As group B came to a close, we talked with Arturo "sukitRon" Gil from Karont3 about advancing from the group, after having lost to x6tence in the opening round.
There was some controversy in the opening match between x6tence and Karont3, as there was a server crash in the second half and that led to an arguement, a GameGune referee rage quitting and x6tence winning in the end.
A 16-0 win against Miticos secured Karont3 a rematch against x6tence. The mix of five nationalities managed to win it and booked second spot in the group.
After the match we spoke with Arturo "sukitRon" Gil, asking him about the two matches against x6tence, Karont3 as a team and much more.

Don't agree with the group system always producing the same double matches though. It'll happen whenever you have a strong favourite and a weaker fourth team, but then you'd want the two most even teams to play it out anyway, as it's quite clear who'll go through and who will not between the obvious favourite and the more inexperienced team.
Anyway, the problem, as I see it, is going to be the two more average teams playing twice, but the first win not counting for anything. As we're seeing it now with 'zNation vs. paiN' and 'ENTiTY vs. Giants'.
Here it would seem more fair if the winning team of the first round actually got some kind of advantage. Since they end up winning one game each, but the latter will always be the one to go through. Perhaps even a third map decided would be the most fair thing, but it's hard to say with pros and cons what would be the best way to handle it. Mostly because you can argue that the winning team of the first round already had an advantage in form of a chance of going through earlier on in the second round, whereas the losing team had the risk of going out in that round.
But mostly it'll be a case of double matches which can often end up with both teams winning a map/match each, but only the latter to go to the playoffs. And what seems most unfair about this fact would be the more or less random luck of map-choice in the third round, which will often be the deciding factor in the closer games :/
