We have an Undisputed Champion of the RTR Heads Up cups. These events usually run either alongside or at the end of a season and consist of a straight heads up match KO.

The winner of BOTH season 1 and season 2 was… THE CLOUD

In season 1 the runner up was dD who had a massive tussle with Cloud in the final

In season 2, a newbie to the forum, but very good player, LukyBugur was the next man to fall to the HU powers of the mighty Cloud!
