For those who aren't checking the standings on the first page here's where we stand.
In Europe with 10 games still playing (out of 48 total)
JrEire and Bonobo's Son lead with 6 wins each. Masli and StevieQ are just behind with 5 wins but are running out of time as Masli has just two games and StevieQ one remaining. Shai and Bones2484 are both still alive with 4 wins and three each to play. Gilligan is a long shot with 3 wins and four to play. He'll need to win at least three of them and have some help. Rictus with 2 wins and six to play and enthusedpilon who still is playing six games are mathmatically alive. All the other players cannot catch JrEire and Bonobo's Son.
In North America which also has 10 games still playing.
Chopsui has finished with an impressive 8 victories. He will clinch an advancement if and when either befera loses one game OR inonzuk loses two. They are the only two remaining players who can surpass his 8 victories.
Befera sits second currently with 6 victories and three still playing. Mostmackinest and fireheart are just behind with 5 each although fireheart must win her final game and hope for help. Mostmackinest still has three games playing and is very much still in things.
Inonzuk is still playing in 6 games and with 4 wins can easily move up into a tie with either befera or chopsui, or even surpass both and is very much in this tournament. Godd also has 4 wins but with just two games remaining will need to win both and hope that nobody else reaches a 7th victory to advance to a tie breaker round.
The longshot of the grouping is thedriver who is still playing 6 games and with 2 wins can mathmaticaly reach 8 victories.
The rest of the players have been eliminated from advancement.
The world region still has 28 games playing so there will be a lot of movement in its standings.
