Notes
The final results caused some controversy. Some players were unhappy that Xrotto, a PC player, won, given that Trials Evolution was widely considered an Xbox 360-exclusive game. Additionally, several potentially stronger players did not qualify due to age restrictions, availability, or personal motivation.
Despite the debates, Xrotto’s victory stood—and he earned it. Deal with it.
