Global Esports vs Enigma Gaming Recap
The matchup between the two teams was very close and either team could have taken the win. Enigma Gaming started things off with a 14-12 victory on Ascent, with Rishi "RvK" Vijaykumar pulling off multiple round-winning plays. But Global Esports managed to keep him in check with a very aggressive start to the second game on Split. Global Esports took a 9-3 lead and quickly ended the game in the second round without allowing Enigma to mount a comeback.
Enigma’s Akram "Rawfiul" Virani took matters into his own hands during the third match and helped his team secure a 13-11 victory on Haven. With Global Esports trailing 2-1 in the best-of-five matchup, the team needed to win on both the remaining maps.
Ganesh “SKRossi” Gangadhar stepped up to the occasion and helped Global Esports secure a 13-8 victory on Fracture. Despite Rawfiul’s heroic efforts, Global Esports managed to maintain its first-half lead on the map and secure a win.
In the fifth and final map, Global Esports secured a tight 7-5 lead in the first half and SKRossi continued to dominate on Chamber with 23 kills to his name and helped Global Esports end the game with a 13-9 scoreline.
Enigma Gaming and Global Esports will get the opportunity to represent South Asia at the upcoming Valorant Champions Tour APAC Challengers 2 event.
