Beyblade Invitational
The global brand Beyblade Burst, famous for physical spinning tops, held its first-ever digital Beymaster Invitational throughout October, pitting 12 popular Beyblade influencers against each other in a one-of-a-kind virtual worldwide competition. Brazil’s Cyprus’s Channel was crowned the ultimate champion, securing the trophy and a $10,000 cash prize.
“In the tournament I faced a number of top-rank opponents,” Cyprus’s Channel said. “I hope that with this victory, Beyblade becomes even more popular in Brazil, and new fans get to have fun with the Beyblade Burst series and the Beyblade Burst App.”
The competition was stiff, featuring a nearly a dozen well-known influencers including OsvarutoBeyz, Beyblade Geeks, Zankye, Ilinnuc, Jp0t, Ninja Kidz TV, Damian & Deion in Motion, Statik Gamer, The Ohana Adventure, Fun with the Bugs, and Paudazzle. Facilitated through the Beyblade Burst app, the Beymaster Invitational featured these top contenders from around the globe who competed in a virtual head-to-head championship using digital versions of Beyblade tops, with eliminations taking place every round. Fans were able to participate at home by casting their votes for their favorite influencer on the Beyblade Burst app.
The competition was streamed live on Master Toy partner Hasbro’s Facebook page, with preliminary battles taking place on October 17th, while the Quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final matches culminated on October 24th. Fans can relive the excitement of this entire championship by watching Part 1 and Part 2 on the Beyblade Burst official Youtube Channel.
