Day 4 of WSVG ISC ends crowning 5 champions. Which one of your favorite teams took home the title? Counter-Strike 1.6 (Marc Turner) The CS tournament moved along pretty smoothly and encountered a few surprise finishes / close calls along the way. Team 3D survived an early scare from d2x in their single elimination match against d2x and went on to place 9th-12th. The Brazilian pug g3x managed to have a very strong tournament sending multiple top tier teams into the lower bracket ultimately finishing 6th. Second place ESWC finishers Fnatic fell to Alternate Attax in the upper bracket and were knocked out of the tournament in the consolation finals by Complexity, granting them a 3rd place finish. The Germans of Alternate Attax cruised through the upper bracket giving them a birth into the CS grand finals. The Americans of Complexity fell to Attax in the upper bracket finals only to win the consolation finals and try for redemption in the grand finals. In the end Complexity prevailed winning both finals matches and captured their first Dallas tournament title. Scores, demos and Gamesense Statistics here.
Quake IV (Nathan Coulter) Could the Quake 4 tournament section of WSVG Dallas, be seeded any more perfectly for the top 16? Or did the seeds dictate the final placing of the tournament? Either way, the top 16 from seeds based on previous events and the final standings look surprisingly the same. Alessandro "Stermy" Avallone had a great tournament. Finishing unbeaten throughout the upper rounds, he looked in control and a "sure thing" for winning it all. He put many of the top players in the world into the lower bracket, including Alexander "Ztrider" Ingarv (finished 3rd) who had upset Johan "toxic" Quick earlier in the tournament. Toxic did not give up and battled his way back through four rounds in the lower bracket, including a win over Johnathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel who finished 4th, to finalize his position on the championship stage. Johan "toxic" Quick looked a new player on Sunday morning however, winning the both championship matches in very convincing fashion. He played very dominant, controlling the tempo of the game, and limiting stermy's ability to get power-ups.
Halo 2 (Travis Cosby) This year's Halo 2 tournament lacked what everyone considers the best team in the world, Final Boss. Regardless, this tournament was full of excitement and skill; Str8 Rippin and XiT Woundz were able to answer the call for professional gamers. While both teams played hard, it was only one of the two at the end of the day that was walking away with the title.
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (Travis Cosby) After years of arguing that Ghost Recon was a good platform for competition, gamers around the nation are now rejoicing in the fact that their game has been given the opportunity to become one of the forerunners of the console competitive community.
Project Gotham Racing 3 (Travis Cosby) The racing community is also rejoicing this week as the WSVG has opened the door for many a racing fans dream. Gamers who live and die by their racing games now have a chance to present their skills and compete against some of the best in the nation. Project Gotham has made its mark as a competitive racing platform.
