Hey everyone!
Here’s a short recap of the 2022 world championship cycle.
The 2022 Racing Kings WC was played between June 27 and September 27, with a total of 45 players battling it out in a new format. This is a slight decline after the incredible increase from 34 to 54 players last year.
The 2022 Final between the top seed and world champion @CyberShredder, and second seed @IMakeManyMistakes was played on October 27, 17:30 UTC. After playing for nearly 2,5 hours, @IMakeManyMistakes came out on top in the RKWC Final with a score of 11 - 9. Congratulations to our new world champion!
