28-7-2024 19:45

The French organization has secured its first notable LAN win in almost six years.

Young gun Graviti starred in the opening map versus The MongolZ

3DMAX have emerged victorious in the final of Skyesports Championship 2024, besting event-favorites The MongolZ to lay claim to the tournament's $120,000 grand prize.

Bryan "⁠Maka⁠" Canda's troops entered the quarter-finals of the event with a 3-1 group stage record, facing just a single overtime loss at the hands of Eternal Fire.

Once in the playoffs, the French side raised eyebrows with wins over Lukas "⁠gla1ve⁠" Rossander's ENCE and Aurora to book a place in the finals versus The MongolZ.

The final series of the Mumbai event kicked off on 3DMAX's pick of Anubis, where the Frenchmen recovered from an opening pistol loss thanks to stellar efforts from Filip "⁠Graviti⁠" Brankovic, who fuelled a 9-3 CT-side half with a 2.08 rating on the defense.

A well-played 1v3 from Pierre "⁠Ex3rcice⁠" Bulinge in the second pistol was the nail in the coffin for The MongolZ on Anubis, as 3DMAX bagged their pick with a 13-4 scoreline.

The MongolZ's pick of Ancient began in a far more competitive fashion, with 3DMAX eking out a 7-5 lead at halftime after starting with a 1-4 deficit, but Maka's men failed to drop a round in the second half, snagging a 13-5 scoreline, and along with it, the Skyesports Championship 2024 trophy.

Not arguing English with a non-native speaker as you're still wrong, but seeing as 3dmax also never won anything a decade+ ago, I think he's wrong no matter what way you want to spin his statement,

Wasn't the whole event mired in controversy from day 1 due to the delays and a team dropping out due to poor conditions?

2024-07-28 20:58

Yeah but for the India it is pretty good

2024-07-28 21:30

Let's see if they pay out. 10/90, I'd say.

2024-07-29 00:00

2024-07-28 22:30

mongilz overrated AF Great turnaround by skyesports. I'm sure they've gained a ton of experience hosting event that would benifit them in the future.

2024-07-28 22:35

Long time comin.. keen to see 3dmax comin for some of these check stealers

2024-07-29 01:08

this pretty much guaranteed us getting 3dmax stickers

2024-07-29 02:03

something about this event is tainted. i cant bring myself to believe this is 100% legit

2024-07-29 02:59

I mean well played to 3dmax for finally winning a tournament but at the end of the day the only two good teams that were there were eternal fire which they lost too and MongolZ who just didn’t show up whatsoever in the final, but again well played especially considering the conditions they had to deal with on the first two days, hopefully you make the next major for them stickers :)
