Congratulations to Thailand for bagging the 2008 Ragnarok World Championship crown. Team Thailand beat Korea in an exciting finals match which went all the way to game 5, the last game. Official reports on the details of the match are posted at the Level Up site.

Meanwhile, our very own team Philippines was defeated by Indonesia to claim 3rd place. But our boys still gave it their own and swept all their previous matches going into the Final Four. We’re proud of you! It was one helluva fight.
