Clash Royale League 2023 World Finals held in Helsinki, Finland featuring a total of $900,000 as the prize pool. The event started on the 24th of November 2023 and came to an end on the 26th. Besides, two other Supercell titles, Clash of Clans and Brawl Stars, also closed their respective year finale esports events today.
Clash Royale League 2023 World Finals: The champion had to cross a difficult path
Mugi performed very well in the upper bracket matches and won all of them except for the one against Pedro in the Upper Bracket Final. Facing defeat made him go down to the lower bracket where he faced Pandora, a native of his. The all-Japan lower bracket final was taken by Mugi by a scoreline of 2-0. Then, the player went to the grand final to meet his slayer Pedro.
As Mugi went down to the loser bracket, he had to win two grand final rounds. Against all the odds, the player won two consecutive rounds and took the match away. Facing the same opponent that struck him down earlier in the upper round, he came back stronger and proved himself to be the number one player in Clash Royale esports.
Apart from the story that Mugi wrote in the event, the biggest surprise was the defeat of Mohamed Light in the first match of round 1 in the playoffs. The top favorite player was the defending champion and one of the strongest contenders in the event. However, he faced several defeats both in the upper and the lower brackets.
