If this is your first time reading about this exciting community, let us introduce you to the BBN London team, an elite group of professional and champion Beybladers who boast over 20 years of extensive competitive Beyblade experience. This dynamic team is led by BBN founder LeeDraciel, he not only earned the title of Bakuten Shoot Beyblade UK champion but also achieved the prestigious rank of world number 1 in Metal Fight Beyblade (MFB). Under his guidance, the team has flourished, becoming a beacon for Beyblade enthusiasts across the nation. We take pride in hosting a variety of thrilling tournaments every month throughout the UK, with our origins deeply rooted in the vibrant city of London, where our passion for Beyblade began and continues to thrive.

The BBN is distinguished for holding the only Beyblade tournaments in the UK that feature separate age divisions, ensuring that competitors can engage in fair and balanced matches. These divisions include a Senior category for participants aged 13 and older, as well as a Junior category for those aged 12 and under. This structure not only promotes healthy competition but also fosters a sense of community among players of different ages, allowing younger participants to learn from their senior counterparts while also showcasing their own skills and talents. By providing these separate divisions, we aim to cultivate a welcoming environment where all Beyblade enthusiasts, regardless of their age, can come together to share their love for the game, compete fiercely, and build lasting friendships.

Let's take a moment to recap the exhilarating London BBN tournaments that took place in both January and February. It’s evident that both divisions attracted a diverse array of fierce competitors spanning all ages, ranging from complete beginners who were just stepping into the world of Beyblade to seasoned players with years of experience under their belts. Each Beyblade X tournament brought with it a plethora of surprises, showcasing unique matchups and unexpected outcomes. The element of unpredictability was a prominent theme, as there were even remarkable instances where newcomers, who were initially perceived as underdogs, managed to clinch victory in their groups and advanced to the finals! This unpredictability is what makes the world of Beyblade so thrilling—truly, anything can happen!

We began the day with the Junior division, which was filled with excitement. The lively whirr of Beyblades being launched into action resonated throughout the college hall in Finchley, creating an atmosphere charged with anticipation. Parents and children alike gathered their wits, engaging in animated discussions about strategies and techniques. As the initial chaos began to settle down, competitors meticulously prepared and finalized their Beyblade combos, ensuring that every detail was optimized for battle. The BBN Junior division kicked off to a fantastic start, with heated battles erupting all around as the young bladers showcased their skills and creativity!

The finalists for January were an impressive lineup: Grace, HARRY343DRANZ, ReiChomp, Redxblader, FluffitoInOhio, and Max321LetItRip!

Congratulations to all the winners for their outstanding achievements and for earning the sought-after prizes and BBN trophies!

The Senior Division(25/01/25):

Now, let’s shift our focus to the Senior division, where the competition was equally fierce and exciting. This division featured a good mix of newcomers, alongside regulars who had been part of the Beyblade community since the inception of the first generation, as well as long-time enthusiasts who have maintained their passion for Beyblade throughout various iterations of the game. The diversity of experience levels added a rich layer of complexity to the matches, and it was evident that Beyblade X had a unique way of leveling the playing field, allowing participants of all skill levels to showcase their abilities and potentially dominate the competition. What stood out the most, however, was the palpable enjoyment radiating from everyone involved; it was clear that all participants were having a great time and relishing the experience.

The January Senior finalists included the formidable competitors: Lotoftoast, Valious, Xatiiv, Haemon, ThePokeBlader, and Albertino.

Albertino made a remarkable debut by taking home the bronze BBN trophy in his very first tournament, a feat that many seasoned players can only dream of achieving. Lotoftoast, who is no stranger to top 3 finishes, secured the silver trophy, adding yet another accolade to his impressive record. And now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for—drum roll please… Xatiiv emerged victorious, clinching 1st place, receiving the prestigious gold trophy, and earning the first pick of the prizes, a reward that reflects not only his skill but also his strategic prowess throughout the tournament. The excitement and camaraderie shared among the competitors made this event a memorable one, and it set a high standard for the tournaments to come.

