[ad_1] The World Rock Paper Scissors Championship recently crowned a new champion, as players from all over the world gathered in Toronto, Canada to compete for the coveted title.

The tournament, which has been held every year since 2002, has grown in popularity over the years, with players coming from countries as far as Australia, Japan, and Brazil to compete. This year’s championship was no exception, with over 500 players from 52 countries taking part.

The game of rock paper scissors, also known as “Roshambo,” is a simple game that has been played for centuries. Players make a fist with one hand, and then on the count of three, they simultaneously throw out their hand showing rock (a closed fist), paper (an open hand), or scissors (a hand with the index and middle finger extended). Rock beats scissors, paper beats rock, and scissors beat paper.

The tournament is a double elimination bracket format, meaning players have to lose twice before they are eliminated from the competition. This ensures that the winner truly earned their place as the champion.

This year’s winner was Andrea Farina, from Italy, who beat out his opponent in a best of three match. Farina, who is a professional rock paper scissors player, has won several other tournaments in Europe and in the United States, and was thrilled to add the World Championship title to his collection.

Farina and the other competitors take the game of rock paper scissors very seriously, studying their opponents’ body language, trying to predict their next move, and even practicing special throws to throw off their opponent.

The World Rock Paper Scissors Championship may seem like a lighthearted, fun event, but for the players, it is a serious competition that requires skill, strategy, and practice. And for the winner, it is a moment of triumph that they will never forget.[ad_2]
