Amdani gives India a perfect start, secures a spot in the Finals of 12th Esports World Championship

New Delhi, November 4: Riding on dominating performances, Moinuddin Amdani sealed a spot in the Finals of 12th Esports World Championship and gave India a winning start at the regional qualifiers.

Competing online in the South Asia region, an experienced Amdani started off with thrashing 4-0 and 10-1 victory against Sri Lanka in the best-of-three league match while he went onto register 4-0 and 2-0 win over Nepal in the second game to set-up the final against Sri Lanka.

Extending his unbeaten run, the Mumbai-boy Amdani was even more dominant in the best-of-five final against Sri Lanka where he notched-up a convincing 3-0, 7-0 and 2-0 win to secure a spot in the Esports World Championship Finals which is scheduled to take place in Eliat, Israel.

"I'm very excited for the Finals. Despite some initial internet hiccups, I was able to focus on my strategy of defending deep and outscoring my opponents on the counter-attack which gave me success," an elated Amdani said after the regional qualifiers.

After Amdani's sensational show in PES 2021, Tekken7 player Abhinav Tejan (on November 6) and Omkar Urunkar-led Indian DOTA Team will fight for the place in World Championship Finals on November 18 in their respective category. Five-member Team comprising Urunkar, Khaja Hussain, Amit Malwal, Omkar Gharat and Akshay Dhodi will compete in DOTA 2.
