The GIGABYTE Challenge #5 has just come to a close with an entertaining clash between the two previous champions world Mousesports and us Na'Vi.US. world Mouz asserted their dominance by crushing the previous top dogs, us Na'Vi.US in the finals 2 to 1 and claiming another GIGABYTE Challenge title along with $1,500 worth of prize money.


The three-time GIGABYTE Challenge champions world Mousesports made a fantastic return to the fifth edition of the GIGABYTE sponsored tournament, sweeping through the opposition all the way to the finals in which they faced the previous title holders us Na'Vi.US (previously known as us NAR). After dunking their way through the ultimate-centric combo of the Americans in game one, they were put under a real test in game two as us Na'Vi.US opted for a super tanky lineup with the pushing power of Lycan & Dragon Knight. The game was over quickly as world Mousesports was unable to will their way through the life points of the opposition and take control of the game.

Last deciding match was a rout for world Mousesports as they got the boulder rolling downhill very fast, snowballing out of control on the back of a rather unusual Bounty Hunter pick. The Americans never really had an answer to the stealthy killer that Pajkatt was maneuvering effectively, and they had no other choice but to forfeit the last deciding match and call a GG. With another victory under their belts, world Mousesports has now won all but the single GIGABYTE Challenge, which happens to be the one they did not participate in. Previous champions us Na'Vi.US put up a great fight in the first two games of the series, but were unable to stretch the extra mile when it counted. They won’t go home empty handed though, as they will receive the second place prize of $500 with world Mouz claiming the lion’s share of the prize pool, $1,500.
