by The second day of the festival started with Phygital basketball, which was played in a single-elimination format with eight teams. The exhibition tournament was played on one PlayStation console and one basket, and lasted just under three hours. It started with a match between the Shotokan and Peković teams. Team Peković was significantly stronger in the digital part (12-19), so their defeat on the field (11-9) was not enough to drop them from the tournament in the first match. Final score: Shotokan 23 – 28 Peković.
Nafter that, a match was played between the Grafomatex and Himara teams. Grafomatex dominated both in the digital part (20 – 15) and on the field (19 – 8), so they ended the game before the end of time with the result Grafomatex 39 – 23 Himara. In the match between the people of Mostar and Galebovo, a clear difference was visible, and the people of Mostar entered the semi-finals without much effort, with a score of 39-0. The Makina team did not show up on time, so team 63 also easily passed the semi-finals with a score of 39-0.
The first semi-final was played between teams 63 and Mostarci. The digital part looked like this: 63 (12 – 19) Mostar residents. However, on the field, team 63 decided to get serious, so they dominated the opponents and ended the match with the final score of 63 (29 – 23) Mostar. The second semi-final was played between the teams Peković and Grafomatex. In the digital part, the Peković team had no chance (Peković 1-20 Grafomatex), while on the field they fared equally poorly (9-19). The match ended with the result Peković 10 – 39 Grafomatex.
The match for third place was handed over to the Mostarci team by the Peković team, so the boys won bronze medals and numerous gifts. Teams 63 and Grafomatex met in the final. After the complete dominance of Grafomatex in the digital part of the game (6 – 20), on the field things have somewhat evened out. However, the game ended before the time expired with a score of 63 (24 – 39) Grafomatex. Grafomatex won the cup, gold medals and gift packages, while the guys from team 63 were satisfied with silver medals and bonus gifts. All competitors received t-shirts from the GamersLife team.
In addition to Phygital Basketball, the event was filled with Beach Buggy Racing, social games for all visitors, a tournament in Visual Reality that lasted both Saturday and Sunday, as well as numerous panel discussions on the following topics:
- Esports evolution
- How can gaming and esports help promote the city and tourism?
- Esports in education: can schools and colleges keep up with the new reality?
In addition to the discussions, we also had a short but dynamite presentation called: Clockwork Briefcase, which was presented to us by Professor Aleksandar Dlabač.
