Following their disappointing loss to wNv.Gaming last weekend in the WSVG China Grand Finals, Hacker.Gaming were able to finish off a win today as they defeated Newlife to win IEF 2006. This tournament featured only four teams, two Chinese and two Korean. Hacker Project and 5P represented Korea and Newlife, along with aforementioned Hacker Gaming, represented China.

It was a rough outing for the Korean teams as both lost their opening round matches up, Hacker Project dropping to Hacker Gaming and 5P losing out to Newlife. Hacker Project would go on to breeze past 5P in their best of three series losing only one round in the span of two maps. However, it took Hacker Gaming three maps (one of which required overtime) to take down a very strong Newlife team.

Stay tuned for HLTV demos from the Grand Finals and Consolation matches.
