On Server 2 Devil surprisingly lead for 5 of the 7 maps before being overtaken by his team-mate Pranksta.  Pranksta finished 1st with 1281 points. He was followed by Devil with a close 1250 points, and completing the podium was Tunga with an equally close 1246 points. It was nice to see such a closely contested server where any of the top three could of won. 

Finally on Server 3 Cibermix lead before the break however he was overtaken by Zepset,despite this Cibermix attacked Zepset and the two had a gap of about 50 points between them; Zepset with 1349 points and Cibermix with 1301 points. Third surprisingly went to danekb, who managed to fend off the talented players: spedzo and forgot10 and score 924 points.
