Watch the end of the tense final match on Twitch.tv!
Echoing the first Plunderstorm Creator Royale event, Gingi and Meeres claimed victory in a surprise upset. Despite being fourth place in overall points and not getting any eliminations in the final game, they cleverly used a tower roof inside of Stromgarde Keep to avoid lightning strikes from the encroaching storm, winning the match and the ultimate victory!
This may be a contentious victory, however, both for the unique format, which allows anyone within the top 10 point scores to win the overall tournament by placing first in game 7, and the nature of Gingi & Meeres zero elimination win. Rather than take part in the close quarters slaughterhouse on the ground, Gingi escaped the storm by using another team’s Gnomish Gravity Launcher to scale Stormgarde Keep, following the example set by second place team Maximum and Trill. While Mes (partnered with the defeated Cdew) ultimately won the ground battle, relentless lighting strikes from the storm proved their demise, while Gingi watched safely from above. While no doubt cheesy, and perhaps even exploitative, there’s no denying that it was an ingenuous way of stealing a surprise victory.
