Clash Royale’s Crown Championship World Finals Ended with sergioramos:) Taking the Golden Crown

TouchArcade Rating:

The first ever official global esports competition for Clash Royale (Free) had its finals take place in London December 3rd. Eli attended it and you can read some of his thoughts on the production values and experience here. The arena looked mindblowing and the attention to detail was impressive. The event saw 16 players compete for the Golden Crown at the finals and also to win the title of the best Clash Royale player on the planet. There were more than 27 million players in the beginning and the winner received $150,000 out of the $400,000 prize pool. Mexico’s sergioramos:) took the Golden Crown home and secured a spot in Clash Royale history. He defeated USA’s MusicMaster to conclude the massive esports event. Watch the finals on YouTube below:

After winning, sergioramos:) commented on the finals and his Clash Royale experience:

When I first started playing Clash Royale, I was just
doing it for fun, and I never could have imagined making it to this level. There were so many other amazing competitors at the World Finals, and it was an honor to have played with them this weekend.

The finals saw 16 players from 8 regions take part including Coltonw83, MusicMaster, and CMcHugh from USA, loupanji from France, Berin from Germany, Fuchi and Amaterasu from Japan, and more. Given the scale and production values for this event, it is definitely going to be worth keeping an eye on Supercell’s next big esports event for Clash Royale.

      Looks good! Does anyone know if it supports controller?

      Thanks

      1. Milotorou

        Id like to know too

          I buy the game when they put in controller support I tried Minecraft but didn’t like it that much it felt more like a building game and not so much as a game but Portal Knights looks more like a story driven adventure and the combat and the overall look of the game is much more polished and on top of that it is extremely cheap.

      2. Taeles

        No gamevice support so I assume no mifi at all

      Blinking love this game on PS4! Didn’t see this coming. Whatever next? GTA San Andreas? 🙄

      1. boydstr

        GTA San Andreas is already available in the AppStore.

      I'm excited about this. It never came out for Mac, so this will be my first time trying it out.

      1. rezn

        My thoughts exactly. I hate waiting for great PC games to hit Mac. Usually I’ll end up getting a PS4 or Switch version as opposed to trying my patience.

    4. boydstr

      Why is there such a huge price difference between the two versions has it something to do with the license fee they have to pay to the different platform holders or is there another reason?

      1. Eli Hodapp

        It's probably just pricing based on what the platforms can bear. On iOS, anything above $5 is highway robbery. On Switch, where people are still super excited to download new games, they'll have no problem getting $30. It's been out on Steam forever, and had tons of sales, so it's $10-$20 over there. I've heard from a low of developers who are super stoked to get as much stuff on the Switch eShop as possible because people are very willing to spend money on good games instead of writing screeds about how games should only cost a dollar and be updated for eternity.

        1. Montanx HS

          OMG 5$ for a game?!!! That’s criminal! How dare they not adhere to the precedent of 1$ games set 10 years ago! Greedy! Ohh nice, new gem package from clash of flappy candy strike only 200$, lemme get my credit card! Just 1000$ more and I might climb 2 spots on the leaderboard for 15 min!

        2. boydstr

          Thanks for the info.

      2. TouchGameplay

        If you are taking about the switch version then that be a licence fee that Nintendo are taking. Could the same apply for stream as well if they take a cut, and lets not forgot this maybe a water down version compared to the other two (to be conformed by developers)

        1. Eli Hodapp

          All platforms take a pretty similar cut, it's just a normal cost of doing business for developers.

    5. curtneedsaride

      Premium fantasy game port? Why, yes, I think I will. Thanks for porting it over! And thanks, TA, for letting me know.

      1. Milotorou

        If you have an mfi controller let me know if it works with the game, id like to play this on my ipad with my nimbus haha

    6. Jinxtah

      Does it have controller support, and why do we always have to drag this out of the news stories :o

    7. Modjular

      Oh man, I was hyped for dragon quest builder 2 to come to switch, this seems to do all that and more 😍

      1. curtneedsaride

        I've got DQB on my Vita. Now that's one I wish we could have ported to mobile. Just can't build in a meeting at work with the Vita in my hands. Maybe this will scratch that itch.

    8. Taeles

      Hey Eli you mentioned world size being different. Which has larger worlds? iOS or switch?

      1. Eli Hodapp

        I've yet to hear back from the devs but the iOS description specifically mentions smaller world sizes on older devices. Hopefully will have more details soon.

      Bought this game & no controller support plus touch screen controls are a pain especially with the crouch roll feature just haven’t been able to get fully into it ...
      I will say the events can be brought back by changing your date on your system for Dec 25/October 31 etc to do pass events.
      Offline play which is good ..
      I found being a Mage is way easier ..
