NVIDIA 5v5 Cup

This past weekend’s NVIDIA 5v5 Cup saw plenty of action as several well known teams were fighting for the sponsored GTX 770s. Starting off with best-of-one matches on Saturday, the bracket advanced quickly, ending rather early for some teams, like [sG]stayGreen, who gave a forfeit win in the second round. Previous 5v5 victors [GxGT]Gx gaming did much the same, and the reborn [xCet]Team Excellent fell swiftly to [SynC]Sync eSports in round 4. [Rea]Reason Gaming and REXXARS were also scheduled to play, but they were busy in the Garena Invite Cup #4, and did not get back in time to play here.

In Sunday’s semi-finals Sync eSports ended the winning streak of the [PubV]Public Virgins with a 2-0 in which the Public Virgins showed some promise, but not enough to win a game. On the other side of the bracket it was [BMG]BadMonkeyGaming and [dawn]dawnofthedead who made it all the way to the best-of-three matches. BMG decided to not go easy on their opponents and won this match 2-0, moving them to the Finals, where Sync was already waiting. In a heavily hyped Final match, Sync and BMG went at it in their aggressive play styles and there was no boredom as usual. Now with the disappearance of stayGreen, BMG vs Sync will probably be a common Grand Finals matchup in the future, as no other teams seem to get close to them. In this particular match it was the Monkeys who triumphed eventually, making it a 2:1 in their favour and winning all the gold coins and of course the video cards by NVIDIA.


NA Cup and Variety Cup

This was not the only tournament of last week, of course. We also had the NA Cup and Variety Cup, both in Midwars Banning Pick 5v5 mode. The NA Cup was won by [VIPD]VIP Disco in a sweeping 2-0 victory against the [PubV]Public Virgins and the Variety Cup saw [BUX]Big Bux Money Crew triumphant, defeating [VIPD]VIP Disco, who tried to win both Cups but failed. Congrats to all the teams.
