Minh-Duc "Pipoanhat" Pham took the budget GosuCup crown last night, defeating compatriot Nguyen "Noraneko" Anh 3-1 in an all-Vietnam grand final.
Pipoanhat had a tough trip to the first place, most of his matches going to full three or five games. The Vietnamese had to plough through a large variety of opponents, coming from all corners of the SEA region, including Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia and his own country Vietnam.
Apart from winning the precious 50 Dota 2 keys, Pipoanhat also earns a spot in the $500 grand final in February as he joins Dennisgosu, Alexieishere and Ferdzm as the first Vietnamese in the final 16.
GosuCup SEA #2 standings:
1. Pipoanhat - 50 keys
2. Noraneko - 25 keys
3. Kambras14 - 10 keyes
4. Dragodz - 5 keys
5-8. Mecha17 - 5 keys
5-8. Nexxgen - 5 keys
5-8. Kananai - 5 keys
5-8. Heisnotaxel - 5 keys
Vietnam thus climbs to the top of the nation standings, tied with Philippines for first. While the Pinoys are still lacking a champion, they've managed to get representatives in the top 4 twice in a row now and have a good chance of becoming unanimous leaders come GosuCup SEA 3.
