Congratulations to Value making his way to the Upper Bracket Final against Rossi losing 0-2 and being sent into the lower bracket where he defeated Petraeus for a rematch with Rossi. Value won the first Bo3 2-0. Rossi was determined to make a fist of it in the second set of the Grand Final and took the first game, but the constant harassment with warp prisms in the following games really helped seal the deal and finished with a 2-1 scoreline in Value's favour.

Value is a platinum Protoss on the SEA ladder, but a Grand Master on the KR ladder. Is SEA better because of this? Haha! I should also mention that Value is known as Cyrano from the now disbanded TSL and will be playing for a spot in the GSL Code B qualifiers - we wish him all the best in the qualifiers!

Thanks to everyone who played, and watched on the streams. We loved casting the games and reading the comments in chat. Thanks heaps for the retweets and getting the notice out there as well. We had over 80 people watching the main stream several times throughout the night

Thanks to the admins who helped us out through the night. pXDuxxie, FSiLLusion and Baldie.

Big thanks to deadpixel and his sidekick Meatex on the B stream and Baldie once again filling the void when Meatex had to leave.

Thanks also to my co-caster Psynapse, couldn't have done it without you.

Massive thanks to the sponsors Tt eSports, USA Foods, The Exchange Hotel and the BarCraft Melbourne people who donated a bit of coin to the prizepool as well. Many thanks!

We have seen the feedback and we will be making sure that the issues that cropped up last night are addressed for the next tournament in February.
