While the 5-person team won the scholarship prize, the top-scoring player in the league is from another team in California: a 10-year-old kid named Julien Wiltshire. He was also the first season's top scoring player and even took home a 5,000 scholarship prize. This time, he defeated almost 2,000 other gamers -- twice the number of the first season's participants -- earning him the right to brag that he's now a two-time Minecraft champ. He might also be gearing up for the third season starting on April 30th, so if your younglings want to join, it may be wise to start training them pronto.
