Reply Totem's trio of Brawl Star players went undefeated in the two-day event and were only truly tested in the upper-bracket final when they faced a Tribe Gaming team desperate to avoid a difficult lower-bracket final against SK Gaming.
The tournament was held at Gamescom in Cologne, and German org SK Gaming had the support of a young and boisterous crowd. That support helped the side get an unlikely 3-2 victory against Tribe Gaming, setting them up for the grand final against Reply Totem later that day.
If Reply Totem looked fallible against Tribe Gaming, they soon reminded everyone why they have come to dominate Brawl Stars esports in Europe, with Erik "IDarkJoker" Bravo Granström, in particular, excelling in the mutli-game mode format.
