Here is the resolution of the match of all matches: The Punishers vs. Curly Riders .
14.9.2022
The first qualifier of digitec Playground Vol. 8 starts on Saturday with "Rocket League". But first you'll want to know who won the real-life duel between The Punishers and Curly Riders. Here is the resolution.
Instead of playing on a PC or console, we moved our "Rocket League" duel to the skate hall. And instead of controllers, we used remote controls. We used them to send our pimped RC buggies into the race.
Team "The Punishers" consists of Simon Balissat and the e-sport pro Lukas "Zaphare" Jakober. Together with Riyan "Nuke" Alfred, I form the team "Curly Riders". The game is played according to slightly modified "Rocket League" rules. The first team to achieve two victories wins. A round lasts five minutes. If there is a tie, the game continues with the golden goal. This means that the next goal is decisive. You can see how it all went down in the video.

Philipp.Rueegg@digitecgalaxus.chAs a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
