Competitive
Over the weekend, the first cash cup of the new season unfolded, featuring the usual suspects at the top in some regions and new names in others.
In Europe, as previously anticipated, the tournament was won by the unexpected duo of Deka and HukHuk, who secured victory by tallying the highest number of eliminations. Worth noting is the impressive fourth-place finish by the French duo Floki and Andilex, who have once again ignited our dreams. It's also worth mentioning that the well-known analyst and content creator ReissHub qualified for the finals while playing with Refsgaard but ended up competing solo during the finals, ultimately finishing in last place.
