Team Mortal got ahead of the competition to lift the trophy at the Skyesports HQ in Chennai.
Skyesports, a premier global IP and community builder for gaming and esports, wrapped up ‘THE FINALS Esports Revolution Showdown’, India’s first-ever LAN for the exciting FPS shooter in Chennai. Twenty of the country’s top creators made their way to the city to fight for the prestigious trophy.
Split into four squads, the teams were headlined by some renowned names in India’s gaming and esports industry, namely, Mortal, Scout, Binks, and Sentinel. After an intense double-elimination bracket, Team Scout and Team Mortal were the only two squads remaining to fight for the trophy.
Team Scout, making their way through the upper bracket were the favorites, but Mortal’s team, including himself, Red Parasite, Dolly Plays, Pashu, and Pingu, were quick to improvise to deny Scout the trophy.
Commenting in a post-match interview, Naman “Mortal” Mathur, said, “I am feeling thrilled, especially with the team. I didn’t know what my team’s capabilities were until we got here. We sat here and learned – improvised on our mistakes and here we are.”
Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO, Skyesports, said, “THE FINALS Esports Revolution Showdown at our HQ in Chennai was a resounding success, picking up more than 225,000 viewers so far – a testament to Skyesports’ distribution channels and power of the gaming creators.
