Despite losing last week in the CPL World Tour Singapore Grand Finals to Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel, Sander "Vo0" Kaasjager managed to maintain the number one seed heading into the tournament. The Cyberathlete Professional League World Tour stop in Italy will be the second to last event before the Finals in New York in November. A total of $100,000 USD remain up for grabs between these last two WT stops. With Quake 4 being next years World Series game, this will be one of the last few times we will be seeing Painkiller in a competition.
