San Diego Surfers Win Pacific Division
The San Diego Surfers have been excellent all-season long and with another match win against the San Jose Hackers, they won the Pacific Division by a point over the competition.
For many, the match was a painful one as though the Surfers prospects were unchanged by their win, they dealt a dagger blow to the San Jose Hackers who were eliminated from the playoffs. A draw would have kept them in it, but this loss by GM Shakhriyar Mamedyarov in the final round against GM Alexey Dreev sealed their fate. A win would have put them in the playoffs.
