For the first time, a Digitec Playground final took place live in front of an audience. Visitors to the Herofest got to see spectacular "Rocket League" matches.
Last weekend, gaming, cosplay and fantasy fans from all over Switzerland made the pilgrimage to Bern to be part of the fifth edition of Herofest. As every year, there were first-class e-sports competitions to watch on the large Mainstage.
A tight box in the pro final
In the Pro Final, "mYinsanity" and "Les Carbes Germanophones" faced each other on the main stage. The match was played in "best of five" mode - the first to get three victories wins
.
For "mYinsanity", these crazy car footballers took to the virtual battlefield:
"Les Carbes Germanophones" represented French-speaking Switzerland with the following riders:
The second game was particularly exciting, in which "Les Carbes Germanophones" were unable to score despite constant high pressure on the opponent's goal and countless top-class chances, and were defeated 2:0. The most goals were scored in the fourth game. In the 4:2 victory of "mYinsanity", both teams went all out on the offensive - accordingly, they neglected their defence.

Unique result at the Grümpi tournament
The Grümpi tournament with casual players was also held on the main stage. The "Rocketeers" competed against the "Humble Eagles". It was also played in "best of five" mode. The highest allowed ranking of the participants for the Grümpi was Platinum III. The current season as well as the peak ranking of the past two seasons were taken into account. "LYSS3R" reached its current ranking only after the qualifications.
For the "Rocketeers", the following players raced across the Mainstage:
- Timo "LYSS3R" Lysser (Diamond I, Division II)
- Timo "Toxi" Dill (Platinum II, Division II)
- Lukas "DrSwissRespect" Hänzi (Gold I, Division IV)
For the "Humble Eagles" these eagles flew to Bern for the final:
The "Rocketeers" saw each other in real life for the first time at the Grümpi finals. The "Humble Eagles", on the other hand, knew each other beforehand and are a relatively well-rehearsed "Rocket League" team. Accordingly, they have taken on a slight favourite role in the run-up to the final.
After an unsuccessful start with a 1:5 defeat, the "Rocketeers" played on a par with the "Humble Eagles" in the following matches. It was particularly close in the last match, which even went into overtime. Nevertheless, it was not enough for a victory. So the "Humble Eagles" won the Grümpi final with a deserved 3:0 overall result.
