Amazon’s Champions of Fire Invitational Delivered the Heat; Final Results Are In

Champions of Fire Featured a Thrilling Conclusion 

Amazon’s Champions of Fire Invitational took place over the weekend and featured some of gaming’s biggest influencers duking it out across a myriad of casual mobile titles for a share of a $50,000. I was lucky enough to witness the action live at Time Inc. Studios in New York City and can confirm that the action packed competition was nothing short of thrilling from beginning to end.

Following a nail-biting best of 11 showdown, Yassuo became the 2017 Champion of Fire and took home a whopping $10,000 by outplaying Hafu 6-4. In addition to the main event, charity matches were held to raise money for St. Mary’s Center, American Red Cross, and Paws for a Cause. Matches between Hafu, DJ R3hab, Maria Ho, Gassy Mexican, and Ali Nejad managed to pull in $750 for St. Mary’s Center, $500 for American Red Cross, and $250 for Paws for a Cause.
