Ensidia was one of the favourite teams going into this week's tournament and they lived up to the expectation by beating against All authority Rat. But Ensidia had to work hard for their win, not only because of the strength of opposition, but also because of a huge break between the 4th and 5th games.

With Ensidia looking good with a 3-1 lead on match point, the 5th game went right down to the wire, literally. A rogue-rogue cross kill led inevitably to the time limit being hit. Instead of counting up the damage or instantly replaying the match, ESL's schedule meant that they had to squeeze in some sponsors and giveaways.

The break seemed to have affected Christopher 'KalimisT' Ioannou as he completely forgot to refresh his poisons in the hour or so it took to get the game underway. That let their opponents back into the game as aAa happily pulled the score back to 3-2. But like true champions, Ensidia simply took the blow and came back fighting. They took the next game to give them the 4th map needed to win in the new best-of-seven format.

For aAa this is another step closer to winning an event after they placed 3rd at last season's global finals. A little more time for Ugo 'Thorkin' Paci could make the difference. But then again, Ensidia also had a relatively new addition at this tournament. A second win in 2009 shows just why they are such a well-supported team and they will be ruing the fact that they won't be at Blizzcon later today.
