Rocket Royale Recap (10/18)
This contains spoilers, so if you want to catch up on the stream, look away now
Congratulations to Team Complain (Yemen, Dadooh, & X3MW)! They are the Grand Champions of today's Rocket Royale double-elimination tournament!
Coming into this tournament, they had to make their way through the qualifiers as the #7 ranked team in EU by beating both Supersonic Avengers and PeaceHaters (formerly Supersonic Stars). They then continued their impressive streak with a 2-1 win over Cosmic Aftershock in the first round of today's tournament. This was followed by another 2-1 win, but this time over Kings of Urban in some very closely competitive games. Meeting up with FlipSid3 Tactics in the Winner's Bracket Finals, they won the highly competitive series 3-2 only to turn around and face F3 again in the Grand Finals. Needing to win only 1 best-of-5 series, Complain took it to the very edge in game 5 before finally eclipsing FlipSid3 Tactics and taking home the 1st place prize ($300)!
The rest of the standings for the event are as follows: 2nd - FlipSid3 Tactics ($125) 3rd - Cosmic Aftershock ($75) 4th - Kings of Urban 5th - vQ Untethered 5th - Team Shazoo 7th - Swarm Gaming 7th - Orange Creamsicle
The Top 4 teams from today will automatically qualify for next Sunday's Rocket Royale (10/25), while the bottom 4 will need to requalify through the Rocket Royale Qualifiers on 10/24. To be eligible for the qualifiers, though, teams will need to be ranked in the Top 10 of next week's Power Rankings.
