The weekly BW4EVER Kerrigan Cup Tournament #2 of Season 5 was played yesterday. The finals stood between the American player NrT.Cypressman and the German iX.DarkGamer, both Protoss players. The American could finally be victorious with 3-1. On his way to the final he beat the previous champion SoL.ScHnibl0r.
The popular weekly tournament called BW4EVER Kerrigan Cup attracted 88 players who were hungry to get the second spot for the grand final later this spring with the chance to get 50 €. Known names like SoL.ScHnibl0r-, [pG]GeNtLeMaN and iG.KaaZ participated in the tournament. However, these players got eliminated early in the tournament, except for ScHnibl0r who got defeated in the quarterfinals by the winner of the whole tournament - NrT.Cypressman.
His games shorter than 15 minutes except the finals
On his way to the final, NrT.CypressMan finished all of his games in less than 15 minutes, which was a lot because of his agressive game style. "I usually attack first before my opponent does." he explains, "For example, dt drop, or 1 zealot rush something like that.". When playing Protoss versus Protoss he is a bit more defensive and it generally takes more time to finish his opponent off. In the finals iX.DarkGamer waited, and it proved to be four very long games.
Connection problems caused extra games
The first match was disconnected by Cypressman, so the game was replayed, and was eventually won by the American. The next game was a long one, where the same problem happened again, and Cypressman gave the win to DarkGamer for having a big advantage over a strategical mistake. With the score 1-1, put in a higher gear and managed to win the last two and thereby won with 3-1.
