Three time champion Mario 'mario' Viska has gone undefeated for the entire season, winning five of his seven games. As he is the number one seed for the finals, Mario has a strong chance to defending his title, which he still holds from the previous season. Mario, however, has to stay focused on his target as he finished with two draws against Miroslav 'Mirodeniro' Nikolic and Patrick 'PATR1CK' Brunner, both of whom will attend the finals.

Mario's first opponent, dzs' player Mirodeniro reached the finals with a record of three wins and two draws over seven matches. The regular season match between him and Mario ended in a two to two draw.

Compared to the German Pro Series, the Alps' EPS only has 12 players, as apposed to Germany's 16. Andreas 'KategorieC' Zehentmayr, Christoph 'Royal' Berger, Markus 'StUd1nhO' Studer and Austrian World Cyber Games 2008 participant Raphael 'Rafty' Koller, all withdrew from competition before the event had concluded, leaving only 12 for the finals.
