Contest combining the schoolyard favourite and gaming elements saw more than 40 creators battle for the coveted trophy in Dusseldorf.
Combining the classic ball game dodgeball with gaming elements to present a unique and innovative tournament, Red Bull Gameball Royale saw more than 40 creators in four teams engage in fierce throwing battles to take home the champions’ trophy inside the Castello Düsseldorf in Germany. Here is all you need to know:
– In addition to streamers, YouTubers and other personalities from the digital creator scene, Red Bull athletes like freerunner Jason Paul, snowboarder Leon Vockensperger, kayaker Adrian Mattern and wakeboarder Dominik Gührs also got in on the dodgeball action. They joined teams Rewinside, Papaplatte, Amar and Honeypuu to compete on the interactive LED playing field in front of 2,500 spectators.
– Alongside the the LED pitch, another innovation was the addition of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) from AGON by AOC. Each team captain had the chance to use this technical aid once per match to confirm the referee’s decision.
– In the end, only one team was able to secure the coveted Red Bull Gameball Royale title, Team Rewinside, featuring Mooo, Marc Eggers, Let’s Hugo, Julia Beautx, Inscope 21, Aditotoro and Adrian Mattern.
-After eight matches, the team triumphed in the final against Team Amar that featured Sidney, Breitenberg, Abu Goku, Starletnova, Chefstrobel, Rohat and Jason Paul.
– Another highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Golden LIKE Nugget Award for the tournament’s MVP, candidates for which were nominated by not only the team captains, but also the referees. In an online vote between Honeypuu, Juliabeautx, Ediz and Mooo, Team Rewinside’s Juliabeautx scooped the award.
