KiiroKami was the star, but we don't have a picture of him, so here's krZ

slashLEVEL take Boston Underwatch LAN

agm and Nurfed went home in third place.

The two-day Boston LAN run by N3rd Street Gamers and Underwatch came to a on Sunday with Main team slashLEVEL taking home the title and their $2,750 share of the $4k up for grabs.

Held within the Balance Patch Video Game Cafe in Masschusetts, an MDL/Advanced mix built by Jimmy "Nurfed" McFadden and Michael "agM" Abood called Big Frames attempted a lower bracket run to get themselves in the money, as they bested a 13-3 Open squad called eufnbu (apparently pronounced "f-new-boo"). 

Anthony "Nervous" Boring headlined the top of the scoreboard against eufnbu closing out Nuke 16-12 with 25 total frags.

Beating the nonsensically pronounced eufnbu, Big Frames moved onto the consolidation final against Northeast Mayhem, who beat out the defending champions Vivency in the quarterfinals earlier in the tournament.

The relatively unknown Mayhem squad, composed of players from IM through Advanced might have seemed like an underdog coming into the match against the semi-pros, however didn't blink in the face of adversity. Mirage was a PUG paradise for Rossein "Conan-Kun" Choeng as he dropped 31 frags with the rest of his crew cleaning up the scraps for a 16-9 victory, leading into a Winners Finals rematch against eventual champions slashLEVEL.

United States Michael 'agM' Abood 8 - 21 -13 51.6 44.0% 0.43

Due to coming from the upper bracket, slashLEVEL were gifted a 1-0 advantage, which meant very little to the mix, once again being able to play Mirage. With the map driven mostly by each sides CT-side, it was a Joe "Lonewolf" Pustorino 1v1 clutch to push the game to map point, later taking it 16-13.

While fragging well on the previous map, it was on Train that KiiroKami was able to dump 28 kills in 23 rounds to take the map and title against the Mayhem.

great venue, good pcs

joke of a format for 2 day lan. 11 hrs between start of our group and playoff game 1st day. bo1 playoffs... they had plenty of pcs put have to open them to the public after a certain time and then only use 20.

4pack/jet/kmz mix + truth/recky/sfx/addy mix went out early too. I think they fix the format this tournament looks way diff. never ever ever do bo1s for 2 days w/ only 16 teams lol

thou this lan is likely gonna do really well in the future esp. if they fix that
