The PNY XLR8 Tournament has reached its precipice as the top 4
teams have distanced themselves from the pack and made the cut for the
double-elimination finals bracket.  Team Devastation, Dynamic, SXP,
and Cyber Revolution managed to battle their way through some stiff
competition just to get to this far, and it will be even more exciting
as the final 4 bracket kicks off on Sunday the 18th. We’ve seen some
major upsets along the way including Team Dynamic squeaking by the
former CGS Optx squad in the Round of 32 and I’m sure there are a few
more in store. To check in on the action starting this weekend, you
can view the bracket at the following link -

Powered by PNY, this tournament was free of charge and open to all
professionals and amateurs alike. With other 65 teams signed up, the
tournament has been a resounding success thus far and whoever wins
will be receiving a PNY XLR8 9800 GTX + 512MB Graphics Card for their
efforts. This is just one of many tournaments hosted by PNY and if you
missed out, don’t worry because more are on the way.
