Top Fragger - Week 1

Blind secured a total of 27 points during the match which included 15 placement points and 12 finishes, ending the day with 64 points in total across the eight matches.

Following up on a decent first day, Team iNSANE really turned things around for themselves by jumping to second place on the points table as it bagged two consecutive WWCDs, accumulating a total of 44 points split equally between the two matches - 15 placement points and seven finishes.

Can they score a hattrick and dethrone OR Esports, who are also going quite strong by the way.

First day might not have gone SouL's way, despite a heroic solo effort by Hector during Match-3 to secure a WWCD for his side. But things have started off well on the second day as SouL secures victory in its very first match, 29 points in the bag, 15 placement points and 14 finishes.

After an intense first day that witnessed four matches being played by 'Group-B' teams, we are all set for the second day of the competition. OR Esports was the clear winner with Attanki leading the charge having attained consecutive MVP performances for his side. It remains to be seen if they can continue ahead in similar fashion or does another team manage to secure the top spot for themselves.

During the interview after all matches of the first day were done, Jelly appreciated his teammates stating that they did everything that he had expected from them be it player rotations, team fights, or anything else.

Despite the first two matches not going its way, OR Esports recovered in the final two matches, including a WWCD in the third game, where OR went in with a clean slate according to Jelly. He further said that the team mentality was very good as they are able to reset themselves without facing many problems.

OR Esports assault player Attanki seems to be in top form as he racked another MVP award, his second for the day in back-to-back matches. Despite his team placing second, Attanki managed to deliver quite the performance which included four finishes, five knocks, and three assists. Helping his team achieve two more finishes than the winners, Team XO (10 finishes).

Team XO took an early lead in this match without losing any players and kept its grip on the top spot with clinical and precise gameplay till the very end. With all players on their feet to finish the match, XO secured a total of 25 points, including 15 placement points and 10 finishes.

The assaulter for OR Esports was looking indomitable on Sanhok, sweeping through all the squads as he secured seven finishes to his name, coupled with four knocks and two assists. He contributed heavily to this dominating performance by OR, securing a total of 27 points, 15 placement points and 12 finishes.

A really intense 3v3 went down between OR Esports and Blind Esports on Sanhok. The circle closed down on the two teams as they kept fighting tooth and nail to come out on top. Blind did get an early advantage by knocking down Attanki, but OR managed to revive him and came back to win multiple close-quarter fights to secure its first WWCD of the tournament.

Ankit "AKop" Shukla bagged the MVP award in this match for a solid well-rounded performance for Orangutan with six finishes, four knocks, and two assists to his name. Unfortunately, he could not top any of the individual categories with Destro securing most finishes (7), CluTch dishing out maximum damage (851), and Blaze achieving highest assits (5).

An intense final fight broke out between Orangutan, Hyderabad Hydras, and just a single player from FS Esports, CluTch, who managed to grab a second-place finish for his side despite the massive handicap. However, it was Orangutan that managed to keep calm and come out on top with a total of 30 points, including 15 placement points and 15 finishes.

Parth "DeltaPG" Garg was the MVP of the first match, having picked five finishes for Chemin Esports, along with three knocks, and four assists. With this, not only does he become the leading fragger but also secured the most number of assists along with maximum damage output.

The first match of BGMS 2022 has concluded with Chemin Esports walking away with the WWCD (Winner Winner Chicken Dinner). Chemin claimed a total of 28 points, including 15 placement points and 13 finishes.
