ESTNN recaps the High Tier skill challenge from the second day of the FNCS All-Star Showdown.
Day two of the FNCS All-Star Showdown is in the books. Yesterday, top players across all regions competed in the Blueprint Battle and Bullseye Bonanza for cash prizes and bragging rights. On the second day of competition, players endured High Tier — a skill challenge that tests building, tunneling and water falling. Participants went head-to-head against each other and the best time of two runs advanced in the bracket.
Congratulations to our High Tier Champions from across the globe!

Favs followed a similar path to Ajerss of the NA East region. The long-time West professional player functioned on a different level than his opponents. His performance resulted in a 2:12, which broke the record. Favs dispatched Adambaeb in the Grand Finals and collected his $5K USD in winnings. It was quite a performance out of an underrated competitor.

- Dylannx over Bluzro
- Chris over Adambaeb

2:19 is very good, but it wasn’t enough to beat @favsfn who takes the NAW High Tier Crown in the FNCS All-Star Showdown and put up the fastest time we’ve seen of 2:12! pic.twitter.com/1w5DwRU2Vs
