A Historic First Battle
At the end of the intense two days of competition, only two titans of the local Axie Infinity community stood tall, the crafty Jobols Gaming and wily magician of Axie Infinity Lunatic.
The best of five Grand Finals match started off with Lunatic jumping out to 2-0 lead on Jobols thanks to Lunatic’s Bird, Mech and Plant lineup explosively bursting down Jobol’s Bug, Bug, Aqua in the first round and a crucial numbing sensation lockdown in the second round.
Despite the intense blitz by Lunatic taking Jobols to the brink of elimination, the latter kept his composure, refusing to go silently into the night and clinching a crucial game 3 with a DRAW as both players fell to the Bloodmoon Curse.
Evidently, that would be the spark of hope that Jobols needed as he proceeded to shift into a Plant, Aqua Mech lineup and bring it all the way back to a 2-2, tying up the series.
Poetically, It would come down to one last round to decide the epic Grand Finals Matchup. In the final round, Jobols went with a Plant, Reptile and Dusk lineup going against Lunatic’s Plant Mech, Bird. Once again, it would be Lunatic jumping out to an early lead, taking down Jobol’s looming fortress of a Plant and leaving his team defenseless. The two traded Axies in Round 4, seeing both Lunatic’s plant and Jobols’ Dusk go down leaving a 2 versus 1 in Lunatic’s favor.
Jobols’ finds another miracle erupting in Rounds 7 and 8, taking down both Lunatic’s Axies with a very literal Last Stand allowing Jobols’ Reptile to be the last Axie standing.
With that epic victory, Jobols Gaming became the very first United Gamers All-Stars Tournament Grand Champion!
