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!
Huge props to versus, the tournament had about 50 people yet ran seamlessly. They were also extremely accommodating, not many LAN centers would allow you to plug in your own keyboard/mouse into their computers. The tournament was way fun, and it was cool meeting you all. It was cool to have a tight-nit atmosphere there. Hopefully this is the beginning of a successful SC2 scene here.
ReplyDeleteIs there going to be any VOD's of the tournament game or event?
ReplyDeleteI am currently trying to get Versus to respond back to my emails about getting a few things (i.e. completed brackets, replays). As soon as I hear back, I will let everyone know.
