Rigged? Bungie just announced the winners of a Destiny 2 event that isn't due to end for weeks
As a lifelong Warlock main since the launch of vanilla Destiny, I was delighted to log in at reset today and see that our class has won the 2023 Guardian Games.

Whichever class dumps the most medals each week takes the W, with the overall victor to be crowned at May 23's reset. Or today, if you're a Bungie intern
