The first-ever CouRage Clash has wrapped up, with Necros, Clayster, and their squad taking home the top prize in Jack “CouRageJD” Dunlop’s $100,000 Marvel Rivals tournament.

The event brought together some of the biggest names in the creator and esports scenes for a high-energy showdown in NetEase’s fast-growing hero shooter, Marvel Rivals. Twenty-four players were split into four teams, battling it out across multiple rounds to earn their spot in the Grand Finals.

The winning lineup featured Vladan ‘Necros’ Konstantinov, James ‘Clayster’ Eubanks, Nelson ‘Grizzy’, ‘Bonsai-Travis’, Kalei Renay, and Chris ‘Bigpuffer’. They faced off against a strong team led by Ali ‘SypherPK’ Hassan and Richard ‘Ricky’ Stacy, with both sides delivering action-packed plays throughout the finals.

Here’s how the Grand Finals unfolded:

  • Game One: Team 1 (Necros) 3–4 Team 2 (SypherPK) – Symbiotic Surface, Convergence
  • Game Two: Team 1 2–0 Team 2 – Krakoa, Domination
  • Game Three: Team 1 3–0 Team 2 – Spider-Islands, Convoy
  • Final Score: Team 1 wins 2–1

The final showdown was streamed live on CouRageJD’s Twitch channel, where the popular streamer returned to the commentary booth for the first time in six years. Joining him was Marvel Rivals Ignite caster and creator Cozy, delivering lively play-by-play coverage that perfectly matched the event’s energy.

The CouRage Clash adds to a growing list of creator-led Marvel Rivals events. Over the past year, names like Shroud, xQc, Disguised Toast, and Bogur have each hosted their own competitions in collaboration with NetEase Games. From the Shroud Gauntlet to the xQc Invitational, these tournaments have brought together streamers, pros, and fans in an ongoing celebration of the game’s competitive potential.

With Season 4.5 now underway and new esports stages heating up across regions, it’s clear that Marvel Rivals is carving out a serious spot in the competitive gaming scene.
