20:57 GMT (+00:00): Morrow 2 - 0 XYlla. Cloud Kingdom - Morrow and XYlla blocked each other's natural with a manner hatchery and pylon, respectively. Morrow ling harass gets him an early edge, and XYlla's +1 timing push came too late, as roaches pour out and stomp on XYlla's push.

20:25 GMT (+00:00): HyuN 2 - 0 robih. Shakuras Plateau - robih's early stargate play yielded no results, so he followed up with some carriers. HyuN's army arrived before the first two carriers arrived, and robih's ground army was decimated within seconds.

20:21 GMT (+00:00): Monster 2 - 0 Protosser. Cloud Kingdom - Monster delayed the baneling's nest for pure ling aggresion, and while Protosser landed some crucial baneling hits, Monster had double the harvester count. Protosser's counterattack failed, and Group F is done for the day.

20:00 GMT (+00:00): Polt 2 - 1 Cytoplasm. Ohana - Polt opened with hellions like he usually does, so Ctyoplasm, knowing how Polt plays TvZ, opted for roaches. Polt tricked Cytoplasm by going cloaked banshees instead of his usual marine push and with no anti-air for the Zerg, it was checkmate.

19:57 GMT (+00:00): TLO 1 - 0 Mana. Ohana - In closely contested game that saw both players put together maxed out, end game compositions, TLO's well supported brood lords were enough to triumph over Mana's mothership supported army.

Snute was lucky to catch the build with an early roach push and put up enough spine crawlers in his base to stop the all-in.
