Unseeded, still won

The fact that Grubby was unseeded after losing to Zerter in the Dutch qualifier, his chances in winning the whole tournament was a bit lower than they might have been. Although, Grubby showed his strength and fought his way until the end. This win brings him yet another impressive title, and also a nice prize sum - 13,000$ USD. Deadman becomes the runner-up and gets 9,000$ USD, and ReiGn gets 6,000$ USD, after beating the Chinese player Sky in the match for 3rd place.
