It all comes down to this. Six regional finalists square off in this year’s 2018 NHL Gaming World Championship for a chance at the $50,000 grand prize and ultimate bragging rights.
The final stage of the 2018 NHL Gaming World Championship will be held at Esports Arena Las Vegas at Luxor Hotel and Casino, pitting the top EA SPORTS NHL18 players from around the world against one another.
In a round-robin style final, the Final features both the winner and runner-up from the regional tournaments for the U.S., Canada and Europe.
John “JohnWayne90” Casagranda (U.S. winner) and David “JrPens91” Roebuck represent the U.S.; Nicola “FoolX90” Bruna (Canada winner) and Matthew “YungGren” Grenier represent Canada; and Arttu “Artuzio” Mustila (Europe winner) and Erik “I_Eki_I” Tammenpää represent Europe for the Final, which kicks off June 19 at 4 p.m. ET.
Nicola comes in on a tear; he’ll be hard to beat at this year’s Championship.
