Delhi only managed to win the 7th and 10th rounds in the whole map. Bengaluru seemed unstoppable with both of their duelists, putting on a show. LightningFast was on point with his Viper as well, with the toxin walls giving Bengaluru cover for their back-to-back A executes. The 13-2 series was an absolute stomp and Delhi Dragons seemed disoriented throughout the map. All of the players in Bengaluru had kills in the range of 13 and 16.
