The team challenge saw Kuwaiti group Gameworks Clan contesting against A List from the UAE and Saudis Team Illusion. After a close battle,
Kuwaits team of five was announced winners.
Prize money worth more than US$ 8,000 was presented to winners by LG Electronics officials, sponsors of the LG Windows Gaming Championship.
