The 2019 Chicago Open was won by Zazu in the Petco (Adam S. Fine, Auroni Gupta, Jakob Myers, and Clark Smith), who defeated Fianna Failsons (Mike Bentley, Matt Bollinger, Mike Cheyne, and Shan Kothari) in the first game of an advantaged final. Hackers and Slackers (Jordan Brownstein, Jaimie Carlson, Ophir Lifschitz, and Eric Mukherjee) took third place.
As usual, Jordan Brownstein led the field in scoring and powers. Somewhat unusually, the winning team featured two undergraduates (Myers and Smith) and three players who had never won a CO before.
