Favourite Fatality completed his unbeaten run in the XSi tourney, taking down Makaveli in two closely fought matches on Q3Tourney2. Fatality takes first place in the tourney, Makaveli second, Timber third, and Wombat fourth. Congratulations to all of them!

In an exciting finish, Makaveli has just beaten Timber in two games as an exhausted Timber's concentration lapsed. Maka now goes through to play fellow Yank Fatality in the grand final. Keep your browser pointed this way for the latest results and coverage, or check over at XSReality for the full scores!

Tourney favourite Fatality continued his unbeaten record here at XSi with a two game victory over Britain's Timber, giving him a place in the final. Timber will now play Makaveli in the losers' bracket to see who will play Fatality in the final.

In an exciting and closely fought match here in Stockholm, Makaveli has just beaten Wombat 2 games to 0 in the loser's bracket. He will now have to play the loser of the winner's bracket, either Timber or Fatality, for a chance at the final. Full reports on the elimination matches will be available here on EuroGamer tonight or tomorrow, so keep 'em peeled!

Our coverage of XSi continues today, with match reports on all the qualifier round games I saw (25 maps in all, spread between 13 of the 30 matches), the final qualifier results, a write-up of my hazy recollections of Friday night's vain attempt to get into a nightclub in Stockholm, and reports on two of the quarter final matches §from yesterday afternoon.

Wow - what an epic day yesterday proved for those competing in the XSi tournament in Sweden. Match of the day was probably Lakerman vs Wombat in what was "one of the most exciting matches I've ever seen" according to Sujoy. Wombat won the first 14 to 12, and the second match was unbelievably tense: at 11 a piece, it went to sudden-death, and Wombat just managed to get the last frag. Cue a flood of 100+ messages of "Nooooo" from devoted spectators (and clearly Lakerman supporters).

The matches are over for today, with just four players left in the running... It's a double elimination tourney, so there are winning and losing brackets. The winners of the winners are Timber and Fatality (who is still undefeated), and the winners of the losers are Makaveli and Wombat from America, after some very close matches.

Nothing on TV? Tune into Q3TV and watch all the action from Stockholm LIVE using Quake3. The game will be beamed straight into your Quake3 client, so you don't need to download anything extra to catch the action
