Konina Power fails to qualify for PMGC 2021
One of the biggest tournament upsets was the dismal performance of the winners of PMPL Season 2 CIS, Konina Power. The team had also finished fourth in the League Stage of the 2020 Global Championship.
Konina, from the start, looked a shadow of their former selves, getting eliminated early in multiple matches. The team's performance deteriorated with each passing day, and in the end, they finished 15th.
The side will reflect on their performance and aim to perform well in the next split of PUBG Mobile esports.
It will also be intriguing to see how the teams from the European region hold up in the global event.
