iBUYPOWER have become the eighth and final participant at MLG after defeating Torqued 2-0 (16-8 de_cache, 16-2 de_cobblestone) in the qualifier.
Sam "DaZeD" Marine's team had to leave the first qualifier disappointed, as they were taken out by mouseSpaz, who clinched the second North American spot after Cloud9, who were invited.
With seven spots already filled by the time last night's North American qualifier reached its later stages, it was do or die for iBUYPOWER, who were using Spencer "Hiko" Martin as a stand-in.

iBP faced their toughest opponent in the second round, as they took down Denial 2-0. Since then they cruised past LunatiK, while Torqued took down Mythic to get to the final.
The grand final wound up being a very one-sided affair with Mohamad "mOE" Assad's side only managing ten rounds across the best-of-three as iBUYPOWER reigned supreme. MLG X Games Championship Qualifier #2 NABest of 3 iBUYPOWER
