SaSe, Creolophus and Ciara the stars of the tournament
As the tournament went on, there were some players who glistened more than others.
SK.Dominator, playing under the nickname domislask reached as far as the semifinals, beaten by 
Ciara in a very good match between the two. Ciara moves on, and Dominator were pushed down in Loser Bracket. There he faced 
fnatic.SaSe who were defeated in Winner Bracket by Ciara as well. SaSe, who were a bit of an underdog amonst his friends against Dominator, actually won the match and is now ready to play the Loser Bracket final. Waiting there is none other than Ciara himself, who lost against the most impressive player as of yet - fnatic.Creolophus who now is in the final against either SaSe or Ciara. Confsing?

The finals features a total number of three best-out-of-threes, where Creolophus will be given the win for the first one. This means we have 1-0 to Creolophus with two matches remaining, each consisting of a best-out-of-three. GosuGamers will most likely be able to video shoutcast the grand final.
