Losing the first map and going 0-1 down meant no more mistakes were allowed in this best of three match. Serious fought their way back into the match and managed to win game 2 and game 3, and thus the overall victory in this F4F #4.

Av3k over Strenx to win Dreamhack Winter 2008
In a one-sided final of the Dreamhack Winter 2008 Quake 3 competition, Maciej 'Av3k' Krzykowski has managed to beat French upset Kevin 'STRENX' Baeza with a 2-0 score, to win Dreamhack Winter 2008 without losing a map.
On the first map (dm6) the French underdog played very strong in the first 7 minutes, not allowing Av3k to get in his routine of timing items and being in control of the map. After losing an early 7-3 lead, Strenx saw himself catching up the remainder of the map. Av3k played very concentrated and didn't leave any opportunity for a come back of the French LG -machine.
The second map (nodm9) was over after only a few minutes in the game. Strenx seemed to be dazzled by his loss in the first map, and in no time was 20 frags behind. From that point Av3k slowed down his pace to finish the map and match in a controlled way. Without having to show all, Av3k picked up his second tournament victory of the year after winning 
Gamegune earlier this year.
This was also the last final in Quake 3 in 2008, the most succesful year of 
Serious so far. Both Maciej 'Av3k' Krzykowski and 
Alexey 'Cypher' Yanusheushki have performed extremely good. Only 1 tournament this year was not won by either one of the guys: 
ESWC Masters of Athens, which was won by SK Gaming player 
Shane 'rapha' Hendrixson. Both Quake stars will enter the winter in a winning mood, concluding their respective years with a tournament victory.
