Thailand’s ZIGMA Counter-Strike team have been crowned the Champions of the ROG Masters APAC 2021, the company’s first online Asia Pacific esports tournament. The team walks away with USD 10,000 and are the first ever winners of the Counter Strike tournament.
ZIGMA won the championship after defeating another tournament favorite, Singapore’s Huat Zai in the semifinals and then the Philippines’ Expendables in a grueling final match that lasted over two hours.
The Road to Becoming Champions
In the first round, ZIGMA won 16 to 10 in the map: Overpass, but in the second round, Expendables fought back hard after being down 14:9 at one point to win 14:16 in Mirage. ZIGMA then secured its victory with a 16:9 score in the final round in Inferno.
In total, ZIGMA played nine rounds over the course of the tournament and won all except the single loss of the second round to the Expendables in the final match.
Audiences can view the replay of the final match of ZIGMA versus Expendables on ROG’s official Twitch channel, with details available via the official Tournament website. You can also view more about the tournament at the CS Liquipedia ROG Masters 2021 page.
