Get Ready for the ECL '24: Spring - 1v1 Grand Finals!

The pinnacle of European eHockey is upon us as the ECL '24: Spring - 1v1 Grand Finals approach. The Grand Finals feature the best players from the ECL '24: Winter & Spring seasons competing in the NHL 24 Online Versus game mode.

The ECL 1v1 series has seen fierce competition throughout the Winter and Spring seasons, with top players battling for supremacy. The Grand Finals represent the final stage of the competition, where only one player will emerge as the champion. This event is not just about the glory of victory but also about the journey, the rivalries, and the unforgettable moments that have led us here.

Meet the Players

The ECL '24 year has not disappointed us, featuring incredible talent and nail-biting games. Erik @Eki Tammenpää, has consistently demonstrated his skill and resilience and proved himself by winning the ECL '24: Winter Championship and the constant success in the NHL Gaming World Championships, finishing in the TOP 4 this year. Väinö @Pikkarii Pikkarainen, the Spring champion, has risen through the ranks with exceptional skill. Niklas @NikkeDangles Tukiainen, the reigning Finnish champion, and Teemu @temppanen Karvonen, the 2023 Finnish champion, are also top contenders vying for the title, making this an event you won’t want to miss.

The remaining four players don't pale in comparison and will give the above-mentioned favorites a run for their money.

Henrik @Eken45jrEklund - a five-time Swedish Champion in the 1v1 game mode and semifinalist in this year's NHL 24 World Championship European finals. Arttu @Artuzio Mustila is always at his best when playing playoff hockey. We haven't seen him go all the way in some time, but some of his more memorable performances are winning the Finnish Championship in 2020 and 2021. Sisu @sisu33_ Nurminen, the second youngest player of our Grand Finalists, at 18 years old,  surprised the eHockey world last year by winning the ECL '23: Winter - 1v1 Championship and has been competing at a high level ever since. Luka @Easychasniper2 Rönn, the youngest player in the competition at 16 years old, has yet to win big in the big tournaments but has had a solid and even track record of finishing close to the top in the last one or two years. Making it into the top 8 of this tournament is already a brilliant display of talent and everything from here on out is simply a bonus for this youngster. Don't count him out quite yet, though!

Road to the Grand Finals

The journey to the Grand Finals has been a test of skill, strategy, and endurance. Players earned their spots by excelling in either the Winter or Spring seasons, with the top two players from each season being automatically seeded into the Grand Finals. The remaining spots were filled by randomly assigning the next best players based on their season performance.
