Unrivaled’s second annual 1-on-1 tournament came to a close Saturday in Miami when Chelsea Gray defeated Allisha Gray in the best-of-three finals to lift the trophy and earn the $200,000 grand prize. As the runner-up, Allisha Gray will take home $50,000.
Chelsea Gray needed a series of stunning comebacks to pull off her ultimate victory. In the semifinals, which also took place Saturday, she fell behind Kelsey Plum 8-0, before going on a 12-0 run to end the game. Gray then lost the first game of the finals, and trailed in each of the last two games. Notably, she was down 6-0 in Game 3, but dug deep and closed on a 7-0 run to claim victory.
Plum and Aliyah Boston, who lost to Allisha Gray in another semifinal thriller, will each take home $25,000.
