On the victory, Hunt said ““I’ve finally got my second ePremier League title! I have come so close to winning it again, and now, being the only player to win two ePL titles, it’s a massive achievement. To win it for City, alongside Matias who played brilliantly, means so much”.
Manchester City had a fairly easy way through to the closing stages of the ePremier League, having won 7-0 and 6-0 in the quarter finals and semi-finals respectively.
Matias Bonnano said: “We’re so happy to get over the line and win the ePremier League title for City. The quality of this year’s competition is some of the best that I have known, so we had to work well together throughout the tournament. Credit to Brighton, it was a tough Grand Final and they didn’t give us an easy time. I really enjoyed playing alongside Tekkz who gave me a vital advantage. What a win!”.
The teams were competing for a £100,000 prize pool, with the first place netting £30,000, second place £15,000, all the way down to 9th-20th getting £1650 each. Manchester City winning meant that Bonanno and Hunt got £15,000 each, while the ePremier League runners up Brighton netted Marc Marley and Jayden Groden £7500 each.
Premier League Chief Commercial Officer Will Brass said: “Congratulations to Tekkz, Matias and Manchester City on winning the 2023/24 ePremier League title.
