Good stuff. Check out the official details below.
Helsinki – October 2, 2018 – The World Finals for the inaugural season of the Clash Royale League (CRL) will be held on December 1 at Japan’s Makuhari Messe, home to some of Japan’s largest gaming events, music, motor and other entertainment festivals. During the full-day event, the top Clash Royale team from each of the League’s global regions will compete, with only one team reigning victorious, earning the Golden Crown Trophy, a place in the history books as the first-ever Clash Royale League World Champions, and more.
“The Clash Royale League is such a global competition, and after hosting the World Finals for our individual competition last year in London, we can’t wait to bring CRL World Finals to our fans on the other side of the world in Japan,” said Chris Cho, Clash Royale League Commissioner. “Japan was one of the top performing countries during this year’s CRL 20-win Challenge and has cultivated a burgeoning esports scene with both passionate top-level players and casual players. Fans around the world – whether at the live event in Tokyo or watching along from anywhere on their phones – should expect an amazing celebration of the highest level of Clash Royale gameplay.”
“We feel very proud and honored to have the first-ever Clash Royale League World Finals in our home country, said Fuchi, player on Japan’s PONOS Sports Clash Royale team. “We’ve been seeing mobile esports grow incredibly fast here, so to have Supercell host the World Finals in Japan is very special to me. Last year I participated as a finalist in the Clash Royale Global Series in London, representing Japan, and was very upset that I couldn’t become the champion. This year my team and I are ready to stand at the World Finals, compete against the best teams in the world, and claim the title as World Champions!”
Earlier this year, 25 million players competed for a chance to participate in the inaugural year of Supercell’s Clash Royale League, a global esports league with 44 teams across the world’s best esports organizations, including North America’s Cloud9, Team SoloMid, Tribe Gaming, Immortals, NRG, Complexity, 100 Thieves and Counter Logic Gaming, and Europe’s Team Liquid, Fnatic, G2 Esports, Team Queso, Team Dignitas, Allegiance, SK Gaming, and Misfits. Every Clash Royale player in the world* was given the opportunity to compete in the in-game Clash Royale League Challenge earlier this year, and of the 25 million who participated, nearly 7,000 players from 113 countries advanced to the next round. After additional online qualifying rounds and regional Combine events introducing these players to the pro teams, rosters were finalized and the competition began. The Clash Royale World finals will bring together the top team from each of the CRL’s five regions to Tokyo to play against the top team in Japan.
Fans everywhere are invited to follow along with the rest of the Fall Season and watch the World Finals live on the Clash Royale Esports YouTube channel. For fans interested in attending the event in person, tickets are now available [here] for 1450 JPY (approx. $13 USD) with an additional service fee, and will include exclusive, limited edition Clash Royale merchandise.
