On day 1, many custom matches were organized by Thug and Villager eSports. In the customs, we had seen Mortal along with his old line-up that includes Iconic, Nova, and Experiment. Similarly, Scout was seen playing with Daljit, Trance, and Kratos. The theme was to re-unite as an old line-up and give fans a trip down memory lane and a nostalgic feel.

The initiative and the live charity stream for COVID-19 will take place for two days. The same schedule will be followed tomorrow. For day 2, more such custom matches are going to be organized by the hosts. Thug also invited Ashish Chanchlani, Dynamo, Tanmay Bhatt, and Carryminati to be present as guests in the event.
