(Video) Chak wins EPIC 10-Hour Tournament in grueling Showdown with Sean Wrona!

[pphanfx]

Hail 10FastFingers citizens,

History was made on Feb 2 in the largest Esport Typing Tournament in many years, with a prize pool of ~$2000 and a live stream viewer count of 270 max. It was a grueling and exhausting battle of the ages (literally). The age discrepancy between the youngest and oldest competitors was nearly 30 years, and you couldn't tell just from watching the typing. It pitted the upcoming Nitrotype Generation against the elites of 10FF and Typeracer - and we were not disappointed. Ultimately, the advantages of youth may have been a deciding factor.

Full Stream video

The 16-year-old Chak fought back from 3 grueling sets down to wear down an exhausted Sean Wrona at 3:30am EST and claim the Championship. The viewing audience reached nearly 200 live viewers and averaged ~140. The final battle could have gone either way and both finalists should be proud.

Winners:

1. Chak: X-Bows Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard PLUS $100 cash, Das Keyboard 5Q smart
2. Sean Wrona: X-Bows Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard, Spacecat Designs $125 VISA Card
3. Mako: X-Bows Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard, £50 Gift coupon from Mechboards.co.uk

5. Sidd: Das Keyboard 5Q Smart, Typeracer Premium 12-month
6. Eikomaniac: Das Keyboard 5Q Smart, Typeracer Premium 12-month
7. Leonidas: Das Keyboard 5Q Smart

Multiple prize winners were also in the audience, as we gave out 8 Keyboards!

Thanks for your effort in first place i would love to participate but as a non english native speaker I will just simply loose against you guys! If you need more people to participate let me know thought I would enter in this case! But therefore i would rather let the people participate that are native english tongues or capable of typing 170+ wpm in not their native language.

cheers

Bornzor! You are more than welcome to bring some German firepower and of course Nico will mention you are competing in a SECOND language which is no less impressive. In fact, we *may* have one competitor from Germany (competitors revealed in a couple of days). In our e-sport network community there are some European legends, despite English not being their first language. In any case, please tune into the stream for fun, and there is a giveaway to one random stream member.

Thank you Bonzor for representing Europe. This will tell the sponsors and the viewers that our sport is needed around the world.
Everybody who applies and is accepted (announced 1/27) will receive a confirmation email (please make sure a usable email was used and double-check SPam folder). Nico and staff are reviewing signups and screening racer TR profiles for qualification.
DISCORD IS MANDATORY so event staff can issue assignments to racerooms.
A Mandatory Check-In time will be imposed so we can start as promptly as possible.

[bORNZOR]
