Summoners War, one of the most popular mobile games, held its World Championship in Paris earlier this Fall, and Paste was there.
Summoners War: Sky ArenaThe Summoners War World Arena Championship 2019 was held at the Maison de la Mutualite, an almost 90 year old building that has held all manner of concerts, performances and other events since before World War II. Eight players from around the world vied for their cut of a prize pool valued at $100,000.
Only a handful of players throughout the world are good enough to make it to the world championships, though. Among them is the American known as Tree!—yes, the exclamation point is part of his name. Brian Choi, of Los Angeles, is one of two Americans in the Championship tournament—his rival from the Americas Cup finals, Thompsin, a fellow Los Angeleno and good friend and sparring partner in real life, is also in Paris.
It was the kind of victory that will often carry a team or athlete throughout the rest of the playoffs. Remember the Boston Red Sox of 2004, the team that came back from a 3-0 deficit against the Yankees in the American League Championship Series and won four games in a row, complete with a massive rout in game seven. That Sox squad went on to crush the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series four games to none.finals.
You can’t fault L’Est for not having much to say upon his victory. He was a Chinese citizen on a foreign stage in Paris speaking to an international audience that spoke several disparate languages. He’s massively talented at what is generally a solitary pursuit, and in no way a performer. What he is is the bestplayer on the planet, at least as of right now, in the dying days of this century’s second decade.
