To qualify for the finals of the Rival Rock Series and collect the prizes, the players had to participate in a total of 6 qualifier matches spread over several weeks. Of these, the top 9 duos automatically advanced to the subsequent Semi-Finals.
That is a total of 54 teams only from the qualifiers. 14 teams received a direct invitation and 32 teams made it through the "consistency". The final result was 100 teams split into the two semi-finals, followed by a grand final to determine the winners!
The Winners
The final was exciting. The invites included big names like Stompy & Aqua, Nightsck & Hycr1s, Hen & Putrick ,аnd MrSavage & Benjy.
All the duos did an excellent job. With each round, it became more exciting and the players went head-to-head. But there could only be four winners. Korol1k and Sp1aash ended up in 4th place with a tidy 218 points and thus bagged €100 for themselves.
With 226 points, Kami and packo made it to third place and can be happy with prize money of €200.
Stompy and Aqua delivered as usual and with their excellent performance and 235 points, managed to snatch the silver medal and €300.
