Pioneers Advance to Global Competitions After ALGS Split 2 Pro League North American Regional Final

The Pioneers displayed resilience and determination during the ALGS Split 2 Pro League North American Regional Final on July 14. In the six matches, the Pioneers placed 8th in both Match 1 and Match 2, 10th in Match 3, 12th in Match 4, 15th in Match 5, and 13th in Match 6. Overall, the Pioneers secured a 17th-place finish in the Regional Final.

Despite the challenging competition, their cumulative performance has earned them a spot in the ALGS Split 2 Playoffs in Mannheim, Germany. This significant event will be held from August 29 to September 1. Additionally, the Pioneers have qualified for the Esports World Cup, scheduled from July 31 to August 4 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Pioneers are the only North American Challenger Circuit team to qualify for both the Split 2 LAN and the Esports World Cup.

In celebration of these achievements, the Pioneers are launching the KCP x Tripods merchandise capsule, featuring a t-shirt, hoodie, and bucket hat. This is a limited-time pre-order, running until July 26, with orders being shipped in the weeks following the campaign's end. Be sure to grab your merch as we gear up to support our team on the global stage!

Pioneers Secure Spot in 2024 Brawl Stars World Finals

On July 21, the Pioneers showcased their skills in the highly competitive July North America Monthly Qualifier. The team started strong in the Quarterfinals, taking on Reconic Esports Black and winning 3-1. In a nail-biting Semifinals match, the Pioneers faced Elevate and narrowly lost 2-3, ending their impressive run in the finals. The Pioneers finished the competition in 4th place.

Despite this setback, the Pioneers have secured one of the top 2 spots in North America for the season, earning them a coveted place in the 2024 Brawl Stars World Finals. Their outstanding performance throughout the season allows them to bypass the Last Chance Qualifier, which will take place in Germany between August 24-25. This remarkable achievement ensures that the Pioneers will be competing on an international stage later this year.

Please join us in congratulating our team on their successful season as they prepare for the Championship. Their hard work, dedication, and exceptional teamwork have truly paid off. Let's continue to support and cheer on the Pioneers as they aim for glory in the 2024 Brawl Stars World Finals!
