Changes

Some people thought Eddie's 2010 Championship may not have been fully deserved, since he was never pitted against Patrik Nilsson in a tournament match. [note: This is garbage, but some people actually thought that] As 2011 approached, the Goldeneye bracket was set up so that Adam Matis, [[Bryan Bosshardt]], [[Ryan Lockwood]], and newcomer [[Ryan Koch]] would be in Eddie's side of the bracket, while Jimbo, [[David Clemens]], and Patrik Nilsson would be in the other. Ryan Koch emerged as the finalist in Eddie's conference, resulting in one of the more humorous matches of the year, as Eddie came out of character a bit to dish out some trash talk that Koch had been sending his way to get him off his game. The finals would come down to the most anticipated matchup brewing since 2010 -- Patrik vs Eddie -- and Eddie played all out for complete validation of the 2010 championship. Patrik would return for his double elimination matchup vs Lovins for the final match of the tournament, and even handed Eddie a rare single-match loss to force round 3, but to no avail. Eddie would win the 2011 Goldeneye championship in grand fashion, and would back up his all-around gamer skills with a 3rd place finish in Mario Kart 64, and a dominating showing in Super Smash Bros 64 on the big screen.
