Whilst newcomer Chaos Phoenix of Reading kept on the heels of S3AD0GS throughout the entire tournament a couple of unlucky races left him finishing in second. The rest of the racers kept the skill level at a very high grade which led to extremely close finishing scores, especially with Whitehouse and Divers finishing at a joint fifth.

gamerbase staff member smile reporting with some feedback throughout the day on the epic battles that are taking place here in the gamerbase arena.

12:00: Tournament is starting! There are A LOT of people here today - the atmosphere is incredible! A lot of contestants brought friends and family with them to cheer them on, and you can hear them! Every match is ending with an applause from the main stage which is really helping the players to settle down and enjoy their battles.

12:20: No major upsets so far from the contestants taking part, some very very impressive trainers are here today, and their pokemon are just awesome.

13:00: The top 64 section of the bracket has now been completed and winners have progressed into the top 32. Matches are about to get started. Many thanks to all of those that made the journey here today who have gone out so early in the competition.

13:10: we're starting on the Top32 section of the tournament now! This is where the level of play will rise dramatically! The Main Stage action is really exciting to watch!

13:30: Special mention to gamerbase regular Akito who just knocked out of the top 32, in a very cool battle on the main stage, truly demonstrating how epic this game can be by his strategy being crumpled by a Critical hit!

14:15: We're in the final stages of the top 16 now, this really is an incredible game to spectate! A lot of the people knocked out in the earlier stages have stuck around to see how the tournament pans out, which is really nice to see.

14:20: The Quarter finals are now starting! The contestants have been announced and all 8 proudly sit at their stations having survived some epic battles... from this point on we'll see the champions progressing into the semi's!

14:37: The quarter finals have finished and now we're onto the semi finals! The next matches in the tournament are being played out on the main stage only - The tension is building! The 4 people knocked out in the top 8 received Pokeballs and a pack of Pokemon Trading Cards as Prizes for the efforts in the tournament - Well done!

14:40: Semi Final 1 begins with Balakai and Skaraflame battling it out!

This is a really exciting match! We're also recording this in HD so there will be a video to watch of this battle as a link from the tournament bracket!

With the battle time being extended to 20 minutes, we're seeing it being used strategically! A few well placed earthquake attacks have left both players with 2 pokemon out of 4 remaining.

An absolutely EPIC win by Balakai! Narrowly espaping death himself with only a few hp remaining manages to take down Skaraflames Tyranatar! Awesome, Balakai progresses into the Finals!

3:00: Semi Final 2 begins, and Pikachimba and Akiratron. Immediately Dark void is cast and Akiratrons team is asleep for the first 4 rounds of attacks!

at 15 minutes remaining Pikachimba has 3 pokemon left and Akira has 2.

at 10 minutes and Akiratron has turned it all around! with 2 remaining against Pikachimbas lone Smeargle!

And Akiratron wins the match! he progresses into the final against Balakai!

The Final:

Akiratron and Balakai are ready to fight! They've both fought incredibly well to get to this stage considering the high level of the competition. Akiratron especially keeping the crowd hyped throughout!

Akiratron getting an early lead taking out Balakais Metagross and Tyranitar, but then equally being beaten down by Balakais replacement Flygon and Garchomp!

Akiratron is now down to only his Latios after after losing his Shiny Metagross and Zapdos!

Amazingly Akiratron managed to take them both down with Latios! and is the tournament champion!
