Skyesports Valorant League 2021 day 23 match recap

Map 1: Bind

After losing the first two rounds, Kolkata Tridents mowed down Mumbai Aces for the remainder of the first half of the map with a score of 10-2. They were really systematic in holding sites with their lineup. HaiVaan served a key role in Kolkata’s game with his initiator role on Skye. He not only brought a lot of utility to the fray, but he also scored a bunch of kills.

Mumbai Aces returned in the second half, but a major deficit in the first half proved to be fatal as the map ended with a 13-9 score in favor of Kolkata Tridents.

Kolkata Trident’s HaiVaan was a league above other players in terms of individual performance and game impact. He scored 23 kills on Skye and emerged as the MVP of the first map.
