With Zotac quickly closing in on a landmark 250th event, it was no surprise to see a Korean emerge victorious. Typically, the top eight was comprised of Eastern Europeans, Koreans and Chinese.
The final was an all-Asian, all-Human affair, which Reprisal won with a comfortable-looking 3-1 victory. Kenshin actually took the first map, but that was as close as he would get to victory.
Secret Valley was the pick of the games, with bot players in and out of each others bases all game long. Kenshin often seemed to have the advantage, slaughtering workers over and over, but Reprisal's fight control was just too much for the Chinese player to handle. Excellent positioning and superior micro were enough to tie up the series, and put the momentum in Reprisal's favour for the rest of teh match.
