Blitz Team Battle Saw Fireworks
Bushwick Chess and friends spent Sunday battling out over the board.
Nine teams took to the board Sunday in an epic eight round robin blitz match, seeing 45 players battle it out at Bushwick’s BrookLAN Esports Lounge. After the dust settled, one team emerged undefeated to take home first place. Cinco Ganadoras, composed of Rey Ramos, Nile Smith, Michael Parris, Willy Edgard, and Gabriel Leibowitz saw few losses through the day to achieve 8.5 of 9 match points.
The final match points saw Team Canada (And Those Who Support Their Lifestyle) take second place with 7 points, while Cinco De Queso took home a respectable third place with 6.5 of 9 points. Full Standings can be found below:
