The first LAN event held in Singapore in 2013 holds multiple leagues to pit SEA players against one another, either to find hidden talents or to create the most interesting games, with Zenith plowing through First Departure.
The first LAN event to happen in Singapore this year, Flash Season 1, has ended with Zenith taking a win over First Departure earlier today.
Besides the Pro category, both the finalists also participated in both the Amateur and Open division. Zenith emerged victorious on the Open Category and a week later, First Departure blew the spectators away as they performed spectacularly against the long-standing Singaporean champions.
Zenith had the last laugh today as they once again appeared on the main stage of the Alienware Arena in Singapore and took it to First Departure.
Zenith won 2:0 against their rival and walked back home $1,000 richer.
Neolution.Int, disguised as [L]ittle in this tournament fell short against Zenith in the best-of-three semi-finals and played DSD to claim third place.

Ice and Yamateh in Flash League.
Zenith debut their new roster with Wei Poong 'Yamateh' Ng and recently released Chee Cai 'Ice' Chua in the first season of the Flash League. Despite the shaky nature of roster changes, their teamwork prevailed and they proved that they are still the best Singaporean team.
Zenith's captain, Daryl 'iceiceice' Koh is currently leading the MVP ballot with a little short of half the votes, 47.8%.
First Departure shot into fame early in 2013 competing at a high level despite being relatively unknown in the international scene prior to the Flash League. They are rumored to be invited into the SEA League later in the week.
