We’re Entering Pro Flappy Bird! | #TRIBEFLAPPY

Written by Tribe Gaming on . Posted in April Fools. No Comments on We’re Entering Pro Flappy Bird! | #TRIBEFLAPPY

Today, Tribe makes history by being the first-EVER esports organization to sign a professional team in one of the world’s most beloved, skillful, and timeless games – Flappy Bird.

As a professional esports organization, we believe that Flappy Bird represents the pinnacle of competition, mechanics, strategy, innovation, competition, and teamwork in a never-before-seen way. Truly unlike any other mobile title in the world, we believe Flappy Bird is on its way to becoming the world’s number one esports title in the world. Clash Royale who? I don’t know her.

Though there may only be dozens of Flappy Bird players in the world, we believe we’ve brought together the five best of them for #TRIBEFLAPPY. In fact, in the name of our quest to become the best Flappy Bird team in existence, Chief Pat, B-rad, Lex, Kairos, and Rlight will be leaving their Clash Royale and Brawl Stars careers behind to exclusively pursue competitive Flappy Bird – we’re serious about this game, and we strongly believe in its competitive future.

Our players have been training for years to hone their skill at the most difficult game ever known to man, with strict training regimens consisting of hours-long bathroom breaks to play, you guessed it, Flappy Bird. Through strenuous exercises building their strength and dexterity, all of the players on our roster are able to do a hundred pushups with their index fingers alone, and can tap a touchscreen – a core tenet of Flappy Bird’s gameplay – at a remarkable rate of one million taps a minute. Don’t ask us how that’s possible – they’re just that good.

We know the game hasn’t been available in app stores since 2014, but here at Tribe, we don’t let silly barriers like the game not being available in app stores or a lack of competitive Flappy Bird tournaments limit us – we don’t let our dreams be memes.

Qualified for World Championships! | #TRIBECOC

Written by Tribe Gaming on . Posted in Clash of Clans, General, News. No Comments on Qualified for World Championships! | #TRIBECOC

Just earlier this week, we announced that we’d acquired a Clash of Clans pro team, a historic first in the game’s long competitive history. We’re pleased to say that our team’s already made a splash in the competitive scene, as the first team to qualify for the first-ever Clash of Clans World Championship!

Our squad of decorated veterans battled and three-starred their way through pre-qualifiers among thousands of the best Clash of Clans players in the world, to earn their spot at the March Katowice Offline Qualifiers for a shot at the $1 million prize pool.

From there, they traveled to Katowice, Poland to compete against seven other top teams and cemented their spot in the semifinals after a cutthroat group stage. After an incredible last-second 3-star from our captain, Itzu, against blaze.JP, we were off to the playoff finals, against DK 2nd Brigade, where we defeated them in a well-fought best of three series!

We’re hyped the first team to punch our ticket to the ESL One World Finals, and we can’t wait to see the competition unfold at the Clash of Clans World Champions in October, where the eight best teams in the world will be competing for guts and glory. We’ve already made history, and we don’t plan on stopping!

Tribe Enters Clash of Clans—Welcome, #TRIBECOC!

Written by Tribe Gaming on . Posted in Clash of Clans, News. No Comments on Tribe Enters Clash of Clans—Welcome, #TRIBECOC!

Today, we’re pleased to announce our entry into competitive Clash of Clans!

Clash of Clans, developed by mobile gaming giant Supercell, is one of the most acclaimed mobile titles of all time. Since its release in 2012, it has developed a huge following and maintains a passionate competitive scene. The first-ever Clash of Clans World Championship is set for this October, with an incredible $1 million in prize money up for grabs!

Our team’s sure to be a top contender for the crown. We’ve acquired team Dark Looters, the most decorated team in Clash of Clans’ history. Our five-member roster, made up of eVe Cech, eVe MAXI, Sebix, mudtke, and led by Itzu, will be competing in the Clash of Clans World Championship qualifiers as the #1 seed this March 29th-31st.

“We are grateful for the opportunity and excited to be one of the first clans to take this step into Clash of Clans esports.”

– iTzU

We’re beyond excited to have this team represent us competitively in one of our longtime favorite mobile games, and we’re chomping at the bit to be the first-ever Clash of Clans World Champions.

“My career in gaming all started because of one game – Clash of Clans. To be able to return to my roots by bringing Dark Looters to the Tribe is a dream come true! While I won’t be making an appearance on stage anytime soon, I’ll be fiercely rooting for these guys as they make their way to the Clash of Clans World Championship.”

– Chief Pat, Tribe Gaming CEO

World Champions! | Vainglory

Written by Tribe Gaming on . Posted in News, Vainglory. No Comments on World Champions! | Vainglory

#TRIBEVG | We are your WESG Vainglory World Champions!

The Tribe’s insanely proud to say that our Vainglory squad overcame all adversity to take home the WESG Vainglory World Championship title for the USA, making us the first-ever two-time Vainglory World Champions!

Ever since our first taste of glory when we conquered the competition at the 2017 Vainglory World Finals in Singapore, we’ve been hungry to take the world stage again and prove our skills against the best teams around the world. Our roster was made up of Chuck (midlaner), Gabevizzle (support), Hami (top lane), Oldskool (botlane), and of course, ttigers (jungle).

Since our national win in October, we grinded endlessly as the American Vainglory representatives in Chongqing, China at the WESG Grand Finals last week.

Following a tough loss to our long-time Korean rivals, Team Ace, in the group stages, we came back to defeat both Hunters, the Chinese representatives, and the Japanese team GGNEWtyge2nd, to earn our place in the semifinals. With us in the top 4 teams were Team Impunity (Singapore), Team Sly (Germany), and of course, Team Ace.

Our team swept Team Sly in the semifinals 2-0, after a dramatic last push. From then on, we braced ourselves to face Team Ace in a climactic confrontation for the ages.

Tribe’s had a long history with Team Ace, as both competitors on the Rise and friends offline. They were our opponents in the Grand Finals of our first World Championship, where we defeated them 4-1. We faced them yet again last December in the VPL World Invitational, where we suffered a loss at their hands and were eliminated from the competition.

This time, things were different. At the historic Chongqing Olympic Stadium, we faced off against Ace for the third time. Despite a seemingly close start to game one, Team Tribe took the game in 27 minutes after a dramatic teamwipe. Game two played out a little differently—an aggressive mid-game push for the Vain Crystal amidst the chaos gave us the 2-0 sweep against Team Ace in 15 minutes, winning us the World Championship title!

Watch the VOD of our historic WESG Vainglory World Championship win here!

We’re ecstatic to have brought home the Vainglory World Champion title back home to North America. Vainglory is where Tribe started, and we can’t wait to defend the title against the competition next Vainglory Worlds. #TRIBEWIN

Written by Tribe Gaming on . Posted in Clash Royale, News.

Tribe Gaming has opted to terminate the contracts of Ian “Oxalate” Smith and Joao Victor Soares “King Joao” do Nascimento.

Oxalate and King Joao have been cornerstones of Tribe Gaming Clash Royale for the past Clash Royale League season, and their impacts on the Tribe have been immeasurable, including Oxalate being signed as Tribe Gaming’s first professional Clash Royale player.

Joao is truly a hard worker with an immense will to win at all costs, and Ox holds a special place in Tribe history as our first ever Clash Royale pro player. While we were unsuccessful in our mission to dominate the region last year, we’re fully committed to building a dominating roster in 2019, and we’re excited to reveal our full team as we approach the start of Season 2.”
