The 14-year wonder kid Syed Imaad Ali clinched the Gladiators 32nd Pakistan Scrabble Championship after staging the most astonishing comebacks ever witnessed in the tournament's history.

Waseem Khatri enjoyed a great run on day two and was looking very safe at the top with a healthy lead. After 20 rounds Imaad seemed out of contention as he was four wins behind Waseem.

Imaad didn't give up and calmly started climbing up the ladder. He saved his best for the king-of-the-hill stage when he beat his mentor and 8-time National Champion Waseem four games in a row to snatch a fairytale victory.

Hammad Hadi Khan finished 3rd with 18 wins and a spread of 1333 just edging out his younger brother and defending Champion Hasham Hadi Khan.
