After a weekend of intense matches, Mario “BeNice” Müller became the Hearthstone Battlegrounds: Lobby Legends Raid Leaders champion. He took home the majority of the $50,000 prize pool and became the first player to win a Lobby Legends event.
Hearthstone Battlegrounds: Lobby Legends Raid Leaders
Between April 2-3, 16 players duked it out against each other in Hearthstone Battlegrounds. Competitors split into two groups and played three matches per lobby on Saturday, with the top four of eight advancing to Day 2.
Championship Sunday then featured the top eight players dueling under the check format. This new Hearthstone format required competitors to get a minimum of 20 points by placing well round after round before securing a first place finish. Only the player who could satisfy both conditions would win the Hearthstone Battlegrounds: Lobby Legends Raid Leaders tournament.
After four games, BeNice had put the lobby in check. From there, it only took him one more game to achieve victory. After winning, BeNice celebrated on Twitter, thanking the Hearthstone Esports team for the invitation and Jia Dee and Slysssa for providing commentary during the live broadcast. BeNice also noted his enjoyment of the tournament and thanked players for the games.
