Nearly one week has passed since GGL’s Warhawk tournament switched over from ladder to bracket play. While many valiant competitors were cut down in the switchover, 32 amazing teams made it to the bracket.

Now, 10 of 16 matches from the first round are complete, and it’s time to see who is making the cut…

It should surprise no one that #1 seed [WAR!] eliminated #32 Black Brigade. No disrespect to BB, but [WAR!] are first seed for a good reason. However, a large number of upsets took place toward the bottom of the bracket, showing that ladder seeds aren’t the end-all-be-all of skill.

#20 United Gaming Army took out #13 82nd Airborne Assault. Likewise, #27 (ONI) K.O’d #6 APEX and #22 /7 smashed #11 REDBULLS, who were at one point actually leading the ladder.

Last, but certainly not least, #18 shadow battalion upset #15 Wraith Swat Division to advance in the brackets. Aside from these matches, the higher seed won, which isn’t unexpected.

Several matches have yet to take place, as well. BOOM (#5) are set to take on #28 Agents of Kush, and the rumor is that the teams are already anticipating the need for an admin to be present for the match. Bomb Squad Kittens await the SlaPaHo Tribe, Known Outlaws will take on ICU, KRYPTO KINGPINS will battle Strategic Assassins, and ARMED^ASSASSINS will fight Syndicate.
