WardiTV Mondays #12 ended up being the final competition played on the old version of StarCraft, with the new 5.0.14 patch being deployed a few hours after its conclusion. The final victory of 5.0.13 ended up going to MaxPax, who defeated rival Clem 3-2 in the finals for his second straight WardiTV Mondays victory.

PiGosaur Cup #8 (partial bracket shown)
A few hours later, the PiGosaur cup was played on the new patch... ...but it ended up producing almost the exact same result. MaxPax came out victorious in the finals by a 3-2 score once more, only this time his opponent happened to be SHIN instead Clem.

PiGosaur Cup #8
Major online cup competition concluded on Tuesday with the Olimoleague November finals, featuring the top eight performers from the Olimoleague weeklies that month. While cup monster Clem seemed to be the favorite on paper, Dark ended up baring his fangs to take the first place prize of 1,000,000 KRW (~$711 USD) prize pool. While Dark hadn't been especially active in PTR competitions, that didn't seem to be any problem as he took impressive wins over Clem (2-0), ByuN (3-0), and SHIN (4-1).
