The 3 medals:
I'm going to take this opportunity to take stock of these championships, which have been exceptional! We had a record 61 participants! Thank you all for trusting us and playing in our qualifying arenas!
We also had 32 players qualify for the round of 16, which is why the competition stretched into January.
I'd like to thank @SPIRITOF_ASUTRALIA, who streamed many of the duels, including the small final and the final! Here's his youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiritofaustralianimishrau4608
Thanks to @Chris_E_S3 who made the trophies, and to the many clubs who partnered the event! Thanks to you, we were able to get the word out about the championships!
Finally, I'd like to congratulate our three best players of this 2024 Edition, @jackityjackjack, @MistakeEraser and @bandibacsi66, our new World Champion until the next edition!
