The short version
- And with the event now over, more than £63,000 has been raised to help support physically disabled gamers.
- One Big Game has now concluded, raising over £63,000 in total, and the whole event is available to view via video-on-demand on the official SpecialEffect Twitch account .
- There were some really good matches, too.
What happened
Activision battled EA in a game ending 2-3 in EA's favour, while Maverick + Friends faced off against Playground and Rare in a real nail-biter. And Xbox under the team name "Score more with Xbox" didn't manage to score more than Jagex, who took the game 2-1.
Why it matters
SpecialEffect has run this event (and others like it) for years now, and it's proven to be a really brilliant effort each time.
