Team Impunity faced a familiar foe in the finals, with
former Impunity team-mate, Justin Bersamin aka Spaghetti, helming their
opponents, Team Infamous. With inside knowledge of Impunity’s tactics, Justin
led Infamous to a 0-2 lead against his former team. Team Impunity however,
refused to back down and waited patiently for the opportunity to turn the tide.
This eventually came in Game Three and Impunity took the chances that came that
way to battle for their first win of the match. Riding the momentum from the
win in Game Three, Impunity promptly grew in confidence to sweep the match 3-2.

Having now secured their spot at the 12-team tournament
at the World Finals in Singapore later this year, the dream of lifting the
World Champion trophy in their own backyard will be within touching distance
for the young boys from Team Impunity. Last year, Rox Armada (formerly Phoenix
Armada) of Korea took the crown as the regional champions battled it out in
Hollywood, California, for a total prize pool of USD 120,000.
