We are now half way through the Swiss format group stage at Insomnia63. Three rounds of matches have been played with some high quality ties especially in the third round. The first round of matches were fairly routine and saw no upsets of note.

Once again, round 2 saw results go as a betting man would predict. The most exciting match up came with Business 5 taking on Team monkaS. The business 5 squad (Kioshima, Boaster, Surreal, Kryptix and CRUC1AL) were pushed close by Team monkaS containing UK up and comer Leaf but ultimately edged out the match 16:13. CeX also beat Rasta 16-8 to maintain their unbeaten record.

Fnatic Academy also had a close match on Train against Fierce Esports edging out the match 16-13. We also got to see our first overtime of the tournament with Peritus beating KillerInstincts 22-18. Mogadishu Firing Squad, Mint and Oblivion were awarded forfeit wins in this round. The teams undefeated to this point are Fnatic Academy, Cat345, Business 5, Devious, Endpoint and Team Unique.
