After the first phase of the World Series held in early June, Nicolò “BBlade” Maggi takes a step forward, conquering the European Champion title for the second year in a row, guaranteeing a place at the LAN world finals in London as the only Italian team currently qualified.

Nicolò, together with his trusted teammates Wartex and Savyultras, enter the European Finals of the Call of Duty: Warzone World Series as one of the most feared teams in the continent: $ 150,000 up for grabs and the chance for the Top 15 to reach the coveted live final.

Starting with a bang, the team immediately manages to earn two first places (Battle Royale game mode) which catapult them into the first position in the standings. After the incredible results from last year, the all-Italian trio managed to earn the attention of the entire tournament, becoming the priority target for every player in the lobby. During the third game Savyultras suffered what could be called a real stroke of bad luck: his game disconnects, forcing BBlade and Wartex to play as a duo for the whole match and precluding what could have probably have been a very fast tournament victory for the team. Despite this stumbling block and the attention given to them by the other participants, the boys still managed to pull through, earning a first place finish in the final rankings. The team wins $30,000 in prize money as well as the qualification for both the Trio and SoloYolo finals in London. The final phase of the World Series will be played on September 16th, starring a whopping $ 600,000 which will be split between SoloYolo and Trio modes, both ready to see BBlade as one of the absolute protagonists.

Fabio Cucciari, CEO and Co-founder of Reply Totem, commented: “Another incredible result that we can add to our list of achievements. Nicolò came to Reply Totem and reminded everyone who’s the best Warzone player in the scene. This back-to-back title confirms his skills and talent, something we have had our eyes on for a long time. Now our energies are fully focused on September’s LAN Finals. We’ll be there with him in London to cheer and possibly double up his title count in the name of Reply Totem. A final thanks goes to ASUS Rog for the technical and hardware support provided to Nicolò, such partnership is what best suits international stages like this.”
