Russian term or phrase: до двух, а в группе «С» регулярной стадии таковых не было после двух туров.
this is part of the regular stage of the ULEB cup, and am not sure whether the writer refers to winning teams of that round, or what?? he is not clear.

the whole context:
Третий игровой день сократил количество не проигравших команд, которые вступили в борьбу за трофей Союза Лиг европейского баскетбола, до двух, а в группе «С» регулярной стадии таковых не было после двух туров.
