After a long and grueling season in CAL, the first Gears of War season is nearing and end with two teams on top. Coming in through the winner's bracket we have LGD Black, a highly skilled team that has placed Third at the recent MLG Meadowlands stop. Facing them will be another great team with members from across the United States. No Name Noobs (N3) had placed Sixth at MLG Meadowlands after facing some of the intense competition that was vVv Vision, vBi, and LGD Red.

The interesting thing about this series will be the fact that N3 had defeated vVv Vision in the low bracket of the CAL Playoffs in order to make it to the championship. With a grueling best of seven series, N3 came on top with stellar gameplay by Sloth and Sarillo cementing the win. The amount of quality teams that N3 had to go through is astonishing, and with the skill that this team has there can be a different team on the winning stage at this July's WSVG Dallas as well as MLG Dallas stops.
