Success In Singapore with Team Great Britain

Great Britains 2021 Signapore Global Esports Games silver medals.

After returning from the inaugural Global Esports Games in Singapore and catching up on some sleep, I am filled with immense pride and reflection on our journey. Our Dota 2 Women's team has secured a silver medal, marking a significant achievement in this historic event and britains first ever esports medal.

In the grand finals, we faced the host nation, Singapore. Our team showcased exceptional skill and determination, winning the first match in the best-of-three series. However, Singapore demonstrated remarkable resilience, leveling the series and ultimately clinching the gold after a hard-fought 80-minute decider.

Our Dota 2 Open team also displayed commendable effort. Competing against Singapore in the semi-finals, they faced a challenging match and concluded the tournament with a fourth-place finish. Their dedication, professionalism and sportsmanship throughout the competition were exemplary.

The Street Fighter V tournament saw Kim-Phillipe (The4Philzz) deliver an impressive performance, going undefeated in the group stage and progressing to the semi-finals after defeating Brazil 3-1. Despite a hard-fought match, he fell to Chinese Taipei and later narrowly missed out on bronze against Pakistan, finishing fourth overall.

Reflecting on our experiences, I am inspired by the resilience our teams have exhibited and incredibly happy to show the world, just how strong the british esports scene truley is. These moments of triumph and challenge are invaluable lessons that will fuel our growth and preparation for future competitions.

I extend my deepest gratitude to our players, coaching staff, and supporters who have been instrumental in our journey. As we celebrate our achievements, we remain committed to striving for excellence and elevating British esports on the global stage.
