Hawkeye defeats Keev to win MLG Fighter's Arena!

[Jaxel]

Yesterday, the top 8 players from the MLG Winter Championships flew out to the MLG Studio in NYC to compete in the exclusive Fighter's Arena! In a stunning upset, Hawkeye (@iltokyoli) from Chicago, who came seeded in 8th place, defeated the 1st seeded player Keev from France in an almost completely one-sided 4-1 Grand Finals!

Congratulations to Hawkeye for retaking the Soulcalibur title for America! In addition to the top 8 players, Rod "Slasher" Breslau from GameSpot.com was on hand to conduct interviews with the top two players throughout the day.

Here are the final standings for Soul Calibur V:

• 1st Place: Hawkeye – $1,500
• 2nd Place: Keev – $900
• 3rd Place: Kayane and RTD – $500 each
• 5th Place: SomethingUnique, LostProvidence
• 7th Place: Shin_RyuJin and WingZero

CONGRATS TO HAWKEYE!!!!

Even though I was only able to catch the replay, since I was at ATL revival yesterday, I was literally on the edge of my seat the entire tournament, rooting for players on a pre-recording like it was live.

This MLG Invitational was AWESOME; quite literally the best matches ever recorded for Soul Calibur 5! ^0^ I loved the event and let all my friends know about it

Hawkeye's Natsu play was amazing, easily the most fun to watch out of everybody. I really admire that aggressive style. And to force Keev to do what he did make me LOL IRL
