The First Official EVO Championship

We head into Killer Instinct at EVO with Carnitas and Daa Chronicle both looking to finish the story and end the Ultra Tour as the champion. Both of them started out hot making it to the winners side of top 16 but as Daa Chronicle found his way into top 6 in the winners side his team mate Carnitas had to enter through the losers side.

Top 6 started off with both of the LAGr boys taking down legendary player Bass as they move on in the bracket, on the losers side we saw Carnitas face the musician known as NotAlexV where his road ended at 4th overall.

On the other side of the bracket we saw Daa Chronicle face an opponent who he plays weekly in UAW, Roman22s. After some close games it was Aria who came out on top and sent us to the grand finals, later to once again play against Roman22s. In a last game last hit scenario Daa Chronicle takes the win and is crowned EVO 2024 KI Champion securing LAGr Gaming’s first ever EVO Championship.

This weekend we also saw the team at Diesel Legacy host it’s 2nd tournament in front of the massive crowds at EVO 2024. Argen and Triumph headed out to compete and defend their CEO 2024 title and in dominated fashion the duo took it all and once again secured a good portion of the $2,500 prize pool.
