The whole team contributed to the tournament victory over the day, with Keven "AZK" Lariviere and Kenneth "koosta" Suen starting the day slow to end the grand finals at the top of the board. 

The recently arrived South African side of Bravado continues to show that they can compete against MDL-level teams as they claimed a 2-1 victory of their own earlier in the day over F1-racecar-PEEK.