On to February! At this exciting event, we introduced a sales table, which provides bladers with a fantastic opportunity to purchase unique items, as well as imported releases that would typically be overpriced in other venues. This addition was met with enthusiasm, as it allowed participants to enhance their collections with exclusive merchandise, accessories, and limited-edition releases that catered specifically to their interests and needs within the community.

In addition to the sales table, we had the pleasure of showcasing a giant custom stadium for participants to engage in thrilling exhibition matches. This impressive structure was meticulously crafted by one of our talented members, Valious, who put in considerable effort and creativity to ensure it was not only functional but also visually striking. The stadium became a central hub of activity, drawing in both seasoned competitors and newcomers alike, all eager to test their skills and strategies in this expansive arena.

The Junior Division(16/02/25):

As the competition unfolded, we witnessed an intense showdown among the participants, culminating in a final round that featured an impressive lineup of finalists: Tombladerx, Shadow Burst, Cameron, Platonjr15, Finxgamer, and Redxblader. After an exhilarating round robin final, the results were clear, with distinct 1st and 2nd place winners emerging from the fray. However, the competition was so fierce that it led to a thrilling three-way tie for third place. To resolve this exciting impasse, we decided to host a battle royal, utilizing the latest Takara Tomy 3-player stadium, which was graciously brought along by our member AtmosphereRQL. The atmosphere was electric as the competitors faced off in this dynamic format, and after a series of exhilarating confrontations governed by the three-way battle rules, Finxgamer emerged victorious, claiming 3rd place. Redxblader secured the 2nd place position, while Cameron triumphed as the champion, taking home the prestigious gold trophy and enjoying the honor of having the first pick from the amazing prize pool that awaited the winners.

The Senior Division(16/02/25):

As expected, the competition in the Senior Division was exceptionally high, showcasing the skills and strategies of some of the best bladers in the community. After a series of intense battles that tested the mettle of each participant, we arrived at the final stage featuring six finalists, each representing the top player from their respective round robin groups. The elite six comprised ThePokeBlader, BlacKPhoeniX, Lotoftoast, Opal, Kelsxgamer, and BiggAdz, all of whom demonstrated remarkable prowess throughout the tournament.

The finals were structured as another round robin stage, where each player faced off against one another once, with the blader accumulating the most points declared the winner. Excitement was in the air as spectators rallied behind their favorite competitors, creating an electrifying atmosphere that added to the thrill of the matches. In a surprising turn of events, 3rd place was claimed by BiggAdz, one of our newer bladers who showcased impressive skill and determination. The competition at the top was so fierce that it resulted in a tie, leading to an epic final round replay that had everyone on the edge of their seats, cheering passionately for their favorites. Ultimately, 2nd place went to Opal, a returning player from the MFB days who proved that experience is invaluable in such competitive settings. Our champion, however, was none other than Lotoftoast, who, after finishing in 2nd place in January, took one step further this time and proudly walked away with the gold! Congratulations to all participants for their outstanding performances and sportsmanship!

The competitors in both the January and February tournaments truly did amazingly well, showcasing their skills and dedication in a highly competitive environment. It’s essential to recognize that battling in tournaments of this magnitude is no small feat!

This environment not only fosters competition but also encourages personal growth and the honing of skills, as bladers learn from one another and push each other to improve.

As for our side event, BBN's very own 'Spin to Win' was exceptionally well received, with many enthusiastic participants spinning their way to the top during both our January and February tournaments. As the name suggests, the champions of the 'Spin to Win' event demonstrated their remarkable talents by managing to spin a single generic Beyblade combo for the longest duration. This event not only added an extra layer of excitement but also allowed competitors to showcase their finesse and control. The winners were rewarded with fantastic prizes, which added to the thrill of the competition. Interestingly, we had two inspiring instances of parent and child winners emerging from two separate events, highlighting the notion that talent and passion for Beyblade can indeed run in the family!

Congratulations are in order for iRex and his daughter WolfiePops, as well as TeodorM and Kristyna Outara, who excelled in spinning the longest during the January tournament and walked away with some impressive prizes. Additionally, our February 'Spin to Win' winners, the dynamic duo of Mother and son,
