Brought to you by Alienware and Gamespot, organised by SC2SEA and hosted at Alienware's brand new LAN cafe at Lucky Chinatown. This tournament saw FlashdraKe emerge as champion, winning his first big tournament and a brand new x51 Alienware desktop! After fininshing first in his group stage, he beat TNLadyBug 2-0, then DM.MCZ River and EveVendetta in two close series 2-1 to go on to a clean 3-0 victory in the finals.
There were two very strong notable performances to mention. FaDeManly originally meant to play in the Amateur bracket, finished second in his first ever tournament, knocking out hot favourite EveYekke and EveDougy along the way. EveVendetta also places in 3-4th in one of his first tournaments. eehanWrath wins the honour of finishing as the highest ranked amateur, making it to the top 8 defeating DM.MCZ DgNa (boyfriend of Polaris). Other amateurs mGGGlazed, mGGTartarsause, TNLadyBug, Rstnpss and FlashAccel also put up good fights against the Pro players.
The Champion - FlashdraKe! Prizes presented by Chips from Alienware.
