Titan finish off the Asian Cyber Games with a 4-0 victory against their local rivals Mineski, despite the Filipinos starting with a potentially lucrative winner bracket advantage. The Malaysians walk away with $15,000.
Nine teams from across South East Asia competed in the Asian Cyber Games 2013, with my Titan, ph Mineski and kr StarTale the headliners. Titan and Mineski met for the first time in the semi-finals of the winner bracket, but the best-of-1 format saw Titan lose and fall down to the lower bracket. Titan disposed of Mith.Trust in the lower bracket final to earn themselves a rematch with their rivals.

The format for the Grand Final meant that Mineski entered the final with a huge advantage. Adopting a system used in Starcraft, the grand final was three best-of-three's, with Mineski starting with one bo3 advantage. This meant that Mineski only needed to win one best-of-three to be crowned champions. Unfortunately, the Filipinos failed to capitalise on the head start and lost both best-of-three's 2-0. The result will come as a huge blow for Mineski given that Titan were playing with Yamateh as a stand-in, a player who they had not played with before the competition. GosuGamers conducted an interview with Ohaiyo following his team's victory which can be viewed below.
