    Well it was by far the biggest Tournament but it was pretty badly organised.

    First 2 rounds were BO1 and the entire Tournament was Single Elimination...

    Funky won, he got 60€. He 2-0'd deadlock in the final who won €40. 3rd-place was between Chicks and Freewareplayer.


    Yes, they put me and Funky on the same side of the bracket... we met in Round 2 and played a game that lasted about 30 mins? I'll upload the replay if I get time tomorrow!

    Nothing special, we played a LOT before the Tournament and knew each others style pretty well so I went mass bio anticipating no/late Colossus.

    Only won €30 im afraid.

    I disagree about it being badly run although i would of changed some things. (at least bo3 in all rounds)

    As to spectators there was a good interest in Sc2. Apparently there was a nice few people watching me
    but i didn't notice(too immersed :P )

    It was run well but yea the format could have been better in my opinion. We finished up the tournament pretty damn quick and single elim with bo1's is pretty unforgiving.

    Plenty of lads I was talking to after watching the competition were saying that they must get back into it/get it/get better, so it definitely had a positive impact on the other LANners
