In Group A, Ike beat bobbyex 3-1 in the opening round, before overcoming Nalguidan 3-0 in the next stage to secure his place in the final.
Bobbyex was able to overcome that difficult start by making the most of the elimination bracket. A narrow 3-2 win over UchihaSaske led to a 3-1 victory over Nalguidan and a spot at the Winter finals.
Over in Group B, noblord won his opening match against Starfruit 3-2, before securing his place in the finals with a 3-1 again against bloodyface.
Bloodyface made up for that loss in the decider match against killinallday though, with a thumping 3-0 victory that ensured his place at the LA finals.
We’re still waiting for full details of the Winter Championship finals to be confirmed, but as soon as we have them we’ll add a post to the homepage.
