Do you remember last season's grand final? Seven great matches with Smuft and ToT)Mondragon( (picture), after both coming from tough opponents from Winner and Loser Bracket. Smuft had beaten Mondragon earlier in the Winner Bracket and threw Mondragon down in the Loser bracket facing Legionnaire. Mondragon won that series, and was up against Smuft once again. There, Smuft clearly had the advantage, first beating him in Winner Bracket and then taking two straight games. Then on Nostalgia Mondragon did a great comeback and took three straight games, putting the score 3-3. It was to be settled on Neo Vertigo, who will win Team Liquid Tour #1? In the end, the Canadian proved to be the better player, and took home the first prize. For another summary by Rekrul, click » here.

The anti-hack tool BWScanner will not be used for TLT itself. So say the rules. This will probably upset a lot of players, and might stop players to take part. This decision was made because people have had trouble with BWScanner, and that they do not want to hinder those players from attending. The administration does however intend to use it after the ladder - in the playoffs. "When we do; don’t be surprised".

It was won by Smuft, taking home the prize of $750 USD. One of the reasons the tournament was so popular was because it gave unknown players a good chance to play with skilled and famous people.
