BabyKnight and Stephano advance to RO16!
2012's Danish champion BabyKnight dashed the hopes of a double-advancement from fan favorites Grubby and Stephano, taking both of them down in turn as he topped the group. After using phoenix play to defeat Grubby, BabyKnight proceeded to deliver a one-two punch to Stephano, knocking him out with a late game deathball in game one followed by a blink-stalker all-in in game two.
The final match of the night saw Stephano face off against Grubby, who came in after a sterling PvT performance against KrasS in the losers match (KrasS did not look to be in his best shape). Both players showed their determination to reach the Ro16 on the first map, splitting Newkirk Precinct in two to play a marathon game. Unfortunately for Grubby he could not match the cost efficiency of Stephano's Swarm Host backed army and was forced to GG out. The second game was much shorter, with Stephano using a mutalisks backdoor while fending off Grubby's frontal attack to take a 2 - 0 win and a Ro16 spot.

After Suppy's upset earlier in the week, normalcy returned to WCS America as Korean destroyed groups with the Canadian Scarlett as the only exception. Group B saw the Zerg duo of viOlet and Scarlett take first and second, while the Korean duo of Polt and Revival were triumphant in Group C.
Players from the USA suffered yet again, as IdrA, Goswser, and State all fell to the Challenger League. While Goswser did well to defeat Revival in their first series, he was unable to repeat the feat in the return match and was eliminated. State also helped his country save face by eliminating the Korean Oz, but was unable to overcome Scarlett in the match for advancement.
