Panda win PMPL Western EU Season 1 – How did they do it?
Just looking at their matches in the event, you can clearly see that they had an excellent performance throughout all of the tournament. They had a bit of a rough start in the first 2 rounds, but kept their kill count high. In their third round they got a 2nd placement with 6 kills. This gave them a solid amount of points and was already ranking within the top teams. A few games later (Round 6) they managed to get another 2nd with 7 kills, and the following games were just super consistent.
Round 7 they got 4th with 3 kills, Round 8 they placed 3rd with 8 eliminations, and in Round 9 they got their very first and only chicken dinner with 6 kills. In the rounds that followed we can see team Panda achieving 2nd, 3rd and 4th placements.
Their main winning factor was the points they kept receiving due to their very high kill count. In fact, the 2nd placing team, Destiny, got a total of 176 points after winning 4 games, but in return, they didn’t rack up as many kills.
What’s next?
With this event concluded, we must now look onto the PMPL EMEA Season 1. From this event we have Panda, Destiny as well as Godsent grabbing their own spot in the $150,000 USD event. The tournament will take place between the 24th and 27th of June.
