Daniele Celestino Acciari, a world-class pinball player from Italy, won the California state championship at The Flipper Room in Concord. Competing against 23 top players, Acciari's skill shone as he narrowly clinched victory in the final round on The Walking Dead Pro machine. His journey through the tournament highlighted the competitive nature of pinball, where strategy and reflexes are essential, countering the notion that it relies on luck. As an expert player noted, pinball requires quick reactions akin to other sports, underscoring the game's complexity and competitiveness.
"Watching a Twitch livestream of Acciari masterly hammering the flippers a few feet away, Tracey recounted how the three-time world champion's skill set pinball apart from mere luck."
"Acciari won the tournament in dramatic fashion - clinching game seven on The Walking Dead Pro with 230 million points after his challenger fumbled an accidental, last-minute disqualification penalty before the final two balls."
