Winner of Hogeman Speedrun Tournament Tesla Edition Goes Home with $55,000

Published

Virtual Pangea’s Discord channel was overflowing with excitement and adrenaline on Saturday, April 23, when ten players were competing live in Hogeman game Battle Royale grand finale for a Tesla Model 3 or $55,000 worth of Eth.

The three-hour event – hosted live on Youtube by Youmuus and streamed on Twitch by Lauren Burch – was the triumphal end to the Virtual Pangea’s three-month-long Hogeman Speedrun Tournament Tesla Edition, with the ten winners taking home $63.000 worth of prizes.

It was a true nail-biter of a race viewed by over 6,000 people, watching Bartek Polak (@Light1323) from Poland, winning the grand prize with an overall speed run game record time of 24 minutes and 10 seconds.

“The experience was amazing! As I was beating my previous scores, I felt nostalgia, adding the smallest details to improve by just milliseconds”, said Polak, the winner of the tournament. “Hogeman is fun to play, as long as you keep exploring and developing new strategies. I was nervous during the live event, but the fact that each of the ten players were winners of Virtual Pangea prizes made me just go for it and do my best…and it worked!”

Competition was tight, with second runner-up, Antons Fridrihs (@Thesviborg), Latvia, finishing with 24 minutes and 37 seconds and winning $3,000 worth of USDC, followed by PhD in Physics graduate Harley Rutherford (@MoodyTornado), Australia, finish third place with only a 10 second difference and a prize of $2,000 worth of USDC.

“Well done to all ten competitors for their game and their comradery. Our hard work of making this final event an enjoyable and thrilling experience for our audience and Hogeman Club members has paid off,” commented Dani Chear, CEO at Virtual Pangea. “We’re pleased with the outcome, seeing the social platforms attendance and interactions, the friendships that were made and the level of preparation and strategy the contestants had to put in when playing Hogeman.”

The Speedrun Tournament – Tesla Edition, started in the middle of January 2022, when Hogeman Club NFT owners got an exclusive invite to invest in one of the unique NFTs in the collection and try their skills at speed running through nine levels, while fighting one evil crypto boss at a time. The ten best times on the leaderboard, announced at the end of the tournament on April 15, qualified for Battle Royale.

Between April 15-23, the “fantastic ten” had a warm-up week to complete all nine levels and play their best times. On the day of Battle Royale each player had 10 minutes to beat the mighty InfluencerX boss in level nine, with the entire world watching them do this live.

The Speedrun Tournament Tesla Edition is the first in a series of Hogeman tournaments that aims to bring together 2D indie gaming powered by Web3 technology. Being the owner of one of the 760 NFTs in the Hogeman Club collection opens a world of possibilities and pre-events promotions that will include future gaming Hogeman tournaments.
