The finals of the Quake 3 duel competition has just ended at the "NYC Challenge", with Dy Syng and Zero 4 battling it out on stage, just before the fireworks, smoke generators and .. bizarre dancers took over the show. The first match was on DM13, with Dy Syng taking the early lead, but Zero 4 soon closing him down and battling frag for frag throughout the middle of the game. The end was all Zero4's though, with him racking up a 15 : 7 lead after ten minutes, and maintaining his lead to the end, finishing 21 : 14 up. The second game was much the same, with Dy Syng getting the first frags on Tourney4, but Zero4 equalising after about five minutes and then pulling out a lead. The two players again matched each other frag for frag during the last stages of the game, but the damage had already been done. Zero4 took the game 29 : 19, winning the match and walking home with the $10,000 first prize.
