[BRACKET RESET]
#1 OpTic Gaming 2 – 0 #2 Team EnVyUs
Besides the ability of Team EnVyUs to force a second series against OpTic, the other impressive team was BOT Empire, who pulled off upsets over Team Revenge and eUnited, and did so with only two weeks of practice and limited time between matches.
Overall, OpTic Gaming cruised their way to the winners finals, and while they did hit a roadblock with nV resetting the bracket, they still proved they were the best team in Gears of War (for now) by getting a jump on a team that narrowly escaped the losers bracket finals.
Who would you say was the MVP of the tournament for OpTic?
