The first challenge of the day took place at the Flashback Zone where the finalists went head-to-head in the classic racing game – Mario Kart 64. After a round-robin qualifying round, the finalists took part in a play-off format to determine the winner of the challenge.
Lauren (L337Lauren) Berggren raced her way to the top with a victory over Tiffany (liPStiCK) Greene. Third place went to Héléne (LadyLara) Bronnec while Adelle (Lanen) Moore took fourth spot. Rounding off the challenge was Yvonna (Coochie Dimes) Lynn.
After a mid-afternoon break - where the ladies interacted with festival goers by signing autographs, taking pictures, and engaging in the odd game with patrons at the Titan Strike booth - the girls made their way to the Vidéotron booth.
Finalists competed in CounterStrike Source on PCs where the girls challenged each other in a series of Player vs. Player (1v1) matches. Once again, Lauren showcased her superior marksmanship by shooting her way to a victory over Héléne.
With the double victory, the Mandeville, Louisiana native holds a three-point lead in the final standings going in to the second day of competition.
The five finalists will compete in two more challenges on Day 2 of Festival Arcadia - Guitar Hero (1:00pm on the Amp1 Energy Guitar Hero stage) and Brain Age II (4:15pm at the Nintendo Booth). Meet and greet sessions will continue today at 3:00pm and 6:30pm at the Titan Strike booth.
