The India DOTA 2 team will compete for the bronze medal, however the Rocket League team was unable to proceed past their group round matches. Despite the fact that these medals will not be added to the country’s medal total, earning one during the CWG’s debut esports event would be a tremendous accomplishment. In their first group round encounter, the Rocket League were beaten 3-0 by Canada in a Best of Five series. The Indians suffered comparable setbacks against Wales and England, forcing them to exit from the Commonwealth Esports Championship early in the group round.
Day 3 – Update !
Team India (DOTA) will play the Bronze Medal match against New Zealand tomorrow (7th Aug).Wishing the team very best, lets get it boyz! @narendramodi @AmitShah @ianuragthakur @Rajeev_GoI @NisithPramanik @WeAreTeamIndia @IndiaSports @INOXMovies#indianesports pic.twitter.com/xNPA0NWPI0

In DOTA 2, India won convincingly against Wales, had a bye against Trinidad and Tobago, but fell against England. They advanced to the semi-finals but were unable to defeat Malaysia’s squad. They will now compete for a bronze medal.
