This was the first time a Panamerican World Cyber Games was held. The participants are the national winners of each nation in the North and South American area. Sadly, the organization in the USA was horrid, according to PuertoRican at TeamLiquid. USA did not send any player for StarCraft, WarCraft 3 nor Dead or Alive 4, reason for this being the USA organizers not giving out enough information about the event. There were no players from Panama, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela or Guatemala either for some reason. Instead we got to see a tournament with participants from Mexico, Brazil and Canada in a group stage then a double elimination tournament.
Group A consisted of CanucK, PaTo and Ninjagmxamd (Edgardo Flores). The Canadian Undead CanucK won the group winnning 2-0 against both players. PaTo tok the second spot, losing to the Mexican player. Group B had Levin and KiWiKaKi from hoorai and the Mexican player Mosho. Levin advances as first, and KiWiKaKi takes the second. Three hoorai players and one verGe in the playoff.
The semi finals emerged, with CanucK taking down his country-man KiWiKaKi, and PaTo defeating Levin. Unlike the StarCraft tournament a double elimination was played. PaTo takes down CanucK in the Winner Bracket Finals, while Levin defeats KaKi in the Loser Bracket. CanucK then made his way to the grand final after winning against Levin.
