In a tournament where the winner walks out with $1000, tensions were high as Poland's best players went head to head.

Sixteen players, including the Fosken, GohaN and the "retired" Hullah battled in the qualifications for this week's Poznan Game arena, where StarCraft was one of the featured games as well as Warcraft and Counter Strike. Two thousand dollars were up for grabs for the top three finishers, with first place claiming roughly $1000.

Double elimination bracket

The players faced each other initially in a best of three with the losers going on to play in a separate bracket which would be a best of one. The tournament went on to see players like MistrZZZ and ZZZero being knocked out in the second round of the winners bracket. The semi-finals then began with GohaN and Dreiven playing, as well as Fosken and Kinslayer.
