COD Mobile India Challenge: Multiplayer Season 1 Playoffs overview
GodLike Esports was in good form from the very beginning of the tournament as they comfortably defeated 7I Astro 3-0. Their semifinal match was against Enigma Gaming, and they won by a 3-1 scoreline, moving to the upper bracket finals.
Despite their previous victories, the upper bracket finals were said to be a tough battle for them as they took on their arch-rivals, Team Vitality. The latter team came into the match after dominating the previous rounds. However, the results were one-sided once again as GodLike prevailed with a 3-0 scoreline, while Vitality was relegated to the lower bracket finals.
The lower bracket finals were a closely fought contest, but Revenant came out on top thanks to Xyro, who was also MVP in the fifth and final decider match.
The Grand Final was a best of seven (Bo7) round where Godlike already had a point as an advantage in winning the upper bracket. The team was unstoppable and won all three consecutive matches against Revenant to win the title.
Match 1: Hacienda - Hardpoint - Godlike (250):Revenant (199)
Match 2: Summit - Search and Destroy - Godlike (7):Revenant (5)
Match 3: Slums - Control - Godlike (3):Revenant (0)
