The loss of Powerhouse and iNSANE Esports from PMIS 2020 was considered to be a rather shocking affair as both teams had been directly invited. However, fans can breathe a sigh of relief as this chain of events will now see their team in the quarterfinals. The one significant team which has been eliminated is one featuring Ghatak and Kronten, known as TSK or The Supari Killers. Of course, both members never had any serious expectations from the squad and while Ghatak is already a part of TSM-Entity, Kronten is the owner of Godlike Esports.
