Made in Thailand, the third seed from Thailand, was Enigma Gaming’s first opponent. The game progressed on three different maps. Enigma gaming was smashed by opponents during the nerve-wracking period despite controlling the game till halftime. 1-2 Engima’s loss to MITH placed them in the Lower Brackets, where they faced Cerberus, who were considered underdogs in comparison to the major names. Fans were expecting Enigma gaming to pull out a comfortable win against Cerberus and advance further against Alter Ego.
Unfortunately, Cerberus Gaming defeated Enigma Gaming 1-2 in their elimination game. Despite the fact that this was their first time representing South Asia and competing against international competition, they put forth a strong showing.
