Reach takes down the Chinese hope Super in the IEST finals and wins 20,000 USD!

The last day of the IEST was today, and first we got to see Moon win the WarCraft tournament. Only a couple of hours later his compatriot Reach (picture) took home the StarCraft first prize, by defeating the last hope for the Chinese crowd.

In the semi finals we saw Super take down the Australian player Legionnaire, while Reach played and won against his team mate YellOw. In previous news at GosuGamers we told you that they were trying not to face eachother, but they ended up doing so anyway. Super made a great tournament, but fell to the mighty Protoss of Reach in the Grand Final. The match for third prize was also played where YellOw was too much to handle for the Protoss Aussie.

IEST 2006 Playoffs
Semi Final
Ehome.Super	>	Legionnaire	2-1
[Oops]Reach	>	[NC]...YellOw	2-0
Grand Final
[Oops]Reach	>	Ehome.Super	3-1
Match for third
[NC]...YellOw	>	Legionnaire	3-0

With this tournament Ehome.Super is now ranked second in the GosuGamers Database, but still a couple of points behind for Testie to sit comfortably on his throne. Legionnaire went up a couple of positions after good results, taking down F91. He also won against Reach, but as we do not include Koreans in the database he did not get any points for that match.
