Just goes to prove that we do not have to go AG.
That said a) it was an American lager, b) he used a yeast starter (rather than dry yeast)

It looks like he was lucky with his tap water too, although impressive he won with a fairly low alcohol beer.

He built up his starter from dry yeast.
Most folks would advise that a starter is not required when using dried yeast...just pitch two packets.
Just goes to show....there is no "wrong" way.....or perhaps more accurately....there are many ways that will work.
