The "Naturally Esporty Challenge by FORST 0.0%" tournament opened in mid-January with two qualifying cups. Hockey enthusiasts from South Tyrol played for the chance to represent their club in the final - which was even commented live in the studio. The first final match had some parallels to the last derby in the Palaonda Bolzano. In the virtual comparison, HC Pustertal turned the game around after trailing and finally won 3:2 in overtime. And the HCP representative was also able to win the second duel. This encounter even went into a shootout, where the "Wolves" fixed the victory with three converted penalties. Thus, HC Pustertal won the eSports derby, which was held for the first time. With 3:1 victories, the league newcomer from Bruneck also leads the direct comparison in the bet-at-home ICE Hockey League.
