Our new EGL champions have been crowned after a Bo11 Grand Final, with Vital Gaming coming out on top over Infested. Vital Gaming were strong throughout the event and seemed to be the team to beat as soon as RoughNeX had faltered. Infested did well over the course of the weekend to even reach the final, as not many people would have rated their chances due mostly to the little time they had teamed together for. For them to managed to fight their way through from the Loser's Bracket into the Final speaks volumes for their ability on the day, and is testament to how well they would appear to have gelled over the last 2 weeks. The victorious Vital Lineup (FrenZz, Dodge, SHKZ, Galaxy) For the team of Vital Gaming it was a first LAN win for each member, whilst also being a much higher placing than any of the members had previously got; with none really making much of a mark on previous tournaments. The time spent playing with each other as well as MW3 was probably the turning point for this team, as no team at the event had played as much as they had. Well done to Vital Gaming on their LAN win at EGL7 and we hoped you enjoyed the event over this weekend.

Well done Vital, didn't lose a game the whole event and were well worth the victory in my opinion. Also before the inevitable comments come in suggesting the standard is poor and what not. You can only beat what's put in front of you and if anyone wants to question their ability then they should go out a prove a point themselves. Hopefully Shizzle & Cookies performance may see a few more xbox players consider moving over to PS3 and give it a try themselves. We don't care if the xbox teams are better, we'd rather attend events and get more value for our money and be able to challenge for the money rather than pay the same price to enter an xbox event and run the risk of playing two BO3 matches. Well played to the commentators as well and everyone who came out to support PS3 whether in attendance or at home. Hopefully we can see the PS3 numbers increase for EGL8 and Laniac, may even consider a return myself.
What a shocker, did not expect vital to do this, fair play to them. inb4shkzgetsanego #NexyForeverSecond
Wp to vital played extremely well with some close games of 1 flag and 3-4 snd. Amazed at how well we did considering we were a pickup team and only played since last Sunday due to will being at prelan an us only forming the day before. As for forever2nd - 7 LAN events - 6 top 3 finishes - 5 times 2nd place.
What's the dealio with you, cookie and shizzle? Sticking? They planning to make a permanent move to PS3, would love to hear their thoughts on the event in comparison to any 360 events they've competed at. Hopefully they understand the benefits of playing on PS3 slightly better now.
wp to vital they were the better team and it isn't a surprise that we couldnt beat them considering the ammount of time they have put in scrimming but would like to say good job to nick as coverage and everything else this time was alot more organised and professional
well played by vital and infested, galaxy definitely talked the most shit, which made for an interesting SnD on carbon.
Event was very Dave, we got to play more games which was Dave, community is a lot better (apart from the 2 - 3 kids who have terrible banter) and the competition is more Dave. Pretty sure we'll be playing PS3 at EGL8, as for what's going on with the team i'm not sure as Will is off to build castles every day and Nexy is going i46 with a Pickup team so will probably decide after then. WP vital, very well deserved.
Fantastic event cheers for the support from everyone at home on stream and at the event, heck even my girlfriend got in on the support saying we were going to win before every game , GG's to everyone we played, fine game of eSports m8's.
Shoutout to Dan ( @Unearthly ) for his coaching skills in the winner bracket final and the grand final.
This. I tweeted before saying i thought this event was going be the best for coverage and i thought it was. Was a shame with the player interview videos and what not but as head of media now(@HUGZ) i will try and see if we can maybe get an area away from people to do them. No doubt HYPZ and some other media staff will be there so the interacting with the community at the event will be that bit better. Maybe try get another cam there. I did get a fair bit of footage with a lot of POV of players playing and around the event for people to see.
