The final match of the Upper Bracket of Group B was between Team Mahi and TempesT.

The first map was Haven, where both teams fought in an unyielding manner. However, after the first couple of rounds in the initial half, Team Mahi took off with a huge lead. After not letting go of a single round in the second half, Mahi secured victory in the first map with a score of 13-5.

The second map was Split, where TempesT looked fresh and attacked beautifully. But Mahi did not let that last long as they took over the scoreboard, leading with 6-4.

An unfortunate incident with HellffR's powercut led to the rest of the match being played in a 4v5 situation. This affected Mahi badly as they lost to TempesT with a score of 13-7.

The final map was Ascent, where Vibhor replaced HellffR. On this map, Mahi took the lead on the attacking side, gaining a massive advantage. Mahi did lose a round of pistols in the second half but did not give away any more rounds. They finally snatched victory with a score of 13-7 and were first in the group.

The Lower Bracket saw TempesT grabbing the 2nd spot in the group after defeating Kuch Bhi in a tight Valorant matchup. Hence qualifying for the ESPL Valorant Power Up India playoffs. The elimination process for Group C starts today and will be streamed live on the Skyesports YouTube Channel.
