After a long event, with probably way too many games for just two days, the StarCraft2 tournament has come to a close. Although the Spanish players were tipped as dark horses it was a wholly different Zerg who came around to steal the show: TargA.


That said mentions need to be given where they're due, which in this case means the winner: TaeJa. After a hard fought bracket run in which X had to be overcome it's safe to say the tournament trophy is in deserving hands.

A special mention does go out to TargA though, the Zerg from Norway who basically stunned the opposition with his strong and consistent play, his variation in builds and ability to adapt. If anything TargA is looking incredibly promising, and with a couple of tournaments already in his planning he's definitely a name to look out for.

As for the winner, TaeJa, this makes the third tournament he has won in 3 months, completing the hat-trick. Both finalists won direct seeding into the DreamHack Winter Championships later this year, whereas the rest of the top 16 only won qualification points towards achieving a spot.
The complete final standings for the DreamHack EIZO Open Valencia are:

1st TaeJa - $10,400 + Direct Seed
2nd ForGG - $6,000 + Direct Seed
3rd TargA - $3,000 + 20 qualification points
4th TheStC - $3,000 + 20 qualification points
5th-8th Stephano - 12 qualification points
5th-8th HerO - 12 qualification points
5th-8th SaSe - 12 qualification points
5th-8th VortiX - 12 qualification points

This is not my work, i'm just trying to give some extra exposure to a brilliant e-sports journalism website. They have hands down the best interviews in the business, and well worth following on youtube, or on their own website at,
