Team Exile5 Wins Bad Company 2 EA Cup

Newly formed team Exile5 has caused an upset in the online gaming world last week by winning the Battlefield: Bad Company Online Tournament EA Cup this week. Beating the likes of favourites and reigning champs, Team Sidewinder in a close finals game where only 26 tickets (from 240) across two rounds separated the best in the country.

Thanks to sponsors HP and Puma, each member of the ultimate winning team (including subs) will receive an HP 320G Pocket Media Drive (valued at $249), a Limited Edition Battlefield Bad Company 2 t-shirt and a Puma Cap. Plus the captain will win an HP High Performance Elite Desktop Computer (valued at $3699). The captain can risk his life by keeping it or raffle it off amongst team members if desired. With a total prize pool for the winning team valued at $8000.

“This has been a fiercely contested battle. Exile5 are obviously serious gamers and we hope that the HP kit they receive will be enjoyed by them in the future,” says Jess Rangi, Personal Systems Group Marketing Communications Manager, HP New Zealand.
