This event were held as part of the event held to broke the world record of the longest continuous LAN party, although participants in the tournament does not directly involved in the LAN party. At most 56 teams participated in the tournament, most of which went through preliminary round in the first day (Friday the 10th) before qualifying to the last 32. Some noticeable teams involved in the tournament includes DNA-SK, Mineski.my (former Ucpro) and of course, arguably a top team in Malaysia (if not the best), Kingsurf.

Kingsurf attend the tournament strengthened with their new addition into the team, former Impreza starlet Lemion. Together with Hyhy, Tofuboi and the long served member Yamateh and papaxiong, they march through from each round to win the tournament. But the road to victory does not sound as easy as it looks. While they have virtually dominated their first three playoff games against STR (not in bracket), Amazone and Axis, they met their real test in the semi final against Mineski. After hard fought victory in three games, they march to the final, meeting Fishnet. Fortunately the final were not a pushover for Kingsurf as Fishnet gave little resistance in the first game, and while their performance improved in the second game, they still failed to stop Kingsurf's domination (despite KS using unusual hero like Nightstalker)

Highlight summary credit to Underminer:

1. 3 full Singaporean teams participated in this tournament and all 3 managed to reach the Quarterfinal stage. They are Axis.GWSG, Fazethemusic and PMS. Where PMS has in it 2 female gamers!
2. The 3 game series of the semifinals between Kingsurf and Mineski.Tbun definitely is the replays worth your time watching. For Mineski having both hands on Ks' throat at game 2 after winning game 1 comfortably they simply lost it due to the combination of pure genius from all 5 of Kingsurf players. Ks Tofu admitted after the game that he was barely playing on at that time with 1 hand clutching his mouse sensing the imminent defeat until a stroke of genius by Yamateh at the Roshan area gave them a ray of light at their darkest hour and Ks took full advantage. With their momentum winning at game 2 brought them an early lead at game 3, Ks suddenly decided to murder everyone having a faint heart watching live. For some reason, they decided to trade 2 of their raxes with a roshan kill and traded another 2 more of their raxes for a throne tower, bypassing Mineski 2 mid raxes. With the rax score at 0-4 down, suddenly Ks looks sure of defeat until pure genius saved their lives once again with a few perfectly executed combos taking Mineski.Tbun down.

Congratulation to Kingsurf for winning he tournament. Really great games against mineski in the semi final.
