The very first Mario Kart 1on1 Cup has come to an end. We have seen very tense and exciting matches, but also some players who did disappoint me due the fact they didn't show up.

The big winners of these cup are Demonspawn in the Premier League and octo in the Second League.

The silver was well deserved and both had chances on the gold to my opinion: Yoshi (Premier League) and Yu-Gi-Oh (Second League).

The bronze final was pretty tense in the First League, but it was The Joker who won over his older brother Karatekid. In the Second League it wasn't that hard due the fact ³T»Random_Monk won over R3DSH@RK by forfeit.

Here's a small overview of the winners:

Premier League

1. Demonspawn
2. Yoshi
3. The Joker
4. Karatekid

Second League

1. octo
2. Yu-Gi-Oh
3. ³T»Random_Monk
4. R3DSH@RK

Karatekid had a big advantage to win, but 3 crucial errors made the game

Octo wins the Second League in a thrilling match!

Very nice match but Demonspawn seemed a little stronger

We're looking forward for the big final today in the Premier League! We are hoping and sure will get a very tense and exciting match!

In case this ends in a draw, one random map will decide who has won the match!

First division

Demonspawn
Seems to handle the pressure on him to win so far. After a 21 win streak in the ladder he's more or less the favorite for this cup. Will he be able to advance to the finals or will it be all too much for him?

The Joker
Isn't doing bad on the ladder neither, but already lost a ladder match against his next opponnent Demonspawn. Will he take revenge or isn't he on the same level yet?

Yoshi
By far the underdog in this cup, he has everything to win this cup and is probarbly even skilled as Demonspawn. But will he be able to show his true skills by defeating Karatekid or will he struggle?

Karatekid
Improved his skills a lot by using Manual drifting. He showed Vulcano how to play this game in his group match by racing on a high level. Is he good enough to take revenge on his lost match against Yoshi in the ladder?

Second division

³T»Random_Monk
Played 2 perfect matches in his group. Didn't lose a single map and also on the 2on2 cup he's playing most of the times on top. In his first match there he won all 4 maps! Will he be able to advance to the finals?

Yu-Gi-Oh
Also won his group matches without losing a sweat and just like ³T»Random_Monk he won all the races in the 2on2 cup. Is he a candidate for winning this cup?

octo
Won over the top favorite in this division: ChypRiotE*! We are looking forward to this new top favorite! Was it simply luck or has he just amazingly skills? Is he able to take on with this pressure?

R3DSH@RK
Played the most tense group match of this cup which ended in a draw against boela. Lucky for him but boela's Wii is broken at this time so he advances.. Was it deserved to advance to the playoffs and will he show Yu-Gi-Oh he deserves to be in the finals?

Unscheduled matches will be forced on this Wednesday 4 February!

Good luck all! May the best win.
