The World Finals is a prestigious invite-only tournament where top-tier players from around the globe gather and claim the title of being the best player of their respective games. This year, the tournament was bigger than before, with a grand total of 170 players taking part. With their pride on the line, the players fought for the title of World Champion, which also earned them a sponsored invitation to the next World Finals taking place the following year to defend their title.
Bushiroad Spring Fest 2020 will soon follow, with major Regional Championships coming up in March. With its expanding playerbase, the explosive growth of Bushiroad’s Trading Card Games is expected to continue its upward trend in attendance numbers.
