Twenty of the best players from most top CS countries separated into four teams. Five thousand dollars and regional pride at stake. DKDEPL won the final against CCCP.

Winning the first map, dust2 with a close score of 16:13, team CCCP never knew that the second map, inferno would be even closer but not in their favor, as DKDEPL played exceptionally in the overtime and both teams went to decide it on de_nuke.

CCCP lost the first half on nuke taking only four rounds as CT, which is really rarely seen in professional CS nowadays. After such a great T side, DKDEPL quickly finished off their opponents, not allowing them to take a single round.

Arbalet All Star tournament final standings:

1. DKDEPL (zonic, trace, TaZ, NEo and approx) - $3,000
2. CCCP (Hooch, Dosia, Zeus, starix and AdreN) - $2,000
3-4. Korea-Spain-USA (Solo, glow, fRoD, n0thing, MusambaN1), Team C (walle, Delpan, moddii, face and GeT_RiGhT)

Team DKDEPL came up to the final after a great moral-boosting win over the Swedish-only mix team C.

The Eastern Stars, team CCCP defeated Korea-Spain-USA on their road to the final match.

The captain of mix-team CCCP, Dauren 'AdreN' Kystaubayev gave a statement to gameinside.ua:

"We had no problems with giving out information during the game, because we all speak Russian. I imagine how the others (exluding Swedes) did communicate. We had democracy in-game - any player could suggest any move and we together thought about all that. The final was a lot more interesting than the first game, because DKDEPL has better players than KSU"
