The Digitec Playground final featured "Apex Legends" action at the highest level. You can find an overview of all the results here.
A total of 456 players took part in the Digitec Playground Cup Vol. 9 qualifiers. Only the best 60 were able to qualify for the final
Two separate tournaments were played in the final - Grümpi and Pro. The maximum rank for the Grümpi tournament was Platinum IV. All players above Platinum IV had to take part in the Pro tournament.
Both tournaments were played in battle royale mode in trios. Five matches were played in each of the two final tournaments. When awarding points, not only the ranking in the matches but also the kill count was taken into account.
The final was broadcast on Twitch and Youtube.
The whole thing was commented on by our casters and "Apex Legends" experts aRTycH and Chrigi.
Here you can watch the broadcast in full length. The Grümpi tournament starts at 0:21:18 and the Pro tournament starts at 3:53:41.
Bitter battle for third place in the Grümpi tournament
The standard in the Grümpi tournament was very high. In the end, the team "verswinden Sie .4ers" came out on top with 64 points. They won due to their high kill count - the team scored 35 of the 64 points with kills. The team scored the most points in the second game, where they took first place with 18 (!) kills. "verswinden .4ers" are delighted to receive three Digitec vouchers worth CHF 200.
"Swiss Guard" took second place with 57 points. They were better placed overall than the winning team, but "only" managed 27 kills. The team will receive three Digitec vouchers worth CHF 150.
There was great drama in the battle for third place. "Hasbulla Gaming" came out on top with 46 points, just ahead of "SCB_Casual". The fourth-placed team scored 45 points, narrowly missing out on a place on the podium. "Hasbulla Gaming" receives three Digitec vouchers worth CHF 150 for third place.
Two of the twenty Grümpi teams played the final on site at the MYI office in Zurich. "Lieber eini Nudle als zwei Teigware" finished the tournament in 13th place and "MIR KAUFE BIER MITEM GWÜNN!!!!" in 18th place. Player Basti from the beer team explained the poor performance in an interview with the unfamiliar game situation. The team had never played offline together. The team also missed their own hardware and their usual setup.

Pro tournament: "Apex Legends" matches at the highest level
The pro tournament saw even more spectacular and faster matches. No wonder, as the majority of the participants were "Masters" and "Apex Predators" players - the two highest ranks in "Apex Legends".
The "SMP" team played consistently well. They secured a total of three back-to-back-to-back victories and 37 kills. This puts them in first place. The team members can look forward to Digitec vouchers worth CHF 400.
Team "ACD" came in second place. They also got a lot of kills, but scored lower in the ranking. For second place, there are three Digitec vouchers worth CHF 250 each.
The "Aim Assist Enjoyers" narrowly secured third place in the last match. Third to seventh place were separated by just nine points at the end. The Aim Assist fans are delighted to receive three Digitec vouchers worth CHF 150 each.
Two teams also played the final of the pro tournament on site at the MYI office. "Asado Y Vino" finished in twelfth place and "SIRX ESPORTS" made it to eighth place. In an interview, Steelio from "Asado Y Vino" commented on his team's mediocre performance. The team played well in the first two games. Then they made silly mistakes in the third game. In addition, the setup - especially the small screen - took some getting used to for his team members.
