The San Diego Studio’s Developers Tournament has wrapped in tremendous fashion and we have a new champion! With the release of MLB® The Show™ 23 right around the corner, the San Diego Studio Developer’s Tournament was the perfect way for our hardworking teammates to blow off some steam and showcase their game skills. Thanks to everyone that participated in the tournament, helped to make this tournament a reality, and to all of you for watching.

For 6+ hours, sixteen of the finest virtual athletes that San Diego Studio has to offer faced-off in best 2 out of 3, elimination style match-ups. There were returning favorites from tournaments past, as well as all new participants throwing their hat into the ring for a chance at glory. In the end though, only one could take home the belt.

Congratulations to Kyle B. for an amazing performance in leading his Washington Nationals team to a resounding victory in the San Diego Studio Developer’s Tournament.
