Avokodo's first match saw him take on Ferris_Wheel, where he won with relative ease. He then progressed to the next round taking on Numb in what was a fairly long game, after coming out on top yet again Avokodo progressed to the semi-finals taking on Smiley and winning 2-0.
He then marched onto the finals, where Bravado's Shase was waiting, the finals saw a best-of-5 matchup featuring two of South Africa's players who proved to be amongst the top during the Beta stages of the game.

Avokodo was able to take the finals, with an uncontested 3-0 win.
