And so we come to the final day. We got a fair amount of sleep this morning, from 5am to 9, so that was a nice rest before driving back later today. All the BYOCers gradually made their exit, mostly from noon and on.
All the pro tourneys wrapped up today. Fatal1ty finished in 4th place in the Quake 4 tourney, but his teammate (and understudy in a sense), Stermy, avenged him by beating LoSt-CaUsE in the finals. I didn’t stay to watch the final matches but I saw his matches against socrates_ (who finished third) and he really tore him up. Stermy’s aim and anticipation is awesome making him deadly with Quake’s rail gun.
Earlier in the day, I ran into Stermy in the hall and congratulated on a great tourney thus far. Young kid at only 19 or 20. He said after this weekend, he’d be following the rest of the WSVG tour – Dallas, then Brazil, China, the UK, etc. Last year, between the CPL tour and some other events he said he made about $150k. Amazing.
Got a little more UT2k4 in this morning along my last couple GB of downloads.
Also, the staff recoginized all the “fun event” winners in the BYOC area. Team Boom Tape got many props from Francopoli on our winning Duct Tape War device. He said it was one of the most impressive Duct Tape creations he’d seen through all the past events. For our trouble we each recieved a nice Creative Labs headset.
There was also a raffle for a BOOM gaming chair among all the BYOC event winners, which somehow I managed to win! It’s pretty sweet with four built-in speakers and a ‘kicker’ for vibration. Too bad the basement’s not done.
We packed up around 3 or 4 and headed home. It was an awesome four days without a doubt. Look for another wrap up post next.
