DAYBREAK GAMES CROWNS WINNERS OF THE INAUGURAL H1Z1 INVITATIONAL AT TWITCHCON

Ninja and MrGrimmmz Claim Top Prize Against Twitch’s Biggest Stars

SAN FRANCISCO – Sept. 28, 2015 – Daybreak Games has declared Twitch personalities Ninja and MrGrimmmz as the victors of its first-ever H1Z1 Invitational at TwitchCon this weekend. The two champions received $19,932 apiece, with the rest of the $173,320 overall prize pool distributed incrementally between the remaining top 10 finishers.

Tyler Blevins aka Ninja – a former Halo world champion – hails from Illinois and has been streaming games on Twitch for about three years, boasting over 100,000 followers. MrGrimmmz, from California, had logged more H1Z1 Battle Royale matches than any of the other participants in the last few months, with his viewers having watched him play more than 20,000 minutes of H1Z1.

The H1Z1 Invitational consisted of two standard Battle Royale matches, with half of the prize money split among the top 10 finishers of game one and the other half divided among the top 10 finishers of game two. With no repeats in the top 10, Ninja and MrGrimmmz faced different opponents in the final fight – Ninja overcame well-known League of Legends broadcaster Trick2g while MrGrimmmz won an exciting shotgun shootout with JoshOG. The H1Z1 Invitational was MrGrimmmz’s first tournament and Ninja’s first PC tournament.

The H1Z1 Invitational pitted more than 55 of Twitch’s most popular broadcasters, including LIRIK, Sodapoppin, summit1g, LegendaryLea, and Towelliee, against one another in PLAYERUNKNOWN’s Battle Royale, the nail-biting last-man-standing mode found in the zombie survival game H1Z1. They were joined by four players chosen from the H1Z1 community through Daybreak’s Road to TwitchCon competition. One player also earned a seat in the Invitational on-site, winning the Qualification Championship Battle Royale the day before the tournament.

The vast majority of the prize pool was fueled by community purchases of the H1Z1 Invitational Crate Key, which offered players exclusive in-game emotes, skins and more. Over 140,000 concurrent viewers tuned in to Twitch to watch the triumph and heartbreak of the H1Z1 Invitational unfold live.

ARK: SURVIVAL EVOLVED EXPANDS WITH THE OPENING OF TWO NEW BIOMES – SURVIVORS CLAIM NEW TERRITORY NOW

Explore the Swamp and Snow Regions Now Open on the Island, With New Creatures the Beezlebufo Gigantic Frog, Dire Wolf, Megaloceros, and more!

The world of ARK: Survival Evolved is ever evolving and today the island expanded with two massive new biomes opening up – the “Swamp” and the “Snow” regions. These areas include new creatures and items appropriate for each extreme climate, and existing creatures have been moved into their new area-specific homes. Players who have not yet experienced the epic survivor-adventure that is ARK can now get it on the Humble Store for the the best limited-time sale price to date of $19.99 (33% off standard price).

Download the new ARK “Swamps and Snow Biomes” trailer HERE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMyB32Nv_2g

First, Survivors will encounter the “Swamp,” a fetid, hazy, waterlogged expanse filled with prehistoric snakes, gators, bugs, piranhas, and the all-new “Beezlebufo” gigantic frog, which players can ride to vault over obstacles with huge leaps. Poisonous plants abound in the Swamp, but trudging through the muck is worthwhile due to the unique plant life that can be harvested for advanced recipes.

Courageous Survivors can then head to the “Snow” zone, where they will need to quickly don bulky fur armor to insulate themselves from the subzero temperatures. But the cold weather is not the only thing that Survivors will need to watch out for in this Snow zone: vicious “Dire Wolves” roam wild acros these lands, looking for their next meal. However, when tamed, a Dire Wolf can serve as a powerful, incredibly fast mount, useful for hunting down the elegant Megaloceros “Stags” that also call this zone home. High quality resources are plentiful among the harsh natural beauty of the frozen wastes.

New Furniture items to decorate homes and bases in these new biomes is now available. Intrepid Survivors should rush to lay claim to these expanded territories before competing Tribes do. Good luck!
