HellRaisers crowned Wargaming.Net 2015 Champions!
Over the weekend in Polland, Wargaming held the Expo XXI, where 12 teams battled it out to win a portion of $300,000
“This event left us speechless,” said Mohamed Fadl, Global Head of eSports at Wargaming. “We knew that the top teams have a huge fan base but to see tens of thousands of them joining us to watch their stars play for the world championship was truly breathtaking. We have a new world champion, and we saw so many big surprises during these two days. This is just the beginning of a long journey for all of us, and we can’t wait for the next The Grand Finals to be even bigger and better.”
In the end it was the HellRaisers who won out, with the team defeating 2014 champions Na’Vi in the semifinals before a comprehensive victory over Chinese team, El Gaming in the Grand Final, 7:1.
“It’s been the best, most significant tournament for HellRaisers,” said Yuriy Buharov, Manager of HellRaisers. “The competition was both stressful and exhilarating. We gave our all, fought tooth and nail, and won! The work Wargaming has done to organize an event this massive at such a quality level impressed all of us. Tournaments like The Grand Finals push the entire eSports industry forward, bringing it closer to popular real life sports of today, and it's great being a part of this revolutionary trend.”
