Southern Roofing win Java Cup 1
Southern Roofing have won the first Java Cup over Booty Duty 2-0 (16-12 Cache, 16-7 Mirage) and won $1,300 as a result. Southern Roofing contained known names Michael "Grim" Wince, Jack "xCeeD" Holiman, Matthew "mCe" Elmore, and Ali "phantom" Sachs while Alex "lanhero" Suarez made an appearance on Booty Duty.
Southern Roofing managed to win the event without dropping a map, while Booty Duty dropped single maps to Don't Take It Personal and Ten Gallon Terrors in their playoff route to the final.
In the final, Booty Duty's pick of Cache was up first. Despite winning the pistol, lanhero's side couldn't scrap together a functional Terrorist side until late in the half, barely making a 6-9 scoreline. They managed to tie the game up 12-12 late in the game, but Grim's rain of terror was too much, as the 17 year old picked up 38 kills in the map.
Southern Roofing held control of the second map Mirage, going up 8-0 and then 12-3 on their T half. It wasn't much different after the side switch, and Grim once again topped the scoreboard and led his team to win the map and series.

1. Southern Roofing (Grim, xCeeD, mCe, phantom, rax) - $1,300
