| Action commences at World Cyber Games Grand Final It was surprises galore at the World Cyber Games 2005 Grand Final, with dark horses from the host country qualifying for the knock out stages. Team USA's Matthew Proctor, Garland, easily qualifying for the next round of Warhammer 40K and Singapore's Dead Or Alive: Ultimate player Wilson Chia, Tetra, raising eyebrows by qualifying top of his group undefeated. Last year's gold medalist in WarCraft III Manuel Schenkhuizen, 4K_Grubby, from the Netherlands was upset by Li Xiaofeng, SKYCN, from China in a hotly contested match. Li emerged as the player to watch for WarCraft III after topping his group undefeated. 4K_Grubby joined him as the other qualifier from Group E. 2004 WCG gold medalists and CounterStrike hot favorites, Team 3D from the USA begin defence of their title against Team Lions from Pakistan and Team U43 from the United Arab Emirates while their Team 3D cohorts and Halo 2 finalists, the Ogre Twins, start their anticipated run to the final with matches against Team Canada, Team Switzerland and Team Columbia.
