The hot technology extravaganza being held at Hanover, Germany has come to an end and with it a lot of tournaments have also come to an end that were going on at the premises of CeBIT 2008.
Samsung European Championship was being hosted by the organization behind World Cyber Games and Samsung, and Extreme Masters Season 2 Finals were being hosted by E-Sports League of Europe and Intel.
The gaming gala saw many gaming celebrities amongst many like Grubby, Lyn, HoT, ToD for WarCraft 3, and mouzSports, SK-Gaming, MYM-Gaming and Fnatic for Counter-Strike 1.6 tournaments.
With so much talent at show it was expected that there would be upsets and there might be new champions.
As it happened, SK.Lyn won Extreme Masters (EMc) WarCraft 3 beating mouz.ToD and GravitasGaming.HoT won the Samsung European Championship (SEC) WarCraft 3 by beating the likes of mouz.SaSe and mouz.ToD.
Hot however crashed out of the EM Tourney, while Yoan ‘ToD’ Merlo from France had a strong showing in both the competitions and managed to stand second in one and third in the other (How the hell does he do it?!).
SK.Lyn has considered a favorite for the EMC, amongst many others which included HoT, ToD and MYM]Grubby. Lyn met ToD in the final and defeated him with an aggressive playstyle.
On the Counter-Strike 1.6 side, mouzSports won over e-STRO 16-8 to clinch the 1st spot and prize money of $50,000 at the EMC. Fnatic won over MYM Gaming 16-4 in the final match of the Grand Final to win the SEC title.
