Evil Geniuses member Ricky Ortiz won West Coast Warzone 3, beating Utah's 801 Strider in the championship. Ricky, the losers bracket representative, forced a second finals which he won, 3-2 after taking a 2-0 lead.

Ricky won five games in a row, the first three came in the first championship match. Here's some other notes about the finals, I'll have plenty more later in the day.

• Ricky was 3 for 4 when the game went to Round 3. The last win came on Game 5 of the second finals.
• Five of the nine games in total went two rounds only. Ricky won three, 801 Strider won two.
• Ricky had three perfects in both finals combined, including the double perfect.
• When on game point, Ricky was 6 for 8, 801 Strider was 2 for 8.
• Ricky's combo rate per round was nearly double that of 801 Strider, 2.619 to 1.381.

If you want stats of the match, head to the stats section. Unfortunately, the second finals match is incomplete because one round was unavailable for viewing. Once I see how that round played out statistically, I'll update those numbers.
