MexiFacts: Minnesota LAN's

It's Thursday and you know what that means, another banger MexiFacts article! After weeks of research and conversations with LAN Champions I finally scraped up enough information to get all the winners for Minnesota LAN's and major events. There may be some LAN's that I am missing so if you see one that is not on here let me know. I talked with Exio who was in charge of the Epic 1.0 LAN and unfortunately he didn't have the winners for that LAN. Here is the information!

MexiFacts:

• Rocket League was released to the public on 07/07/2015 and according to my records, the 1st Minnesota Rocket League LAN was hosted by the University of Minnesota at GopherCon on 12/02/2017. We can say that Petar and SuperPants are the 1st players to ever win a Minnesota LAN.

• The University of Minnesota hosted 3 LAN's in 2017 and early 2018 then partnered with Shift Up Esports who hosted the next 6 LAN's. Shift Up Esports are the ones who host the Player Up LAN's. Between Shift Up's LAN's, Galvanized Esports, the Minnesota Rocket League Community, and Alpine Esports all hosted LAN's.

• Petar and SuperPants competed in a couple LAN's in the 2017 and early 2018 but have never competed in the MNCS. Maybe we could find these players?

• 4 players have won Minnesota LAN's but have never competed in MNCS: Petar, SuperPants, Unquiet, and Fredrick.

• Ambrosia is the first player to win a Minnesota LAN and a Minnesota Online event.

• Unquiet, Fredrick, Mexi, Gatman, and CheerioJF have won every Minnesota LAN they have competed in.

• Mexi has the most consecutive Minnesota LAN victories with 5.

• Marksman has won the most LAN's in Minnesota with 6 victories but doesn't compete anymore.

• Despite Marksman having the most LAN victories, he lost in the Alpine Esports MOA LAN along side Ambrosia and Toast.

• Upper90 Esports has won the most Minnesota LAN titles.

• 2019 to early 2020 was the year of Mexi and Marksman. They won 3 LAN's with 3 different 3rds: Wildcat, Zodak, and CheerioJF.

• Tero, Mako, and Prussia have teamed for the last 2 Player Up LAN's and have lost twice in the Grand Finals to Mexi and Marksman.

• Tero teamed with Mako and Prussia in the Player Up LAN after losing to them in the finals of the Galvanized Esports LAN.

• Despite Mexi and Marksman winning 4 LAN's together, they teamed in season 2 of MNCS under the Burnsville Inferno franchise, made it to the playoffs but got 1st rounded. Marksman announced his retirement after the season.

• The St. Paul Senators have won the past 2 North Star Invitationals and have made it to the grand finals in the past 2 MNCS seasons but have never won MNCS.

• Here are the LAN locations: The University of Minnesota - Minneapolis, The Garage - Burnsville, Mystic Lake Casino - Prior Lakes, Minneapolis Convention Center - Minneapolis, The Left Click Lounge - Minneapolis. The majority of Minnesota LAN's have been hosted in Minneapolis.
