The WCG finished on Sunday and the League of Legends tournament also came to a close. After dominant performances by the Asian representatives in the group stages it came as a surprise when all 3 of them were eliminated in the first round of the play offs.
More surprises were to come however. The fairytale story of the WCG LoL matches was that of
Gameburg Team . Although they are not a usual high placing team they managed to knockout the Korean entrant
EDG and then cause a massive upset when they defeated top North American team
Counter Logic Gaming 2-0.
Joining them in the final was
CDE . CDE are a mix team of players from some of the best teams from across the USA. Their road to the final saw them defeat fellow USA participants
Team Dignitas and
Jerome_NEGGRET
The final between GBT and CDE would decide who would walk away with the $25,000 top prize.
The final proved to be one step too far for the Gameburg with CDE taking home the Gold Medal for the USA.
The VODs of the games can be found over on own3d.tv.
