Gambit Esports, a professional E-Sports organization in Russia, unexpectedly shot ahead of their competition during Katowice 2021, winning against Virtus Pro, in late February after a switch-up in team members. The tournament is a chance for American and Russian E-Sports teams to show off their rivalry, demonstrating the Russian teams’ dominance in video games and reinforcing their winning streaks.
This year’s winners defeated the second-place team Virtus Pro, 3 wins to 1, in a best of 5 matches. Gambit Esports’ win at the large E-Sports competition solidified a recent upward trend for the team previously known as an underdog.
