During the 3rd & 4th match, our points decreased a bit, that is when we changed our strategy to go aggressive in the 5th round in the Kalahari map. The outcome of the 5th match was really good which helped us to inch very close to the win. Overall, it was really encouraging to see such a unique prize pool. A lot of good gamers belong from a humble background and tournaments like MGL give them a platform to win the best which technology has to offer.”
