Hello everyone
This is a quick final word and summary of the 2v2 2020 Aussie Open which has now concluded. First a big thanks to all the teams that took part in the tournament, with 53 teams and over 100 players it was above and beyond our expectations. This lead to a great series of games which can be viewed in the recorded games section. Likewise, many games were streamed on twitch by: noodlebox, ShadowCrystallux, LilTrouble and others; with a special thanks to Blair who streamed virtually the entire tournament and co-casted the finals and expert player slam who casted the gold league grand final.
Thank you to the donators who created the prize pool: GrandNagus - $200, Noodleb0x - $200, Lord 0f Lemons - $50, Noszombie - $50 and $500 from an Anonymous source. I would also like to thank Noodle & Flightless for their admin help throughout the tournament.
Congratulations to the gold league 1st place winning team Byzdragon with the players Byzantine & Dragonstar. Byzantine was one of the most improved players over the course of the tournament and in combination with the expertise of top100 player Dragonstar they proved a powerful combination. While there were some hard fought games, particularly in the later series, in the end Byzdragon impressively emerged without a single defeat in the whole tournament and earned 1st place prize of $500. Also congratulations to the 2nd place team Aggressionsbewältigung (anger management) with the players Braedes & homer. They proved to be a powerful combination, as they outperformed expectations by scraping out victories in several close series, providing some great games, to reach the final. They earned the 2nd place prize of $250.
Furthermore congratulations to the silver league winner 1st Place Fastest Castle with the players Leppo & R'wan & Yeetbix, they swept the competition by winning the final and semi-final without a lose, earning the prize of $150. And 2nd Place team Social Jaguar Warriors with the players Henrì & Cardinal of Chemistry, who reached the finals in a number of close series, earning the 2nd place prize of $100.
