Stadium name, Mascot and more
🕑 Added 2023-09-13 11:00:04 +0000 UTCFirst news of the day; it's a wrap!
We filmed all 16 events of ML23 and we are happy to share with you that the champion is... no, just kidding, we won't tell you. We have got a lot of suggestions from you regarding the names of the stadium and the mascot which was incredible! Aaaand difficult to choose one from them...
So we decided to use more than one! Please read below about the names selected!
The stadium - Superhive Stadium [by Elentirmo]
This incredibly suited name just works for the stadium! In Buzzpig there needs to be a place the Bumblebees have special! Building a simple hive or a honeycomb was not super special, but building a set of hives, well that's it! You have 4 hives, the corners of the stadium and the two white hives at the top middle, this makes the whole stadium a 'Superhive' with lots of queens!
These two sections, the honeycombs left and right of the cauldron filled with Bumblebees fans and a Queen in each, will be named "Beekeeper's Memorial South" [left-hand side] and "Beekeeper's Memorial North" [right-hand side], another suggestion from Elentirmo, whom we thank for the incredibly inspired names!
The sections with the Gravitrax hives at the corners of the lower tier grandstands will be named "Alvarium South" [left-hand side], and "Alvarium North" [right-hand side]. Nice work, Yahsho Jinn, very savvy name indeed!
Honourable mentions:
Bernabee [by Tim Drenth], derives from the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, which is a very playful pun!
Hivedome Stadium [by Wilham Silva], a combination of the Honeydome and the Hivedrive, the two M1 circuits from the two merged teams, Hornets and the Bumblebees.
The Mascot - Queen Beetrix [by Samantha Jenkins and Dmitry Gusev]
There were so many great names in this competition, once again difficult to select only one. So for that reason, we named 3 more Queens!
Both Beekeeper's Memorial Hives have 1 queen each, so, the north hive's Queen is named Marbeela [by Shin TriAce] and the south hive's Queen is named Bombus [by Derek Breid]!
The final Queen is the GIANT bee at the middle of them all, is her Rolly Highness Queen of Queens, Mélissa!
[Editor's note: shot taken during the qualifiers, no spoilers around]
Honourable mentions:
Maya the Bee [by Jacob Schauss], a beautiful homage from the kids' show Maya the Bee
Buzzington T. Buzzworth the III [by Tommy Osim]
Bumbleboy [by Pascal]
