This ends our last match of the first round of our KPOP Idol-Off, with Heechul (Super Junior) vs. Jo Kwon (2AM). For a mostly not so surprising first round, we sure ended it with a bang. To find out who won, check out our full breakdown.

Squzzle
[Jo Kwon] xhappyvirus - 366409
[Heechul] deniseisafan - 346274
Here we introduced a fairly new game to our MLG tournaments, and a fairly new gamer dominated it. xhappyvirus set the mood for the rest of this match by snatching the first win for Team Jo Kwon, and the score starts out 1-0.

Block Squad
[Jo Kwon] SadFaise - 610440
[Heechul] sandrazara - 486610
Team Jo Kwon’s SadFaise must have known something about this game that other Ninginers didn’t, as he easily took the lead in Block Squad. Team Heechul’s high score lagged behind by a good 120k, despite their best attempts. This game goes to Team Jo Kwon and the score now stands at 2-0.

Pariboro
[Jo Kwon] yayitsmercy - 1175
[Heechul] SUJUSJ - 646
Team Jo Kwon’s winning streak continues with Pariboro as yayitsmercy snatches the high score — and almost double Team Heechul’s score, mind you. yayitsmercy wins Team Jo Kwon yet another point, and they increase their lead to 3-0. It seems as if Team Jo Kwon is unstoppable.

Head On Collision
[Jo Kwon] lytoe - 14870
[Heechul] chocolatecream - 12575
No Idol-Off is complete without lytoe dominating at least one of these games, and lucky for Team Jo Kwon this gamer was on their side. lytoe wins Team Jo Kwon their winning point and makes the score 4-0. At this point, Team Jo Kwon has already won, but stay with us as we continue our breakdown.

Zott
[Jo Kwon] SadFaise - 200275
[Heechul] sleepyCHUL - 20212
Another win by Team Jo Kwon’s SadFaise in this game, and it’s no surprise that he beat Team Heechul’s top gamer nearly ten times over. Major kudos to this gamer as he gives Team Jo Kwon their fifth point. The score is now 5-0, and Team Jo Kwon is going strong.

Easter Golf
[Jo Kwon] SadFaise - 458620
[Heechul] sandrazara - 371700
Easter Golf was a close match not between Team Jo Kwon and Team Heechul, but between SadFaise and lytoe (both of Team Jo Kwon). However, SadFaise ended up with the higher score and wins Team Jo Kwon another point. With an overwhelming lead at 6-0, Team Jo Kwon has got it going on.

Ninja Cubes (tiebreaker)
[Jo Kwon] SyndicateS2 - 6510
[Heechul] lavendry - 5040
And finally, we end this Idol-Off with a Ningin classic — Ninja Cubes. Loads of fun to play, hard to score past 6k. However, that wasn’t an issue for Team Jo Kwon’s SyndicateS2, and this gamer wins Team Jo Kwon the final game of this match. With a score of 7-0, Team Jo Kwon won by an overwhelming margin and totally dominated Team Heechul. Ouch.

Jo Kwon now advances to the second round to take on another Super Junior member — Kyuhyun. Will SuJu’s maknae avenge his hyung’s defeat, or will Jo Kwon’s kkab be too much to handle? Only Ninginers can decide.

Prizes:
Because Team Jo Kwon was outnumbered 5-1, yet still managed to come out on top, they get 500 EXP points and a Jo Kwon pin. 50 EXP to the losing team.

Upcoming Matches:
Taemin (SHINee) vs. Siwon (Super Junior) and Taeyeon (SNSD) vs. Leeteuk (Super Junior)!
