Hyung Ju "Check" Lee became the first winner of the inagural Asian xLocup, held last Saturday. Several notable names joined in the tournament, such as Xiao Feng "Sky" Li, who seldom joins online events.

The Asian Cup has a tight list of countries who are allowed to join, to improve the quality of competition sans the trouble of finding "neutral" hosts between countries.

Players from South Korea, China, Australia and even Japan all signed up to compete in this tournament.

ChecK faced off against Zhuo "TeD" Zeng in the finals. ChecK wins 100€ prize for taking first place.
