Spart1e denies Cypher weekend double

Sebastian "Spart1e" Siira denied Alexey "Cypher" Yanushevsky a weekend double at the death in the ZOTAC cup.

The Serious-Gaming star was on the verge of a €200 payoff after defeating teammate Adrien "burnedd" Denis in Saturday's GDATA cup but lost out in an epic five map final versus the unpredictable Swede. "Spart1e" had a point to prove after dropping out of last month's top ten and looked in strong form as he progressed to the twenty sixth ZOTAC final without dropping a map. The win over "Cypher" - only his third ZOTAC title - will have boosted the under-fire fnatic player's confidence but bigger challenges undoubtedly lie ahead.

A relatively low turnout from Europe's bigger names over the Easter weekend saw "burnedd" emerge as the main challenger but, despite impressing versus the likes of Felix "smoke" Pafel and Keine "Cny" Angabe, the young Belgian was bypassed by both "Cypher" and "Spart1e" without major difficulty. Former SK youngster Bogdan "bodzo" Mazur also looked good at times in the ZOTAC cup but it was his countryman, Szymon "Sting" Ozga, from Frag eXecutors who eventually got closest to the top spots.

Signups for next week are already underway and can be found below.
