All-Night Friday Night @ Versus

Versus Gaming will be hosting an all-night gaming party this Friday night, September 24 for $15 plus free doughnuts!  Now, if the free doughnuts and all you can handle Starcraft 2 isn't a big enough incentive to go, I don't know what is!  If we could get enough players to show up, maybe we could do a small single elimination tournament.  So, if you are interested in this Friday's all-nighter, please post a comment here or send and email to starcraftutah@gmail.com and let the friendly fights begin!  No prizes will be awarded if a tournament does happen, just bragging rights!

And That's A Wrap

Well, with the largest Starcraft 2 tournament in Utah completed, we can all take a sigh of relief and throw out a huge THANK YOU to Versus!  I think we can all agree that this tournament was very well organized and was an overall success!  With nearly 50 players in attendance from all over the state and some of the most well-mannered SC2 players I've seen, there is no doubt this tournament was one to remember.

A huge congratulations go out to the top 3 finalists.  Coming in at 3rd place, fro and all, BRoll!  Proving himself to be one of the best Protoss players in Utah, BRoll "tossed" away his competition and walked away with the 3rd place prize!
Rolling in and taking home the 2nd place prize, BloodyWave.  This Zerg player showed his skills and proved to everyone that he was worthy of the 2nd place position.  He could have "creeped" up on you since his last appearance at the tournament held during the beta.
And finally, taking home the grand prize and, yet another tournament victory under his belt:  OnEMoReTrY.  This would be his 3rd 1st place finish in 3 tournaments held here in Utah.  This Terran player is all business and has skills yet to be matched by anyone.  He's never lost a game through any of the rounds in any of the tournaments in Utah.  From the beta, to GEEX, and now at Versus, OnEMoReTrY has proven why he is at the top of Utah's leader board.  We could all agree that he's "terran" it up in SC2!!!  He has now set the bar for all Utah players.  Can anyone beat this crazy-good Terran player?  Who will be the first to give him a single loss?  Only time will tell!  Until then...game on and congratulations to all the winners and a huge thanks to all the players that attended and especially to Versus Gaming for allowing us to play!

The final brackets will be posted soon as well as the official Utah Ladder point system.  Keep checking back for updates as well as an announcement on the next upcoming tournament!

Friday Night Pre-Tournament Tournament
