Mage’s Sanctum
Austin, Tx

1. Vibu (Hollywood Cassie, Full Auto Jacqui)
2. DaZengie (A-List Johnny)
3. Gazugafan (HQT Predator, Royal Storm Kitana)

See how we got to these results below:

Road to Grand Finals
This would not be the story of Vibu's dominance. And this would not be the story of Henzzar's redemption. This week, the spotlight was cast upon DaZengie. Many months ago he literally dropped his main for A-List Johnny and has been dedicated to the character ever since. His efforts finally landed him in his first Grand Finals. He cleaned house through the bracket: defeating myself, his long time rival; defeating Vibu, sending him to loser's bracket for the first time in weeks; and defeating Gazugafan's deadly Predator.

Vibu and Gazugafan met once again in Loser's Finals. While Gazugafan showed he did some homework since the last tournament, the machine guns from Full Auto were too much. It would be Gazugafan's impatience that solidified Vibu's path to Grand Finals.

Grand Finals
The odds seemed shifted against Vibu in these grand finals. The champ would have to defend his 3-peat victories against Dezengie who appeared to have downloaded Vibu earlier in the tournament. And coming from Loser's side, he would have to win 6 matches to be the first Austin player to 4-peat.

It was a hype set. Almost every match went 3 rounds, and many rounds were very close. The hypest moment was end of round 2 comeback in game 1 from DaZengie. He had a sliver of health and red fireballs active, while Vibu sat on a good 30% of health. Vibu used the air EX guns from Cassie. DaZengie intelligently ducked the air bullets and jumped over the last ground bullet, used his red shadow kick to get in, low profiled a punish attempt from Vibu and went in for pressure! But instead of using A-Lists cancel pressure, he continued the string using EX Fireballs!! This caught Vibu pressing buttons, he ate massive damage from the fireballs and DaZengie hit confirm in to full combo for the win!

Despite the valiant efforts and close rounds DaZengie would still end up losing 0-6. Congrats again to Vibu!

Money Match | ATP ( Tempest Kung Lao) vs Vibu (Hollywood Cassie, Full Auto Jacqui)
The past several weeks Vibu has began talking a big game, maybe his winnings were inflating his ego. ATP put the people on his shoulders and called Vibu out to a FT10 $20 MM. Vibu was highly favored to win, coming off his impressive string of victories. However, ATP came out of the gates strong. He quickly took the set to 5-1 in his favor. Finally, Vibu made the correct adjustments. Vibu then won 5 straight and brought it back 5-6 in his favor. Ultimately Vibu would have to give up his tournament winnings from 30 minutes prior as ATP claimed his Snicker's money. The final score was 10-8 for ATP.

Next Time...
Will Vibu prove to be unstoppable in tournament? Has Henzzar's previously chilling dominance thawed from the heat of battle? Will anyone such as LoveIn60FPS or TheDarkSilence return to challenge Vibu's unprecedented win streak? Or will everyone drop MKX for Fallout4 and Battlefront? Tune in next time!
