Clash Royale event brings together the best North American players for The Crown Duel

Hundreds of thousands of players have competed in the latest tournament for Supercell’s Clash Royale strategy battler, and now the final eight will go head-to-head this weekend.

Clash Royale: The Crown Duel event will begin December 17 at the Globe Theatre in Los Angeles. Comedians Rob Coddry and Al Madrigal will host the finals, which will hand out $15,000 to the winner as well as a trip to visit developer Supercell in Finland. Clash Royale is one of the top-grossing games on iOS and Android, and it is likely on pace to generate nearly $1 billion in its first 12 months on the market. The game has also established itself as one of the bigger games in the mobile esports scene, which also includes games like Vainglory and Hearthstone (which is also playable on PC).
