What's interesting is that for both tournaments, there were no championship matches, since the same player met themselves in the final match (Mike in Tournament #1 and Jesse in Tournament #2). As a result, they were declared a winner by default and the 3rd Place match was used to determine 2nd and 3rd Place instead.
Anyhow, feel free to watch some of the exciting match videos! My personal favorite was Match 6 in Tournament #2, which was a pretty epic battle between Eric & Dan!
