Well who ever expected that. The tournament in Cologne is now officially wrapped up, but with these final standings my guess will be that this tournament is going to be talked about for quite some time to come. Not only did Mvp win it, which proved Mvp's worth once again after obviously taking wins in Korea and foreign events many a time previously, but the upsets that were happening were quite simply unprecedented.

Ranging from MC being 3-0'd to VortiX taking out some of the most prestigious players during his first premier event, and from viOLet destroying Bomber and NesTea not making it out of the group stages to Mvp silencing the nay sayers once again. StarCraft 2 was weird this weekend, but that made this weekend all the more interesting. Time for IEM Ghangzhou!
