The Road to Shine was not a short or easy one for Rivals players hoping to earn a free plane ticket to the Boston major. Taking place over a period of 2 months and including more than 750 entrants, the event ended in a fiery grand finals last Saturday between Kisuno and LBO. In the end Kisuno was able to take home first place and earn that travel voucher for Shine – one of our biggest event stops for Rivals this year.
