The July Open results are in!
If you aren't up to speed, Gwent is a turn-based card game featured in the Witcher novels and it's a playable mini-game in The Witcher III. Played between two players, each game takes three rounds, with each player must play one card each turn from a deck of twenty-five to forty cards. The goal is to win two of three rounds by playing cards and spells to gain points called "power" on the board. A player wins a round by having more points on board than their opponent. Rounds end when either both players pass to the next round, or when both players run out of cards. The first to win two out of three rounds wins the game.
GWENT has really caught on, with CD Projekt Red holding a series of tournaments, and July has its winner, one Benjamin "kolemoen" Pfannstiel.
Some of the best GWENT players from around the world played in the sixth GWENT Open tournament last weekend, fighting for shares of the $25,000 prize pool and GWENT Masters Crown Points, with both finalists — Benjamin "kolemoen" Pfannstiel and Oleksandr "proNEO3001" Shpak — also having secured spots in the next GWENT Challenger.
