"It was a great experience for us, thanks to JioGames and MediaTek for providing us the platform to showcase our talent. The Tournament spanned for more than two months, a huge shout-out to the management for handling the stuff. We didn't have that much of a great start, but the third map turned out great for us, after which we had a quite consistent performance. The other Kalahari map in which we had a booyah also helped us a lot to boost our points and become the table toppers,".
