Next, MaxPax took the European crown, defeating his frequent finals opponent Clem in the finals by a 3-2 scoreline. Finally, herO completed a weekly double by winning the American server cup as well, prevailing 3-1 over GuMiho in the finals. The American cup was notable for yet another deep run by Wayne (aka Rattata), who beat an off-racing Dark to reach the semifinals for the second straight week (he upset Dark's main-race Zerg in week #195). In the non-ESL weeklies, Dark won Kung Fu Cup Winter #2, narrowly beating Oliveira 3-2 in the finals. In KSL Weekly #30, herO completed an unofficial triple by defeating Dark in the finals.
