MS Bitburg, 16-18 May 2014 - webcast, scores, chat....

Rumour is disruption secure a 4-0 win in their second game. This means that they're almost guaranteed a spot in Sunday because of the 3 wildcard draw in SPL. Which IMO is ridiculous.

Could you explain that, as I don't really follow?

the sunday becomes a final 16, they take the top two teams from each group. Because SPL is only 24 teams this year, they're is only 6 groups so 12 teams will go through. This means that they need to bring through an extra 4 teams, which is where the wildcard comes in. A wild card is given to the top scoring third place teams. So the highest score (for example, right now Disruption are 1|+3, this means one win, and a point difference of +3 because of a 3:2 loss and win of 4:0) So by keeping a high point difference they put themselves in a good position to secure a wild card. Does this make sense? I'm a little hungover.
