Written by Tribe Gaming on . Posted in Clash of Clans, News. Leave a Comment

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

#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

Tribe Gaming is excited to announce our official partnership with Secretlab, our new official gaming chair sponsor!

As a mobile gaming organization whose players practice upwards of 8 hours a day, the Tribe couldn’t be happier to partner with Secretlab—their chairs are stress-tested and professional gamer-approved, meaning our players will find a perfect balance of comfort and performance in Secretlab’s line of chairs.

“Mobile gaming is fast becoming a mainstay in esports, and professional mobile gamers also require high-performance equipment as they face the same rigours and demands. We’re proud to be partnering with Tribe Gaming, who showed the world they are one of the top mobile gaming teams when they won the Vainglory Worlds Championship in 2017, just months after their organisation was formed. From today, we’ll equip their mobile gamers with our ultra-comfortable and award-winning chairs to keep them comfortable and focused for their long hours of practice and gaming.”
—Ian Alexander Ang, co-founder and CEO of Secretlab

Our affinity for Secretlab dates back to Tribe Gaming’s breakthrough Vainglory Worlds Championship win in 2017, where we earned the title of World Champions in these very chairs—you could say Secretlab’s our good-luck charm. Our staff and players could not be more excited for this partnership, and we couldn’t imagine a better chair provider to do it with.

“This partnership with Secretlab seemed like destiny after winning the Vainglory World Championship while sitting in their signature chairs. We’re excited to push mobile esports forward alongside Secretlab, and we’re looking forward to winning a number of additional championships in the comfort of their chairs.” – Patrick “Chief Pat” Carney, founder and CEO of Tribe Gaming

Farewell Oxalate & King Joao | Clash Royale

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.

“Parting ways with both Oxalate and King Joao is one of the toughest decision we’ve made here at Tribe – both are consummate professionals, and I expect both to shine on the CRL stage in 2019. 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.”

– Patrick “Chief Pat” Carney, Tribe Gaming CEO & Owner

We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their hard work and dedication to Tribe Gaming throughout the first Clash Royale League season. The Tribe will be eternally grateful for their above-and-beyond contributions to the organization, and we wish them the best in their continued Clash Royale careers.
