Over the weekend, we held the official Unreal Tournament 3 deathmatch for our AMD-sponsored Economic Stimulus Sweepstakes to determine which prize packages were distributed to the five lucky winners. We left a practice server up and running for the days leading up to the official match, so the winners could hone their skills. And when all was said and done, only a couple of kills separated the grand prize winner from the runners up.
Here's what the final scoreboard looked like at the end of the match:
Grand Prize Winner: Amdcrankitup (MethaneMS)
First Runner Up: Der Meister45
Second Runner Up: Nelsoncp21
Third Runner Up: Acarzt
Fourth Runner Up: Could Not Attend
We also recorded a FRAPS video of the final match. The video below is from my perspective, but you can get a feel for some of the frantic action that decided the winners' rankings.
It was definitely a fun time. We hope the winners enjoy their prize packages and want to thank AMD for making this contest possible.
Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
