The MLG Orlando tourney has come to an end, with Orz coming out on top. As I mentioned this morning, Orz has come back from a pretty severe choke last month that concluded with MoB Gaming dropping their sponsorship. They were put up against some of the best teams the MLG has to offer, and met the challenges every step of the way. The final round against the Frag Dominant Duelists was a matchup nobody ever expected Orz to win, with Orz running Warrior/Lock/Druid in the final round up against FDD's RMP. Orz walks away with $12,000 and three HP Blackbirds. Frag Dominant makes off with a mere $6,000.
Last month's winners, Evil Geniuses, placed third in this year's tournament, not doing quite as well as the last time around. That's almost to be expected, and they even said as much in an interview GotFrag held with them prior to the tournament. Being last year's winners, they had a great big target painted on their backs and a lot of teams probably spent a fair amount of time doing little more than scouting out EG and their moves. It's actually rather impressive they still walked out in third despite that, and it's a testament to their skill and ability to adapt. Evil Geniuses walks away with $3,000.
The next tournament will be next month in Dallas, Texas. Orz is looking for a new sponsor, but even if they don't find one I'm sure we'll see them there. That $12k has to go to some use, right?

More worthless e-peen measuring.
WoW is not arena. Arena is not PVP.

Awesome. I'm glad to see an RMP counter-comp came out on top, so that people don't keep saying RMP is invincible. :)
Is there vid of the match anywhere, that doesn't require installing their custom plugin? (Actually, I'd install their plugin if I knew it'd let me see the match.)

They usually add recordings of the matches a couple of days after the tournament. Keep an eye on the GotFrag website for them, they usually put up an announcement. And actually, we'll probably post something here about it when they do, too.
