"Nightning" defends his title


He's done it again. Around three months after his first strike, star player “Nightning” pulled off another coup. In the fastest final in the still young history of Hobby Legends, the player from Cologne secured his second success with an impressive performance. But one thing at a time...

We were delighted to see another full field of participants despite the summer temperatures and the vacation season. In addition to many familiar names, there were also a few new ones that brought a breath of fresh air and great plays to the battlefield.
In Group A alone, five of the eight players were making their first appearance on the Hobby Legends stage. It was these players who ultimately decided who would qualify for the grand final. "JackBfangirl” won the group by a wafer-thin margin of 1.5 points over runner-up "DrVuong". Another newcomer, “Backfischttv”, reached the final day as the best third-placed player in the group.

Group B almost saw a record for the ages, as “RoadRunnerX” won four of the first five rounds. Only in the final match did the clear triumphant of the group have to settle for third place. He therefore scored 33 out of a possible 35 points in the preliminary round. Behind him, “Arktanier” and “Florian2601” qualified first. Unfortunately, Florian was unable to take part in the final on Sunday and therefore gave up his starting place.

In the final Group C, our good friend “bulgi” made his debut as a caster and was immediately faced with a star-studded field. In addition to the eventual winner “Nightning”, old master “Giedel” and streamer legend “Pennywise1” were also there. The big surprise, however, came from standard specialist “Sunandrain”, who secured third place and a place in the final behind “Nightning” and “Penny” in his first participation.

Once there, “Nightning” set the course for victory in the very first round. Just under two hours later, after four rounds had already been played, he was able to set the lobby in check and then converted the first match point to win the title again. "DrVuong” finished in a strong 2nd place, leaving "RoadRunnerX", who had the same number of points, behind him due to his higher finishes.

We congratulate “Nightning” and are curious to see if and when his streak will be broken. The rest of the field will definitely have to keep at it.

We have to give special mention to “bulgi”, who did a lot of advertising and thus ensured a full field of participants. As long as there is interest, we will continue to organize the tournament. Therefore, of course, a big thank you to all the players who competed on the battlefield this weekend and, despite the delay, also ensured a good atmosphere in the individual chats during the rounds. We hope to continue to welcome new and returning names to our events. See you in October.
