Life In 19x19

The KGS Meijin Tournament is kicking off again. Qualifier tournaments run throughout the year. The winner of the Meijin receives a special magic icon for their account, and a $500 prize.

The link for the February Qualifier is here: http://www.gokgs.com/tournInfo.jsp?id=790 the event takes place on February 6th
You do not have to have KGS+ to enter. Full rules and conditions can be read on the tournament page.

Looks like fun, but my club meets on Wednesdays at that time. I would feel pretty lame missing out on playing Go with my friends so I could play strangers on the Internet.

who won the final tournament for 2012?
