Taken from JJnet News:

The JJNet Duel Tournament v1.0 was finished only a moment ago, as the very last duel of the tournament was played.

I have to admit it was a very exciting and close game, definitely worth the title of the Grand Final. The match could have gone either way, however Vegito took a 2-0 victory by winning 2 rounds with results 2-1, and 2-1.

This means the tournament results are now:

Winner: Vegito
Second: FawFuL
Third: Warrior

So, congratulations for the top three. If you want to receive your prizes, contact DanZeal .

I am glad the tournament is finally over, since it took an exceptionally long time to finish (not a record though.) The tournament began in September 2009, and lasted about 6 months, although it was supposed to end before the year 2010 already. It didn't happen. This edition was still a bit of an experiment, as it was the first edition, but after all it seemed to work very well in overall.

The tournament popularity was something that surprised me. The 32 spots filled up by sign ups in under 24 hours, which is amazing. Due to this, I'm planning to organize an even bigger tournament next time. You may expect a Duel Tournament v2.0 to begin in next August/September. I'm expecting next JDC season to be running next Summer as well, so we might probably start it during it, or a bit after. Expect some changes, like the mappool obviously.

Also, here's a brief match report about the Final Duel of the Tournament:

Round 1: FawFuL picked TCS as his map, since both players were allowed to pick anything from the mappool again(except VETOes of course.) Vegito picked Red Team. This round was slightly less exciting probably because of very careful play. However after approx. 2 minutes of playing, FawFuL roasts Vegito, and makes the first score. He holds his only score until the very last minute of the main timelimit, until Vegito roasts him, and ties the game up. Overtime awaits, and it lasts for about 2 minutes, until Vegito scores again and wins the round.

Round 2: Vegito picked BBSwing. FawFuL picked Red Team. This round was a real thriller. Vegito scored already in the first minute, and anything could have happened after that. FawFuL managed to keep Vegito on low score and often on low health as well. Vegito pretty much lost the control, once Faw scored after Vegito's 3hk around halfway. After that, there were a lot of close situations where the match could have ended, especially during overtime, which came in again. They even managed to double kill each other. However, after about 3 minutes of overtime, Vegito finishes the round, and the whole tournament.

Your comment has been noticed. A part of the levels here weren't that much duel-suitable after all. The next mappool is being planned already, and will consist of different and smaller maps. Only two maps from the previous pool will follow to the second tournament, the rest is all going to change.
