Matches will be played in a best-of-three format and livestreamed on the league’s Twitch and YouTube channels.

KRYPTO KRINGLE: Miami’s own KRYPTO9095 is one of the biggest personalities on YouTube and will be competing in the first two stages of the tournament. A professional gamer and music artist, KRYPTO9095 has released five singles including “Woah (feat. D3Mstreet),” which has more than 127 million views on YouTube and is often credited with popularizing the dance move.

POINSETTIA PIKA: Born in Fiji, Dipika “ItsPikaaa” Dutt moved to the United States when she was five years old. ItsPikaaa has become a popular figure on Tik Tok where she has amassed more than 5.7 million likes. Fun fact: Dutt’s favorite food is chicken wings.

NBA G LEAGUE IGNITE REPRESENTS: NBA G League Ignite’s Jonathan Kuminga and Cody Demps will also be competing in the Winter Cla$h. Kuminga, a native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, was ranked the No. 4 high-school player in the 2020 ESPN 100. An experienced point guard, Demps played in 40 games for the Stockton Kings during the 2019-20 NBA G League season and averaged 14.4 points along with 5.4 rebounds. NBA G League Ignite recently began training with head coach Brian Shaw in Walnut Creek, Calif.

Bronze card has been claimed during the group stage; silver and gold prizes remain available until 31 July.

Tonybet said it has paid out its first major prize in its World Cup Card Collection campaign for Canadian customers (excluding Ontario), after a player secured the promotion’s bronze card worth $15,000 CAD.

The operator said the World Cup Card Collection includes 51 cards to collect during the tournament: 48 digital cards tied to participating World Cup nations, plus three unique cards—gold, silver and bronze—linked to a $150,000 CAD total prize fund.

According to Tonybet, the bronze card has been available through the World Cup’s group stage and has now been claimed. The silver card is available during the knockout rounds up to the quarter-finals, while the gold card is held back for the closing semi-finals and final.

Tonybet Head of Product Kiryl Liudvikevich said: “With Canada co-hosting the World Cup for the first time, the tournament has felt closer to home than ever before for Canadians, and it has already delivered a moment most supporters could only dream about with the national team advancing to the knockout stages.

“For one lucky Canada supporter, it has now produced another story that will be worth retelling long after the final whistle has gone – with our lucky winner among the first Tonybet customers to win one of the unique cards in our World Cup Card Collection, taking home a cool $15,000 for managing to get his hands on bronze. Who will end up with silver and gold?”

Tonybet said the same three unique cards are also in circulation across its other markets, with varying outcomes so far. The World Cup Card Collection campaign runs until 31 July, with a $150,000 CAD prize pool for Canada and separate prize pools in other markets.
