For the sixth year in succession, the Global Series pits the fastest gamers from around the world against one another over five rounds and ten races. Each finalist has been chosen to represent one of the twelve current MotoGP™ teams as they fight it out to become the 2022 MotoGP™ eSport Champion.
And following on from an all-action opening round, held during the ItalianGP, the second round delivered on all accounts as the fastest gamers in the world faced off in two intense fights. Former champions trast73 and adriaan_26 fought it out in a battle of wits in the afternoon’s first encounter, before adriaan_26 exacted his revenge on the Italian in the second.

But trast73 held his nerve to win by 0.968s in a crucial victory.
