We really appreciate the support and hope you continue to follow and enjoy the journey with us.”

Although disappointed by the result, Donstu Esports earned recognition as runners-up after a strong tournament showing that pushed the champions throughout the final.

Thank you, Abu Dhabi. Over the past two days, my brothers, my tigers fought hard, and I’m very proud of what we’ve shown. We’ve done the maximum possible, so it will be very difficult for other teams to catch up with us in this championship. Overall, it’s been a big tournament with strong competition and worthy opponents, hosted in a very well-organized and impressive event. We’re grateful for the experience.”
