Guess the ESEA bracket winner

We have found the winner of one of our most interesting competitions to date - Guess the ESEA bracket. Two users correctly predicted the entire bracket but only one of them could get the prize, so in the end we had to draw the winner randomly.

ESEA Season 13 Global Finals with $36,000 handed out in prizes took place in Dallas, Texas a few weeks ago, where NiP came out victorious over Quantic in the grand final. Before the tournament we organized a contest where you needed to guess how exactly the entire bracket will play out with this awesome Frost Blue bundle from SteelSeries at stake:

While the majority expected NiP and VeryGames in the final, there were still plenty of entries putting Quantic up there instead of the French team, but not many were able to guess the whole bracket. Perhaps the hardest guess to make was that Quantic would have a slow start by losing to ESC Gaming, and would only then wake up and go on to fight all the way through the lower bracket to the grand final.

After checking all of over 800 entries, we found 3 correct brackets. Sadly, one of those three (#816) belonged to a user who attempted to cheat by posting multiple entries from multiple accounts, so he was disqualified.

That left #427 and #647 as the only two possible winners. Since the prize could only go to one of them, we had to randomly determine who that will be. That called for a best-of-seven coin toss on Random.org, which ended up going in favor of #427 with a 4-1 score.

ESEA Guess the bracket contest winner:

flex[y]- (#427) - SteelSeries Frost Blue Bundle (Siberia v2, Sensei and QcK+)

Here is the winning bracket:

Unfortunatenly, despite also having a correct entry, #647 will remain empty handed. To ease the pain of the unlucky user ESEA has secured a 3 month Premium code as a consolation prize.

We extend our congratulations to both users for accomplishing this difficult task, and we hope the rest of you enjoyed our new competition.
