Key moments
The first game saw Mr Beast take the win. Although Tyler 1 has a brilliant mind for the bot lane, him and Doublelift could not quite hold it. This left the scores at 37-21 to Mr Beast.
Game two was even worse for Ninja. Suffering from the loss of the first game, morale was at an all-time low. Yassuo and Voyboy carried the game extremely well, perhaps due to Yassuo getting his namesake champion. Yasuo. The score for game two sat at 26-12.
Determined not to be outdone, Ninja called for a bonus match with a third game. And they did not get outdone. ninja managed to pull back the event and went 11-27.
Who took the title?
The winner of the event was team Mr Beast. With a strong start, they steamrolled Ninja and showed fans their strength. Mr Beast won $150,000 and celebrated with a well-earned win.
However, Ninja did not leave empty-handed. The team won the bonus match which means they got a $50,000 stake too. In true Tyler1 fashion, he trash-talked Ludwig at the end of the event.
The whole match won a staggering $200,000 for charity during this Ultimate Crown tournament.
