“BGMS is one of the biggest stages for esports in India, so winning our first major trophy here feels surreal. We have always believed this team has the ability to push the game forward, and taking a massive lead across the first two days of the LAN finale gave us the confidence to stay true to our approach on the final day. Lifting the trophy in front of a live crowd made the achievement even more memorable. This is a win we will remember for a long time, and hopefully the first of many for this”
