The first group stage at the ESWC world finals has come to a conclusion, and a total of 16 teams will enter the next phase.

The first playing day of the 2010 ESWC finals is now officially behind us, as all of the matches have been played out. The winners and runners-up from each group will now move on to a second group stage, out of which the eight quarter-finalists will be found.

In Groups A and B, only two teams stood out in each group: SK and Burning in A, and Frag eXecutors and H2k Gaming in B. In the match between SK and Burning, the Frenchmen were very close to winning, but an impressive second half from the Swedens secured them the full three points. In the other group, the biggest surprise came in the form of H2k finishing on top of the group after beating FX in a very interesting encounter.

In a two-team group, Na'Vi entertained compLexity in a close match as the Ukrainian side were forced to work hard to secure winning honours. With PinG using a stand-in for the tournament, it was up to Fair Frag and Evil Geniuses to contest the top spot of the group, and it went the French team's way after a 17-13 victory over the Americans.

The last group was topped by mousesports, who beat Playzone and OSLF.dk, with the Finnish side coming out on top of the Scandinavian duel with a score of 21-9.
