Announcing your 2021 KARDS World Championship Grand Finalists
Hello all!
It is time for an update on our World Championship Grand Finals!
On October 31st we qualified four players for the Grand Finals, and the following day started working to bring them over to Iceland for the final showdown.
Unfortunately, due to the state of covid in the world, our Chinese competitors were unable to travel to Iceland for the period of the Grand Finals, a prerequisite for competing for the world championship. As such, we have had to replace three competitors from the top 4. For more information on how we are rewarding these players, please see the end of the article.
Instead the runners up in the elimination bracket will take their place. This means our top four players traveling to Iceland, competing for the title of World Champion and their share of the $10.000 prize pool are….. Drumroll please!
[h2]The Champions of the 2021 KARDS World Championship[/h2]
[h3]Viebator[/h3]
Viebator is a veteran of the game, having placed 2nd in the first two seasons of KARDS ever held. Viebator stormed his way to a decisive season win during the third season of KARDS in June 2019. Having reached the pinnacle of the game at the time, Viebator took an extended break only returning recently, “just in time to win worlds” as he says in his own words.
[h3]Jking7[/h3]
Jking7 is a familiar name for anyone that has followed KARDS for the past couple of years. Having won 15 seasons of KARDS or around 48% of all KARDS seasons that have been played, no player wants to stare across the battlefield and see Jking7 as his opponent. He has also proven himself in a tournament setting and is currently tied for the most Officer Club Championship wins in KARDS history, having secured the title four times.
[h3]Darkness[/h3]
Darkness is another long standing veteran of the KARDS scene, having placed near the top of the ladder more often than not and has secured himself three season wins. Darkness is a decorated tournament player as well, having won back to back KARDS Opens when they first began and secured himself in the top 8 of the Officers Club Championship on multiple occasions. Darkness is a prolific streamer www.twitch.tv/darkness4gaming and one of the more popular content creators in KARDS, allowing those interested to peak inside the brain of a top KARDS player.
[h3]Bison[/h3]
Bison is the “youngest” player of the four in terms of time spent in KARDS, having played since February 2020 but he has been a regular near the top of the ladder in recent months. Bison might not have a season or tournament win under his belt, but this fired up Frenchman is coming for the win in the World Championship Grand finals.
[h2]Date and Time[/h2]
The Grand Finals for the KARDS 2021 World Championship will be played live from Iceland on the 4th and 5th of December. The action will commence at 13:00 each day with every second of it broadcast live on our Twitch channel www.twitch.tv/kardsccg
Make sure you tune in and catch the epic finale of the 2021 KARDS World Championship.
[h2]Chinese invitational[/h2]
With Covid-19 ramping up again and increased restrictions starting to take effect, our fantastic finalists from China were unable to make the trek to Iceland and participate in the Grand Finals. We are, however, extremely impressed by their achievements and don’t want them to go unrecognized!
This is why we will be hosting a special edition invitational tournament on January 26th for the top World Championship candidates from the Chinese community with a prize pool of $5000!
The invitational will feature the three players unable to make it to Iceland for the WC Grand Finals, as well as, a legend of the game from the Chinese community in Fenrir, a back to back World Championship quarter finalist! With this, the field is set for the ultimate showdown within the Chinese community.
[h2]Invitational Participants[/h2]
[h3]CCMS-031[/h3]
CCMS-031 is our reigning World Champion haven risen from relative obscurity during the last World Championship in 2020, CCMS proved himself as one of the top minds in KARDS through his dominant performance in the 2020 Grand Finals, securing him the coveted title of World Champion. He’ll be looking to extend his winning streak by taking home first place in the invitational.
[h3]cu元素收集大师[/h3]
cu元素收集大师 has become a staple of the KARDS competitive scene, securing multiple appearances in tournament playoffs and securing a back to back spot in the semi-finals of the KARDS World Championship. Cu元素收集大师 is ready to secure his name in the history books for KARDS with a win during the invitational.
[h3]孙笑川258[/h3]
孙笑川258 is a veteran of the draft queue, having conquered most challenges in the draft queue 孙笑川258 has relatively recently started making a splash within the competitive scene but from his appearances it is clear this is a talented player. He is now on the quest of building his legacy within the KARDS community and a win during the invitational would be the perfect start.
[h3]Fenrir[/h3]
Fenrir is a longstanding KARDS player having started playing well before the game released. He appeared in the Grand Finals top 4 in Iceland for the 2019 KARDS World Championship and qualified for the Grand Finals again in 2020. Fenrir primarily plays draft, but when he makes the venture over to constructed people are bound to be shaking in their boots. Having been fairly inactive over the recent months, it will be interesting to see how the Chinese veteran, Fenrir, fares against the young and hungry competitors waiting for him in the invitational.
Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for further updates on the 2021 KARDS World Championship Grand Finals as well as the Chinese Invitational!
