Deller Wins League of Legends

Posted on November 1st, 2009

Keith Deller was crowned the 2009 Betfred.com League of Legends champion with a 5-3 victory over Bobby George in the grand final at Rainton Meadows Arena, Durham.

The 1983 world champion was seeded second for finals night after he and Bob Anderson had dominated the league phase of the event and ‘Del Boy’ duly went one better than he had in 2008.

Deller and Anderson had fought out the final on both the first two nights of action in Leicester and Middlesbrough and the ‘Limestone Cowboy’ only gained the top seeding on leg difference.

However, Anderson was unable to produce his top form on finals night, having to come from 4-1 down to edge a 5-4 quarter-final win over Peter Ebdon, and he then came unstuck against George in the semis.

Deller took full advantage of the struggles of the man who had pipped him to the title last year, enjoying a comfortable success against Cliff Lazarenko before coming out on top in a decider against John Lowe.

He then recorded a highly respectable average of 88.32 in the final against George, who had whitewashed Dave Whitcombe with a 5-0 triumph in the opening match of the evening.
