Wilky and co. swept aside the competition to claim the $1,000 grand prize

Infinity Gauntlet win AGN Atlanta 2022

The ex-Northern Forces trio came out on top during this event.

AGN Atlanta 2022 has come to a close, with Infinity Gauntlet, a mix team built around a trio of ex-Northern Forces players joined by Dylan "SATURN" Finch and Keller "SLIGHT" Nilan, securing first place in the tournament.

Infinity Gauntlet got off to a good start to the event in the quarterfinals, booking a ticket straight to the semifinals after a forfeit win over First Rounders. Elsewhere in the quarterfinals, Connor "Jermaine" B.'s LGG Prison Break received a bye as there were an odd number of teams in attendance at the event.

Cole "RoundCube" Taylor's Unjustified took down Collin "CoJoMo" Moren's Cyberstorm in a nailbiting two-map affair, with the second map of Overpass going to double overtime before Unjustified claimed victory. The last quarterfinal matchup had Dalton "doltn" Ehlers' Levitate square off against Drew "Drewtheshrew" Lamb's Fourth Quarter, with the former squad coming out on top after an arduous three-map series.

Infinity Gauntlet's semifinal matchup ended up being far more harrowing than their quarterfinal one, as they matched up against Levitate. The series went the distance; all three maps were played, with the decider map of Mirage requiring all thirty rounds for Infinity Gauntlet to come out on top. The other semifinal saw LGG Prison Break play their first series of the event, falling to Unjustified 2-0 after two 16-13 losses in a row.

The stage was now set for the grand final, with Infinity Gauntlet's trio of ex-Northern Forces players Reece "Wilky" Wilkerson, James "EllisoN" Ellison, and Matthew "D4rtyMontana" Paplawskas taking on RoundCube and Noah "NoVa" Vaknin's Unjustified for the $1,000 grand prize. In the end, it would be Infinity Gauntlet securing first place, with two closely contested map victories over Unjustified to wrap up the event.

The final standings for AGN Atlanta 2022 are:

1. United States Infinity Gauntlet (D4rtyMontana, SATURN, Wilky, EllisoN, SLIGHT) - $1,000
