Notes

• The 1st round match Team Anubis vs Team Blue was won by Team Blue, but was not reported on the bracket.
• Most teams were playing from North America, but Team Northstar was playing from Europe.
  • This caused high pings for one team or the other on their matches, depending on who hosted.
• The top 3 teams from pools advanced to a 3 man bracket, with Team Dave vs Team Northstar playing first, then the winner playing Team Blue in the finals.
• There was a 30 minute break for players and organizers at 3pm. Tournament ended at 6:30pm.
  • There were technical difficulties hosting games and having observers join, which caused delays.
