Despite the odds, Revenant Esports went from fourth seed to champions of the Pokémon UNITE Asia Champions League 2023 Indian Division.
Their grand victory over Marcos Gaming secured the team a USD$5000 cash prize and a slot to represent India at the Pokémon UNITE Asia Champions League 2023 offline final in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Revenant Esports played phase two of the tournament to perfection
After their lackluster performance during phase one of the tournament, fans doubted how far Revenant could go in the elimination matches. They had the longest and most delicate path to qualifications, alongside Gods Reign as the fourth and fifth seeded teams.
Losing any series meant immediate elimination from the tournament, and they needed to at least win their next three series to guarantee a spot in the finals.
