Nihilum Arena Wins World of Warcraft Arena Tournament
The CGS 2008 World of Warcraft Arena Tournament has come to a close, with detailed coverage by djWheat and the legendary Leeroy Jenkins. On the European side, Nihilum Arena sped to a quick victory, winning three straight rounds over aAa Agita.
The North America portion of the competition was not as quickly resolved. Frag Dominant Duelists won the first two rounds and then fell to MoB Gaming in the third and fourth. The tension elevated into the fifth round, and the victory finally went to Frag Dominant Duelists.
The final match was a meeting of Nihilum Arena and Frag Dominant Duelists. When all the damage was done, Nihilum Arena was crowned the 2008 3v3 World of Warcraft Champion team, and will be awarded $25,000.
Frag Dominant Duelists will receive $12,500 and the two remaining teams will each get $6,250.
Full video coverage available here.

$25,000 aint really that much money for being the best in the world at something, considering this is sposed to be the biggest event of the season.
At UK exchange rate, and divided by the 3 teammates, works out to about £4k over here, which is a nice sum of money, but ya couldnt buy anything substantial over here, a crappy car, an ace holiday, goes to show gaming still has a long way to go yet, getting there tho  Last modified on 7/20/2008 at 2:59 pm EST |
