The Dell Singer Online Esports Showdown 2021 by Gamer.LK successfully concluded on 8th June 2021, with 350+ matches played across 14 game titles and a total of 3,300+ registered participants. By the end of Showdown 2021, Alpha Esports was crowned the overall best clan with the most points, with Noob Alliance in 2nd and Phoenix GaminG taking 3rd. Maximum eSports won the award for the clan with the highest clan participation across both mobile and PC/Console games, with 429 players. 2nd place was taken by Alpha Esports, with Wolfgang e-Sports in 3rd. In terms of medal performance, Noob Alliance was the winner, with 2 golds and 2 silvers to their name, while Phoenix GaminG was in 2nd with 2 gold, 1 silver and 4 bronze, and Alpha Esports in 3rd with 1 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze. Alpha Esports won their 2nd clan award by taking 1st place for best clan performance in the mobile games titles, with Noob Alliance in 2nd and Phoenix GaminG in 3rd. Maximum eSports also won the best clan performance based on PC/Console games, with Phoenix GaminG in 2nd and Wolfgang e-Sports in 3rd.
Alpha Esports’ win at Showdown was due to their stellar performance at the 2 most competitive games at the event. They placed 1st in PUBG Mobile which had the highest registered participants with over 900+ players for the tournament. They also managed to secure 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in Free Fire, which had the 2nd highest participation rate with 500+ players.
Throughout the tournament there were many action-packed matches, with the best teams/players in Sri Lanka fighting for the top spot. This was because the majority of the games played in the tournament were ranked matches, meaning the national rankings for some of these teams/players were on the line, and the bragging rights as the best team/player in Sri Lanka. Many of the top teams/players were able to keep their spot as the best in the country, such as; Sara Kollo in DOTA 2, EXT – L2K in Rainbow Six Siege, nA – THE×MØB in Call of Duty Mobile and M-eS – Team IWNL in Call of Duty 4. However, there were a fair share of upsets, with the #1 teams/players losing out to challengers who fought for the top spot.
One example of this is, PnX – Noob kINg in Clash Royale, who beat the #3 and #2 best Clash Royale players in the country all the way to the grand finals. Here, he had to face off against the current #1, who he defeated 3 – 0 to win the tournament and the title as the #1 best Clash Royale player in Sri Lanka. Similarly, AE – SLG managed to outplay some of the top PUBG Mobile squads in the country in order to take home 1st place for their clan.
Noob Alliance’s team Vanguard also put up an amazing performance in the League of Legends finals, against their rivals PnX BLACK, who had bested them the last time they fought at the Dell Gaming Academy Face-Off. However, this time nA – Vanguard pulled through and won 1st place and managed to move from the 4th best team in the country to the current #1 League of Legends team in Sri Lanka.
During the Valorant event at Showdown, the tournament favourite and #1 Valorant team in the country, UG – ZeGG e-Sports lost in a BO1 against EvoX – Team Tenacity at the quarterfinals. This allowed the current #3 best team in the country, WG – GunSlingerS the opportunity to nab the 1st place title by going 2 – 0 in both the semifinals and the grand finals against M-eS – Revolutionary Gamers.
The current king of Sri Lanka eFootball, nA – SID also had a tough time during the competition. During the upper bracket semifinals, nA – SID lost to PnX – Dumin, which forced him into the lower bracket. However, he fought his way through the lower bracket finals against PnX – Dishan, in order for a shot at redemption in the grand finals. Although his opponent was PnX – Dumin, who had knocked him into the lower bracket, and keeping the win streak going, PnX – Dumin beat the #1 best player, and took the crown as the top eFootballer in Sri Lanka.

The grand finals of the Women’s Cyber Games 2021 Free Fire Solo Battle Royale concluded last month, and witnessed the top 12 players out of the 80+ participants fight it out for the title of champion. Throughout the Bo3 series, all the players were playing very tactfully, never rushing into fights and doing their level best to secure placement points across all 3 matches. However, only “GTA MS BOTI”, was able to outplay her opponents to win the entire series.
During the 1st match, Neha “HB NEHA” Bandara was able to walk away the victor, with “NEGU BABA” in 2nd place. Both participants had enough kill points as well to guarantee a good position on the leaderboard. Although, during the 2nd match, the previous match winner “HB NEHA” was picked off first. This placed her at a terrible disadvantage, not being able to accumulate any points for the 2nd match. Instead however, “GTA MS BOTI” took the center stage and was able to win the match, with “NEGU BABA” coming in 4th. The final match of the Bo3 also went the way of “GTA MS BOTI”, she was able to survive till the final zone and take out her last opponent.

The Call of Duty Mobile Solo Battle Royale tournament at the 2021 Women’s Cyber Game ended on the 18th of April, and saw some of the best female COD Mobile players duke it out for the top spot.
Match #1 of the finals was won by Nuwanthi “DC Nuwa” Mannapperuma, who prioritised survival over kills, unlike her final opponent – MS.NIKI. This only required DC Nuwa to defeat MS.NIKI, which she did and won her match 1. During the 2nd match however, DC Nuwa was only able to place 10th, making her chances of winning difficult. On the other hand, Daariya “STØRM Dariya” Azim, who had placed 11th in the previous round found her rhythm which allowed her to close out game #2 with a 1st place finish and 4 kills on the scoreboard. Keeping her momentum going, STØRM Dariya continued her aggressive playstyle, while her opponents continued to choose survival over fighting. But this worked out to STØRM Dariya’s advantage, resulting in her closing the final game with 5 kills and the #1 spot. Thanks to the kill points she accumulated and the back to back wins during match 2 & 3, she was able to win the entire 2021 Women’s Cyber Games Call of Duty Mobile tournament.
