The Pokemon UNITE WD Black Cup has come to a conclusion after some intense action with each time putting up their best to rise to the top. The tournament featured a total prize fund of $2000 and took place from February 1 to 6. Team S8UL took home the title, defeating Marcos Gaming by a score of 4-2.
The first part of the tournament, which determined the two finalists, was contested amongst the four invited teams over the course of four days. Each club played six matches in the Double Round Robin style during the League Stage.
Beginning with outstanding results, Team S8UL continued to perform consistently throughout the campaign. The team earned the top place by winning four of its six league games. With a strong comeback, Marcos Gaming was able to take second place and advanced to the finals. Revenant and Gods Reign were eliminated.
Team S8UL’s impressive performance
The top two teams engaged in a Bo7-style championship match on February 6. In the first round, Team S8UL played really well, exerting pressure on their rivals. Tensei scored 124 goals, had four knockouts, 12 assists, and caused 42076 damage, earning him the title of Player of the Game.
In the following two rounds, S8UL continued to prevail, leading Marcos Gaming 3-0. Might’s impressive performance with 208 goals, six knockouts, and 44263 damage earned him Player of the Game honours in the second game. Additionally, Cursed performed admirably in the third round.
With an incredible comeback in the fourth game, spearheaded by their top player Kyurem, Marcos Gaming earned their first victory. Due to a good showing by Meruem in the fifth round, they also prevailed, maintaining their momentum and confidence.
However, Marcos Gaming was unable to hold off S8UL for too long and dropped both the sixth game and the championship. Gods Reign, the Pokemon UNITE India Open winner, had a dismal tournament, coming in last place in the League Stage. Third-placed Revenant Esports finished with three victories and 386 average goals.
