Player of the Tournament (MVP):

Matt "PaTyoJoN" Iantosca's dominating play in the Grand Finals basically shut out MoB from having any chance of winning. Iantosca's rampage in the final produced cries of "oh my god" from casters and staff alike at the GotFrag studios in Phoenix.

Surprise of the Tournament:

Drift placing 4th after knocking GR, NP and Green Berets out of the tournament and sending i95 to the lower bracket. Drift was seeded well below these teams for the tournament at the #13 seed.

Stock Rising:

Mug N Mouse impressed almost everyone with play that resembled the old days of Central and Texas glory.

Stock Falling:

Due to unfortunate circumstances, some beyond their control, EG.usa forfeited their first round match and in a connection problem plagued match with TTB, the #1 seed was sent home in the first lower bracket round.
