Group A conclude their matches with an intense final game between Ahmad "AbuMakkah" Mujahid from Team Falcons and Levi "Levi de Weerd" Weerd from Team Gullit. Both players were one loss in at Day 1 and were looking to close the game with a win.
Levi started out with a great early lead on AbuMakkah securing two goals within the first 10 in-game minutes. However, the first goal from AbuMakkah with his Mbappe changed the entire dynamic of the game. The crowd went nuts after his first goal to support the home team.

AbuMakkah made a decent recovery in the next few minutes, and what followed was a cat and mouse chase between the two players. One took the lead while the other one chased them down as the match reached the endgame with the game going into overtime.
It seems within the support from the crowd, AbuMakkah was able to secure the one final goal then managed to defend the leading score till the end. AbuMakkah managed to secure two out of three games on Day 1 which is a decent achievement. Although the Goal Difference is still lacking a bit.
Jonny faces his third defeat
Following two back to back losses, Fnatic Jonny was aiming to redeem himself in the final match, but his ambitions were once again cut shot. This time, Mark "Mark11" Zakhary, came as the bearer of the bad news, taking him down with a massive four goal difference.
