GTOR) Announces Management Report for the Week Ended December 4, 2021 - Seite 2

In an unexpected twist of events, the longest game of the tournament was a mirror match of mono-white aggro. Usually, aggro mirrors end pretty quickly; with both players getting land flooded, it took quite a while for one player to finally earn an advantage and close out the game. Fans particularly enjoyed watching the Orzov control deck featuring the passive ability of Lolith, as well as Edgar, Charmed Groom, creating an endless loop of producing tokens over time to build an overwhelming advantage, and the army of Tokens ultimately paved the path to the top 4! In the grand finals, mono-white was able to fulfill its destiny, defeating the Izzet Epiphany deck and enabling Merked 456 to claim the title of GGToor MTG Arena Champion!

Also, this weekend's Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links event featured the debut of a new meta! The former best deck, Harpies, took a big hit with the most recent ban list, shaking up the meta, and leaving many players scrambling to figure out the new "best deck" in the format. Though several players still experimented with Harpies and saw some degree of success, many more players fell back on Melodious, a deck that often fought for the title of "2nd best" tournament deck last meta. The swarm of Melodious proved too much for the two-time GGtoor x DLE winning deck, Destiny HERO, to manage - but Water Xyz and Gaia kept pace. When the dust settled, Melodious, Water Xyz, and Gaia took 5 of the Top 8 spots.

The big spotlight however went to the newly released Cyber Dragon Xyz deck. Kitos defied all odds to not only be the ONE Cyber Dragon player out of 17(!) to make Top 64, but to also continue the march all the way to the grand finals! The audience was shocked to see Kitos take down a gauntlet of Melodious, which is considered to have a heavy advantage against his deck. Unfortunately, Kitos's Cinderella story ended at the hands of Magnets, earning Ramon R. the championship!

The future of eSports will largely be mobile, which will further reduce barriers for mobile-first countries and mobile-first audiences, allowing even more gamers and fans to pour in. The core gamers are typically defined as players being between the ages of 18–35, mostly male, and mobile gaming is set to make up 45% of the total global games market in 2021. But the equalizer is mobile games because they bring a skew of more female gamers to the equation, 63% female in fact, and this includes the mobile hyper casual and casual gamers segment. With the emergence of more female, casual gamers playing in competitive games, the industry looks poised for a more inclusive future, and thus, a much bigger market to reach. Banking on these trends in the industry will give GGtoor a leg up in bringing more participants to our platform to play; we believe that total inclusion is the future.
