Today was the City Hunter Starcraft 2 Charity event, and as I have time (finally) i've done a short writeup for those who didn't go (and for those who did!)

First note, I have no photos yet as they are being uploaded tomorrow, stay tuned for them. Also I have been asked by City Hunter to cast various series from the tourney so also stay tuned for them (and there are some REALLY good games in there!)

First up, always nice meeting new people, and I got the pleasure of meeting a bunch of new TA players, Sif, Tom and some people from 'LAG'. Great to see new players turning up to the event.

Group stages was 8 groups with 4 players each, only 1 player gets out of these groups and Bo3 games for each set. There were few upsets, and at the end of the group stage the following players emerged from the slain nerds that was their groups:

nGenLight
nGenBenji
TASanchez
TAScarecrow
TARossi
TAriiChard
aLtPiG
LAGWakinLife

Pretty solid top 8, rather then go through all the results, here are the final brackets:

Final results are
1st: aLtPiG
2nd: TARossi
3rd: TAScarecrow
4th: nGenLight
5th/6th: TAriiChard
5th/6th: TASanchez
7th/8th: nGenBenji
7th/8th: LAGWakinLife


Now before we talk about some focal points, alot of people will be quick to point out that nGen did not take 1st like I managed to point out on various media such as my Podcast and my Stream, and during the trip home I have come up with the following excuses:

- There was Lag
- Light was Sleep Deprived
- I Cast too much and cannot practice
- The sun was in our eyes

As you can see, above points are hard to dispute and thus no flak shall fall on myself or my clan, nGen.

On a serious note, PiG played really amazing and was most deserving of the win, also like everyone else present at the event was a really nice guy.

Hope to see more of you at the next event!
