Live: Watch Day 2 of the ePremier League Final
Going into the final round of fixtures, Group C was particularly close with all five players still in with a chance of qualifying.
A last-minute winner in extra-time by Fulham's Jarvis Denham (ITzJxrvis) against Tottenham Hotspur's professional gamer Simon Nystedt (Zimme) effectively knocked out both players.
Instead, Jordan Croft (Croftyboy925), who had already played his four matches, endured his nervous wait that was ended by the welcome news he had progressed to tomorrow's knockout stage on the head-to-head rule.
Crot, representing Huddersfield Town, qualified after narrowly beating both Fulham and Spurs earlier in the day.
