Clément "Clem" Desplances has won the European edition of the Dreamhack Starcraft 2 Masters Atlanta. In the final he met Riccardo "Reynor" Romiti.

After winning three maps in the best-of-seven series, Reynor already seemed confident that he could win the final for himself. In his usual relaxed manner, he sat in front of his screen and nodded to the music on his headphones.

But Clem fought back: he won four maps in a row and thus the tournament. Jubilantly, the 20-year-old jumped into his father's arms.

DH SC2 Masters: Clem as the fright of the Germans

Four Canadian players made it through the group stage. Tobias "ShoWTimE" Sieber was eliminated only in the semifinals of the Lower Bracket against Clem (0:3) and he ended up in fourth place.

"The match against Clem was pretty bad, but overall I'm happy with the result," the Protoss player wrote to ShoWTimE on his Twitter channel.

Clem was a real tournament scare for the Germans: on his way through the Lower bracket, he first eliminated Julian "Lambo" Brosig (3:1) and Gabriel "HeroMarine" Segat (3:1). The Zerg player Lambo made it into the top twelve, the Terran player HeroMarine into the top six.

The last Canadian, Fabian "GunGFuBanDa" Mayer, dropped out of the tournament in a duel with ShoWTimE and ended up in the top eight.
