In an amazing turn of events the two polish hotshots FF.org and Netrunners who had both overcome European challenges from zP and CDAP split first place in a crazy scenario!
Netrunners & FF.org - Joint 1st - 2000 Euros -
zeroPoint! - 3rd - 500 Euros -Due to the enforced closing time of the venue, all the players had to hightail it out of the Poznan Gaming Arena and with a tense final tied at 2:2 nobody knew where to turn. It looked at once stage that a knife round may infact be the decider for first place, however on second thoughts the two teams decided to split the 2000 Euro pot between both teams and call it even!
In the grand final it was FF that drew first blood taking Radar with a mere 10 seconds left to go, Supply Depot was to host the second map and with the pressure firmly on Netrunners they eased to tie the score. Forced into action the teams played a knife round to decide the match, FF won it, but, that round was to bare no relevance on the result of the tournament as both teams decided to share the pot and the placing.
Its been a fantastic days entertainment in Poland, with upsets and action at a dime a dozen! A big thanks to Foonr, GamesTV.org and Headshot radio for their excellent coverage, aswell as the whole PGA Admin team!

Too bad about the time delays and enforced closing time, would've been interesting to see double elimination.
