7Sea Esports wins BGMI Showdown 2022

7Sea Esports has emerged victorious in the grand finale of BGMI Showdown 2022. This tournament gave the coveted invite to PMWI Afterparty and 7Sea Esports will represent India at this event.

The grand finale of BMSD 2022 was very compact as only six matches were played on a single day in a LAN format. As the points table was reset, each team had a fair chance to show their best performance and 7Sea Esports did exactly that to win the tournament.

Skylightz Gaming kickstarted the BMSD 2022 grand finale with a dominating win and 7Sea was just getting warmed up. They won the second map but Skylightz was on their tail with the second finish.

Orangutan entered the fray on the third map and came very close to snatching the victory from the hands of 7Sea Esports but the latter on the last map and secured their victory.

Here is the prize pool distribution of this tournament and the top three placements:

  1. 7Sea Esports – ₹5,00,000
  2. Orangutan – ₹2,50,000
  3. Enigma Gaming – ₹1,00,000

As mentioned before, 7Sea Esports has now locked their place at PMWI Afterparty and will play at this massive event with $1 million prize pool to represent India there.

S8UL Sid talks about BGMI Orgs teaming up in BMSD 2022

S8UL Sid, the manager of Team SouL’s BGMI roster, recently came live on Loco for a brief period and shed light on the alleged “teaming up” that happened on the second day of BGMI Showdown 2022.

Teaming or grouping in BGMI or PUBG Mobile refers to an activity where two or more teams that are supposed to compete actually appear to be working with each other. This kind of activity is not allowed under the competitive rulebook and can instantly lead to severe actions. 

S8UL Sid, the manager of Team Soul, opened up about blatant teaming up that happened on the third day of BGMI Showdown 2022. According to him, some players were planning on coordinating their drop positions and coming up with strategies in the washroom before the second match began.

Sid also says that there is a recording of this matter, which has not surfaced on the internet yet.

Teaming up is a major offense in BGMI Esports and according to the official BMPS Rulebook, it can lead to investigation by TOs, sanctions or repeated infractions on the accused teams.

In short, a team can be investigated by Krafton and subsequent actions are taken based on the severity of the event. Following clauses come into effect while taking Teaming into consideration:

6.2.1 Collusion:

Any form of collusion by any Team Members is prohibited.
Examples of collusion are:
(A) Any agreement among two or more players or other Team Members not
to play to a reasonable standard of competition in a Tournament Game for
any reason, including in order to provide any opposing Team or player
with certain advantages or benefits.

6.3.7 Immoral Activity:

A Team Member may not engage in any activity
which, in the sole reasonable determination of KRAFTON or the
Tournament Organizer, is unethical, immoral or disgraceful.

It is unclear if S8UL Sid or the management of Team Soul has taken this matter to the officials or not but if they do so, we might see some form of investigation and its results very soon.

FPX beat Optic to reach the finals of Valorant Masters

Defeating their long-term opponents yesterday, FunPlus Phoenix qualified for the Valorant Champions Tour Masters Copenhagen Lower Bracket Finals after a strong lower Bracket run and were looking hot. Shao and Suygetsu had impressive, impactful performances throughout Knockouts.

Optic Gaming was looking good in the tournament. After losing the group stage, they won against all their contemporaries with almost ease. Still, a brutal loss to Paper Rex pushed them into the lower finals. 

VCT Masters Copenhagen Lower Finals Map Veto:

Being the top-seeded team, Optic Gaming had the advantage of banning two maps. The map veto started with Optic banning Ascent, FPX’s strongest map, and FPX banned Breeze. 

Optic Gaming chose to play Split and Bind, while FPX picked Icebox and Fracture. Haven remains the decider. 

Summary of VCT Masters Copenhagen Lower Finals:

  • FunPlus Phoenix 3-1 Optic Gaming

Map 1 Split:

Split started with Optic looking great, winning the second round off the pistol win, but FPX turned it around and went on to win nine out of the ten rounds to win the half 9-3.

The FPX dominance continued despite the pistol round win, and FPX managed to convert their lead to a strong 13-6 victory of Optic Gamings map pick.

Player of the map: Shao, KDA-21/12/2 ACS - 278

Map 2: Icebox

Icebox as a map pick was a sure gamble from FPX, as they have lost all their previous scrims on Icebox, and they seemingly struggled for the first four rounds, but a timeout helped me reset themselves, and they won six rounds in half to close the half 6-6.

The second half was much different, with FPX completely decimating Optic Gaming’s defense to limit Optic to two rounds and win the game 13-8.

Player of the Map Ardiis, KDA - 23/12/2 ACS - 303

Map 3: Bind

The Optic Gaming was already 2-0 down and had to win Bind to have a chance in the competition. Optic Gaming on attack displayed extreme resilience, winning five rounds in a row. FPX answered but only managed to scrape three rounds to end the half 3-9. 

Optic Gaming on defense started strong and closed down FPX’s attack attempts to close down the series 13-6 and snatch a map from FPX to stay in contention.

Player of the Map: Crashies, KDA - 21/7/10 ACS - 281

Map 4: Fracture

The fourth map was FPX’s map pick, and FPX delivered by penetrating Optic Gaming’s defense, winning six straight rounds in a row to finish the first half 9-3.

The second half did swing in Optic’s favor, but the lead was too much for Optic to handle, and they fell to FPX, losing the game 7-13 and the series 1-3.

Player of the Map: ANGE1, KDA - 19/12/5 ACS - 247

Play of the Series: Shao, KDA – 68/49/23 ACS – 238

With this Victory, FPX would play Paper Rex tomorrow in the Grand finals of Valorant Champions Tour Masters Copenhagen.
