The second map was quite close. Team Mahi won on the Bind map with a score of 13-10. This map got fans to hope for a comeback from Team Mahi. This was the only map that Global Esports lost in the Valorant tournament.

The hopes of a comeback were slain after the next two maps were convincingly won by Global Esports. The third map was Icebox, a map which Global Esports has always had an advantage in. It won the map with a score of 13-8 in its favor.

The final map was Ascent, where Team Mahi was beaten by a score of 13-4.

The bar has now been set very high for the Indian Valorant scene. Global Esports beat Team Mahi in three consecutive matches this week.

SkRossi was remarkable throughout. The player was fantastic with his site entries and the Operator. Global Esports was phenomenal, with him popping off heads and Hellranger controlling the strategy.

What an unbelievable form SKRossi is in! Unmatched performance throughout the tournament! Congratulations SK Rossi for winning the MVP@skrossigg @GlobalEsportsIn @playVALORANTsa @ESPL_GLOBAL pic.twitter.com/iSsLnZBIJg
