Grubby wins WSVG London. Here at Games Convention.

Trocadero Center, located in the heart of Piccadilly Circus worked as the platform for World Series of Video Games stop in London. Two more spots for the WSVG Grand Final was at stake and surely there were prestigious player names with achievements to back them up. United Kingdom is a nation in the WarCraft 3 scene that does not have that many superstars, however the Serious Gaming member DeMusliM is considered the one to hold the nation flag with pride. He was initially announced to take part (along with a bunch of other names such as Insomnia) but according to the vague coverage of this tournament he failed to show.
Instead another Human player from United Kingdom stood up and defended United Kingdom: former All the Rage member BoNd. He was backed up by Ducker, but none of them had what it took to fight the superstars travelling to London from abroad. Norwegian Night Elf player Creolophus eliminated Ducker in the Winner Bracket Semi Final and Giacomo defeated Ducker in the Loser Bracket. BoNd lost to SaSe in the second round, and then the UK knock-outer Giacomo took out BoNd as well.
Instead we got to see SaSe, Grubby, Creolophus and Giacomo fighting for the top two spots. SaSe lost to Grubby yet again (looking back in the EuroCup) and was dropped down in the Loser Bracket. There he defeated GLaiVe but then lost against his clan mate Giacomo in the Loser Bracket Final. Creolophus went up against Grubby in the Winner Bracket final, but lost 2-0. In the Loser Bracket final, Giacomo awaited. After losing to Grubby earlier in the Winner Bracket Giacomo had raged on for a rebirth to the tournament. Creolophus and Giacomo played a close game, ending 2-1 for the Czech Undead player.
Final Standing
1. 4K^Grubby $5,000
2. mouz.Giacomo $2,500
3. 4K^Creolophus $1,500And so the Grand Final: the two G's, the Undead and the Orc player. Both were qualified for the Grand Finals of WSVG, but the seedings and the prize money was to be determined. After two set of games, Grubby winning was a fact after a real tense second game. Grubby wins 2-0, and thereby goes home undefeated - not losing a single game in the tournament.
WSVG Final Eight
Nilknarf #1 LanWar
Shortround #2 LanWar
Deadman #1 DreamHack
SaSe #2 DreamHack
Sweet #1 Chengdu
FoV #2 Chengdu
Grubby #1 London
Giacomo #2 London
We look forward to the final event in December with this interesting set of players.
