WoW AWC Cross-Region Tournament

After Kungarna swept Three and a Half Men 3-0 in round one during the WoW AWC Cross-Region Tournament, they defeated Cloud9 in the quarterfinals with another 3-0 score. When Kungarna fought Kawhi in the semifinals, the 3-0 win streak continued. Since this pushed Kawhi to the lower elimination bracket, Kawhi had to fight SK Gaming before facing Kungarna in the finals for a rematch.

Kungarna and Kawhi’s final showdown kicked off in the Nagrand Arena, with Kungarna getting first blood by bursting down the enemy Priest. Kungarna’s Priest, Mage and Rogue then earned another point in the Dalaran Sewers. However, Kawhi didn’t give up as they defeated Kungarna’s Priest in the Black Rook Hold arena thanks to their composition featuring two Paladins and a Rogue. Next, Kungarna brought it back in the Tol’viron Arena map by defeating the enemy Shadow Priest despite the Priest dishing out high damage and getting healed up throughout the game.

When it came down to the final game between Kungarna and Kawhi, the players duked it out in the Ruins of Lordaeron map. Although Kawhi’s Retribution Paladin popped a Shield of Vengeance to absorb damage, it wasn’t enough as Kungarna was ready with enough burst to take him down. With this victory, Kungarna achieved a 4-1 score and became the WoW AWC Cross-Region Tournament champions.
