Türkiye Secure Global Esports Games Title in Mumbai
The event, originally set to take place in 2025, is the Global Esports Federation’s flagship event, which happens once a year. Due to a delay it was played from 20 to 22 March, with seven international squads battling it out.
Türkiye managed to dominate their group 3-0, not dropping a single map in their best of three matches, dismantling Mongolia, South Africa, and Argentina on their way to the playoffs. In the playoffs they faced a strong Australia side, before making an impressive comeback against Mongolia in the upper bracket final after going down 0-1.
The Turks headed into the grand final with a 1-0 advantage, once again facing Mongolia, who defeated hosts India in the lower bracket final. This time Türkiye took an early 2-0 lead, which quickly turned into a more competitive 2-1 score line, before closing it out in impressive 3-1 fashion.
The Global Esports Games will return for the next integration of the event in Los Angeles, where we’ll once again see some impressive national teams battle it out.
