This earned $50K towards Blevins' charity, the Boys and Girls Club of Detroit. Some final words from at #UltimateCrown"I'm not going to lie, is an absolute liability" /NcqZsBOsO1Ĭlearly upset with how they performed (" Ludwig is an absolute liability," according to Tyler1), Ninja's team brought the fire in game three, taking out MrBeast's squad with the ease we all expected to see in games one and two. A third match was called with each team betting $50K to the winner's charity.

The best of three series was over after game two, with Donaldson's team winning the series and a $150K to Donaldson's charity of choice: the Sarcoma foundation. The skill, strategy and teamwork of Team may be what won them the #UltimateCrown belt, but the infighting on Team is what lost it for the favorites is LIVID at his team right now ? /8WAE4i72eQ Game two didn't fare much better for the blue team, with MrBeast's squad proving once again that a team effort was more valiant than individual performances. When all was said and done, Beast's team dominated game one, stunning Ninja's team and their fans alike. It was a situation where it looked as though a combination of overconfidence by Ninja's squad as well as the team play of MrBeast took over the arena. Within the first 19 minutes of the first game a total of 24 kills had taken place, most by MrBeast's team. The energy of the arena was perfectly transferred to the players on stage, feeding off of the crowd. Yet as the players took their first clicks in Summoner's Rift, Beast's team came out swinging. Many, myself included, figured the best of three event would go Ninja's way rather convincingly, given the League talent on his team. MrBeast's team consisted of some recognizable content creators, including OTK's Mizkif, LCS vet Voyboy, Yassuo, and Emiru. Joining those two were Tyler1, Sapnap and Ludwig. Ninja, for his part, put together a team of League of Legends players, including one he described as a literal God of the game, Doublelift. However, despite the marketing reasons why the HyperX Arena was on figurative fire Saturday night, fans across the arena roared with excitement as the teams took the stage. The Ultimate Crown event was a way to bring awareness to the upcoming Amazon Prime Days happening this week, and pop-up events in Los Angeles gave some players the chance to come out and witness MrBeast and Ninja battle it out in person. The energy in the area was palpable, oozing from every fan as the teams on stage put on a show. DICE took place earlier this year, while CES limped along as new variants of the virus kept people from feeling too comfortable to travel.
It's not like there haven't been events in Las Vegas since the pandemic restrictions started to ease.
As one of the first real marquee gaming events to come out of the pandemic, seeing one of esports' top draws, Riot's League of Legends, emblazoned on the big screen in front of a crowd of raucous fans intent on seeing their favorite content creators duke it out for bragging rights (as well as a huge chunk of change for charity), as a local it was fantastic to feel the city alive again. More from the HyperX Arena for the #UltimateCrown League event. Gaming events and Las Vegas are becoming as synonymous with each other as the city and cheap buffets (which, by the way, they aren't so cheap anymore). The Evolution Championship Series, the fighting game community's annual premier event has taken place in Las Vegas for over a decade.
Until the pandemic took over the world, Icelandic developer CCP Games hosted an annual EVE Online gathering, EVE Vegas on the Strip, bringing MMORPG fans from around the world to the desert to plan wars, commiserate on ships lost and much more. Capcom has hosted its annual Street Fighter Capcom Cup here, while Amazon in 2019 brought an Apex Legends celebrity showcase to the same HyperX Arena. Las Vegas isn't a stranger to gaming events. Powers of light and darkness.This past weekend, Amazon Prime Gaming's Crown Channel hosted the Ultimate Crown tournament, pitting the "Ultimate Creator" against the "Ultimate Gamer." Taking place at one of the Las Vegas Strip's most iconic locations, the Luxor Las Vegas, fans from all over descended upon the HyperX Arena to see which team would reign supreme.
