Grandmasters 2020 Season 2 is over, and three excellent card-slingers were crowned champions in their own regions, securing a spot in the upcoming World Championship.
Pramet “Bankyugi” Putchakan swoop the Asia-Pacific after taking on the 2018 World Champion Wei-Lin “Tom60229” Chen in a very close 3-2 match.
Over here in Europe, Jaromir “Jarla” Vyskočil had a dominant run, securing easy victories over Theo “Felkeine” Dumont and beat fan-favorite Thijs “Thijs” Molendijk in the final confrontation.
As far as the Americas are concerned, Jerome “Monsanto” Faucher made the cut all the way till the end, but his path was no walk in the park. David “killinallday” Acosta gave him a run for his money until the epic final against Fei "ETC" Liang, ending up in a tight 3-2.
