SportsGamers, In mid-May we hosted the 2023 eHockey Finnish Championship Finals in a Sunny Tampere together with the Finnish Ice Hockey Association. The weather was perfect all weekend long and participants got to enjoy gaming in a very special environment at Keskustori right in the city center. The IIHF World Championships generated lots of attraction and the entire city was having an ice hockey carnival. At the end of the weekend, we had crowned two new Champions in the form of Teemu @temppanen Karvonen (1v1) and NHL 19 Allstars (6v6). Check out all of the action in the aftermovie below!
