History: On March 8th of 2014, No Dice Gaming put together two large show matches featuring four premier level professional players. The first of which (March 8th)[5] featured Liquid's TaeJa, CM Storm's Revival, Puzzle, and Dragon. This first event casted by BaseTrade, it was a successful event with great players, casting crew and production. TaeJa took the win over revival Revival 3-2 in the first set, and Dragon beat out Puzzle 3-2, resulting in a TvT final. TaeJa displayed his world class Terran vs Terran skills, and took first place convincingly with a 4-0 score. While Puzzle was able to beat Revival 2-1 for a third place finish.
The second (March 29) was able to bring in the likes of Puzzle, Dragon, HyuN and Seed. HyuN and Puzzle were able to open things up strong, HyuN beating out Dragon 2-0 and Puzzle taking out former GSL Champion Seed 2-1. In the losers bracket, Dragon was able to take a out Seed 2-0 in two very close games. In the winner's/championship match, HyuN was able to take yet another commanding victory over Puzzle 2-0.
