$100K Baka Warzone WonderLAN: Recap & Results
The very first Warzone LAN did not disappoint. While Tommey and Almond eventually finished with the win, it was a tough fight right until the very end.
After a back-and-forth start to the tournament, the biggest clutch happened midway through – when HusKerrs clutched up a 1v1 against Aydan to secure the win in Game 4.

But that performance was soon overtook, as the incredibly competitive Customs event saw other duos take centerstage. By the final map, Game 8, HusKerrs and Newbz had been supplanted as the field narrowed down to five duos who were all within eight points of each other.
In that final match, fourth-place Biffle and SuperEvan found themselves facing first-place Tommey and Almond. And, with Evan knocked, Biff secured a filthy 1v2 clutch.
