While the lead for first place was fairly commanding going into the final round, some would say the real battle was for second and third place. Team Liquid, Welcome to South Georgo, OMG, and Pittsburgh Knights all fought hard in the final rounds to capture and hold the remaining big money placings. In the end, Team Liquid held on to second by a mere 40 points over WTSG who scored high with a chicken dinner in the last game.
