, put on a clinic with 34 eliminations - the highest in the tournament, and dealt over 10,000 damage. AussieAntics, known more for his commentary than competitive play, surprised many with his solid performance, contributing seven eliminations and acting as the perfect support.
'It means everything because now I'm a back-to-back LAN winner,' Peterbot said after hoisting the trophy. AussieAntics was quick to praise his teammate, adding, 'Everyone knows this is his win, but I did my best to not hold him back.'
Power outage adds unexpected twist
Adding to the drama was an unexpected power outage after the third match. While it briefly halted the action, players and fans stayed in high spirits. A spontaneous push-up contest between SypherPK and Nick Eh 30 kept the energy alive inside the arena.
The final standings saw Zemie and Cooper finish second with $45,000, followed by PodaSai and Nikof in third with $40,000. Despite a strong start, Clix and Lacy, winners of Game 2, ended the tournament in 10th place.
