#2 Universitas Indonesia A (Adlini Ilma Ghaisany, Dennys Kapa, Roderick Sibarani) overcame the challenge from #8 Binus International (Jaran Walia, Annisa Sabran, Ravina Alimchandani) to become champions of the 15th ALSA UI E-Comp's varsity category. In the high school division, #1 SMA 4 Denpasar took the trophy after defeating #10 SMA 1 Sidoarjo.
In the varsity final, UI A convinced all three judges that the motion "This House Would Allow Consensual Cannibalism" should stand, denying Binus International a double success this week after another team from the Jakarta-based institution won the English Fiesta debates in Malang on May 2. This is UI's first victory in 2011 after coming short in three finals since January. Satrio Adi Pratama from Universitas Diponegoro won the best speaker title, which he also grabbed in last year's competition.
The ALSA UI E-Comp is the longest-running competitive debate event in Indonesia with origins predating the country's 1998 reforms. UI teams won every single edition of this tournament until 2007 when Universitas Gadjah Mada broke that streak. An UI squad brought the trophy back home the next year but the top prize got away again in 2009 and 2010.
