The 5 Best Players From The Gamers8 Rocket League Tournament

5. Daniel

Name: Daniel "Daniel" Piecenski

Born: December 5, 2006

Team: Spacestation Gaming

Okay, don't hate us for this one. We know SSG didn't get as far as they wanted, but they actually did make a pretty deep run. And we think a lot of that was thanks to Daniel. He might not be the flashiest player in the world, but he's incredibly reliable. Also, we're blown away by how much he's achieved already for such a young player. | © Daniel via Twitter

4. FirstKiller

Yep, that is Daniel next to FirstKiller (FirstKiller is pretty tall)

Name: Jason "FirstKiller" Corral
Born: December 19, 2004
Team: FaZe Clan

FaZe have always known how to pick the right players, no matter the esport. They've made another great choice by picking up FirstKiller, who helped get them through to the semi-finals. We were closing to giving the 4th place to FirstKiller's teammate AYYJAYY, but we think FK just about edged him out. | © FirstKiller via Twitter

3. Trk511

Name: Mohammed "trk511" Alotaibi

Born: July 26, 2005

Team: Falcons

Trk511 is the best player in MENA, and I will die on that hill. Hence, he won the RLCS MENA MVP last year. Trk511 is a local Saudi player, who was definitely the audience favorite during Gamers8. He made his whole region proud, and took the Falcons further in the tournament than anyone could have expected. | © Gamers8

2. Crr

Name: Cristian "crr" Fernandez

Born: September 5, 2005

Team: Guild Esports

Crr played phenomenally all weekend and earned Guild Esport a wild amount of money, but in the very final match of the tourney it came down to crr vs. our MVP in a 1v1. Sadly, crr just couldn't quite bring enough to win, but he no doubt has a very bright future ahead of him. | © Gamers8

1. Yanxnz

Name: Yan "yanxnz" Xisto Nolasco

Born: August 10, 2004

Team: FURIA Esports

Our tournament MVP has to be yanxnz. Yanxnz is a Brazilian player that was basically unmatched in skill throughout the entire event. He simply could not be beaten in 1v1s, and that's a huge part of the reason his team won. GG yanxnz we can't wait to see you back at it soon! | © Gamers8
