On February 15, for the second year in a row, Monaco hosted the most prestigious tournament of the Buhurt League season – Buhurt Prime.

Other teams got their invitations according to their positions in the ranking of the Buhurt League Season 2019.
All the fights were just fantastic! The teams gathered in Monaco were incredible – professional, experienced, motivated. All of them can be called HMB legends!
The final battle for the 1st place between the teams Bear Paw and Western Tower was one of the most dramatic. Everybody who was in the Chapiteau Espace Fontvieille dome – spectators, members of other teams, organizers – forgot about everything and just watched this battle, that resulted in the well deserved victory of Bear Paw.
