We have been paying a lot of attention to our strategies and practicing a lot in the hopes of a podium finish. Getting the chance to represent the nation in the very first Commonwealth Esports Championship is a very sweet reward to show for all of the efforts we have taken in playing this game at the highest level.

Earlier, in the semifinals, the Indian team was defeated by the Malaysian team. At the 2022 Commonwealth Games, esports will be featured as a demonstration event; as a result, any medals won in this competition will not be factored into the final total.
