Armaggeddon Grand Slam Asia 2013 ends with a bang!

 

The final day of the Armaggeddon Grand Slam Asia began with the Losers’ Bracket Final between First Departure and Awake. First Departure was able to defeat Awake and earn the right to face ABC in the Grand Final in a re-match of the third round of the tournament.

 

 

ABC and First Departure had met each other earlier in the tournament which saw ABC showing no mercy to First Departure and sending them down to the Losers’ Bracket. First Departure showed great resilience and put that defeat behind them and fought their way into the Grand Final for a shot at revenge. ABC had a dominating tournament thus far and had not lost a single game. They held a 1-0 advantage in the Grand Final leaving First Departure with all to do and needing to win 2 games against the favourites.

 

Champions - ABC

 

The Game 2 between ABC and First Departure saw First Departure exposing some of ABC’s weaknesses leading to the first defeat for ABC during the tournament. With the best of 3 Grand Final score-line tied at 1-1, ABC came back strongly in Game 3 and stated their aggression from the beginning. First Departure fought hard to stay in the game and on a few occasions was able to overcome ABC’s over-aggressive stance. However, the fairy tale run was not to be for the Singaporean team as ABC wrapped up the match in the same dominant form that they had displayed throughout the tournament and claim the championship title.
