In maart was er het Storm Championship seizoen 1, die een prijs van 15000 euro uitreikte. Deze competitie eindigde 2 weken geleden in de ESL studio (Cologne) waar de Grand Finale plaatsvond. Hier deden de 16 beste Storm spelers over heel de wereld aan mee. De prijs is uiteindelijk gegaan naar de oostenrijkse “Sannin-Slaya”.
“I really enjoyed this event! I wanted to thank Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe for organizing this tournament, and I also want to thank all the people who helped me become better at the game! First, my family for cheering me up, this was so nice! I also want to thank my friends who taught me the basics. And of course, thank to Joe, Delta and Dan, my awesome team mates!” Zei Sannin-SLaya
This first season Grand Finals had been a real success thanks to the STORM community who proved once again its strength and the growing enthusiasm around these kind of events.
“During the past few years we saw the growth of the Storm community in Europe, Middle-East and Australasia. With the STORM Championship Season 1 we really wanted to thank and reward this community. This project allows us to gather STORM fans around a new type of event and to expand the brand to a whole new level of entertainment.” zie Hervé Hoerdt, Vice President van Marketing & Digital bij BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe.
Door dit succes zuller er meer van dit soort evenementen in de toekomst plaatsvinden zegt Bandai Namco.
