Katherine "Mystik" Gunn (time.com article) conquers a male-dominated world

Even though she defeated Yaz Ammari during the WCG Grand Finals, it was a hard climb to the top for Katherine "Mystik" Gunn (time.com article). By the end of their last episode, she was up against Jake Pfister and Cesar Noriega in Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell for a place in the top three. It was even more difficult because they could only view the monitor from mirrors which were always spinning at various intervals. Yaz made the first ten kills and was guaranteed a place in the finals. He sat with the hosts while waiting for the two contestants. Katherine "Mystik" Gunn (time.com article) made two quick kills and edged out Pfister and Noriega, both of whom only needed one shot in order to win. Gunn said she did not know it was the last qualifying round and she thought there was another round to be played. By the end of the game, Katherine "Mystik" Gunn (time.com article) secured a place in the top three together with Noriega and Ammari. They went home with advice that there would be another test before the final showdown. After almost one month, game host Joel Gourdin showed up on their doorsteps to reveal the games they were playing in the finals. They were the following:

Green Day: Rock Band. They needed to play drums to the tune of American Idiot expert mode. They were provided with the Ion drum kit to aid them complete their task.

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger using the Continuum Fightstick. The first person to conquer five rounds will win this challenge.

Halo: Reach. This was given to them way ahead before its actual release so they can practice. The deal was whoever gets to make 15 kills wins.

Gunn flew to LA to compete in the WCG Grand Finals against Ammari and Noriega. But before they could come up the stage, they were surprised with another round of elimination where they had to play ten minutes of Tron: Evolution. This came as a shock since the game was not set to be launched until December of that year. Noriega was dominating the practice rounds but he shocked everybody when he dropped his controller 20 seconds before the end of the round because he realized he was never going to win. The finals leg was now between Katherine "Mystik" Gunn and Yaz Ammara.

Ammara bagged the Rock Band Round but Gunn redeemed herself with a 5-0 win on BlazBlu. She went on to conquer Halo: Reach with a score of 15:1, thus making her the WCG Ultimate Gamer. She bought a really fine blender for her parents from the money she won.
