Guns of Boom Esports: Week 4 Results and Stadium Event

Guns of Boom is a cartoon-ish mobile shooter game which at first glance may look like a casual game for casual players. The Android/iOS shooter is exactly that but it has a very high skill cap. The game, in the highest level of competition calls for map awareness, good reflexes, strategic and tactical planning, and most importantly team communication. The game thus has a thriving eSports scene.

The Week 5 Challenger Cup was held last weekend for the four regions which are- NA, EU, SEA and LATAM. The weekly tournament's results will decide which team will represent their specific region at the live event called The Guns of Boom Pro Series which is scheduled on April 6th, 2019 in North America. Each region had a prize pool of $1000 which was divided amongst the top eight teams. The winners for this week's tournament were: NA- Team Force; EU- Unbreakable; LATAM- Brazukas; SEA- IND_Wolves.

There is so far one more Challenger Cup scheduled this weekend. After this, we will be able to see which all teams have been selected for the live event on April.
