In a valiant Grand Final battle that lasted over two-hours, the Philippines’ Expendables Counter-Strike team battled hard against Thailand’s ZIGMA, only to eventually concede to the latter two rounds to one to become the first runners-up of the ROG Masters 2021 - the company’s first online Asia Pacific esports tournament.
Before being defeated by ZIGMA, the Expendables defeated a formidable group of regional opponents including India’s Headshot Esports in the quarterfinals, and a tournament favorite, Hong Kong’s 100Ping in the semifinals before succumbing two rounds to one, to Thailand’s ZIGMA in one of the most exciting and competitive matches in the tournament.
