Bwead played one of the new characters in Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, Nier. She is considered one of the hardest to play, so it’s interesting to witness what she is capable of in the esports action.

In the Winners Final, Bwead defeated UselessMiwa. In the Gran Final, there was a fight of Nier vs Seox, Bwead vs Lavender. Both these characters sure deserve their place on top of tier lists. This time, Bwead was stronger and won the tournament.
