Thank you so much.
The two of you have done so much for us.
I don't know...
It's okay dear, absolutely no issues.
Actually Joanna, we should be thanking you.
For him.
Look at this dad. Do you like it?
Oh, that is solid! I love it!
Jo... Joanna?
Same pinch.
Love you, dad.
Yeah?
I just wanted to say that...
Don't.
Talking about it is pointless, Raghu.
Actually, the joke is on me
because I thought I could trust you.
And you know what hurts the most?
I asked you.
And you still lied to my face.
And you had so many chances to tell me and you just lied.
I can't have liars on my team, Raghu.
So, no matter what happens today,
whether we win or lose,
you are still out of Gamerlog.
Alright guys!
Are you excited?
Okay, you can do a little better.
I am going to ask again, are you guys excited?
Okay, I would like to welcome all of you
to the biggest event in Mumbai E-sports.
-Sit. -Okay.
-Comfortable? -Yeah.
Hello.
I am Paresh Shah.
Who are you?
Tiwari.
That's it? Just Tiwari. No first name or last name?
That is okay. It happens.
Raghu Paresh Shah.
He is our son.
We call him Ragla.
He is participating in this competition too.
Let's quickly go over the format of the tournament.
Eight teams will go head-to-head in this knockout format.
Which means every single game could be make or break.
5 vs 5 set-up with one map per match.
Meaning we are talking about 10 rounds
of pure emotions and drama!
Do you like games?
Don't you think that playing these violent games
is distorting children's minds?
You're starting with this again?
-Didn't we talk about this? -Yes, yes.
I am just explaining my point of view, Soni. Calm down.
So, what do you think Mr Trivedi?
First of all his name is Tiwari, not Trivedi.
And why are you bothering him?
I'm just asking. Let me talk. Just wait.
So, what do you think?
Stop talking
or I will break your legs.
You can speak Gujarati?
Now all that's left to find out is
who will take home the massive grand prize of 50 lakh rupees?
All that money, and this magnificent trophy,
which team is destined to take it all home?
Do you guys want to know?
So give it up for all our teams, come on!
So guys, it is time to begin the very first match of TOC.
Team Slayer Vs the country's number one E-sports squad Team Wolf Clan.
And leading this team is the pride and joy of Indian E-sports,
the one and only Ishaan the 'Lone Wolf' Awasthi.
Just look at that, Suhas.
I mean, the atmosphere changed as soon as Ishaan stepped out.
Looks like they have come with a vengeance today.
Of course they did, they are the defending champions after all.
I am sure they will do whatever it takes to defend their title.
Honestly I am glad that they will be playing in the very first match.
Really gives the other teams a chance to see
the level of competition at this tournament.
Okay teams, it's game on!
Round one.
Planting bomb. Cover me.
One sec, Nat.
Alright, Wolf Clan is dominating this game.
I would like to give the other teams some advice, "Stay out of their way."
Lone Wolf is carrying his team on his shoulders.
I mean, even without the rest of his team
Ishaan could defeat Team Slayer alone.
And with that the first match is over and let's be honest Suhas,
it was completely one-sided.
People say one-sided matches are boring.
But I would happily pay double to watch matches like these.
Wolf Clan are the first team to secure a spot in the Semi-Finals.
And honestly, I am not even surprised, Maithili.
And as expected, Wolf Clan got a clean sweep in their very first game.
With a score of 6-0 they sent team Slayer to the graveyard.
Team Wolf Clan have tasted the sweet, sweet taste of victory.
And if you guys want to taste it too then try
Taze's new banana flavour with fruit bits, okay?
Don't forget to shake it before you sip it, okay?
So boys, first match, you remember the strategy?
Well, well, well. Look who is here.
Break a leg, Jo.
And actually, one small favour from all of you.
Please don't get eliminated in the very first match.
Because then it'd be such a downer for me not to get the chance.
You know? To embarrass all of you publicly.
You know that stunt with the tires?
Well.
Cheap.
You know Jo, you really are naive.
This isn't a game anymore. It's personal. It's war.
And sometimes, in war you need to get your hands dirty.
You're right.
Yeah?
-Bro! -Are you mad?
That will hurt for the next three days.
Okay that's us boys. Let's go.
Okay guys, are we ready for the next match?
By the way Maithili, I have never seen team Gamerlog play before.
Well, that's because today is
Team Gamerlog's first professional tournament.
Which means, there will definitely be no shortage of surprises.
Of course! And let's not forget the big story today
is the return of Joanna Rodriguez AKA Mojo Jojo.
After one whole year.
-And do you remember? She was so good. -Who doesn't?
And Gamerlog's sniper Raghu Shah AKA Maverick
is also making his professional debut today.
Will he prove his skills at this stage
or will he shatter under the pressure to perform?
We just have to wait and watch.
And it looks like both teams have settled
and the audience is on the edge of their seat.
Well then, what are we waiting for?
Okay teams, it's game on!
Round one.
No, no, no Maverick. You can't be that slow on pulling the trigger.
What are you doing, man?
6_pack behind you, behind you!
Oh no! 6_pack is down.
It looks like Chaos Carnage is in the mood for chaos today.
My goodness, I don't think Gamerlog's entry fragger
had positioned himself properly.
Headshot! If Gamerlog has Maverick then Raven has Hammer.
And it sure looks like it's hammer-time.
Maverick, what the hell are you doing?
And Maithili, if Gamerlog wants to move on to the next round,
their AWPer Maverick really needs to wake up.
And with that we have reached the halfway mark of the game.
And it is surely looking like Raven is going to sweep the floor with Gamerlog.
It doesn't look like Mojo Jojo will be able to complete her redemption arc.
Her dream of winning TOC will remain incomplete.
It's a shame but if Gamerlog loses this round
then they will be eliminated at the very first stage of the tournament.
And I can tell you with experience, this will be bad for their future image.
Let's freaking do this.
And the bomb has been planted and Mojo Jojo is racing to the bomb site.
But she needs to be extremely careful.
Oh and that's a beautiful kill!
I have only seen moves like these at international tournaments!
She is brilliant!
Yes Jo!
And with that Gamerlog has finally made a comeback in this match.
Well, it's crystal clear Suhas, you can take the girl out of the game
but you cannot take the game out of the girl.
Moving to Bomb site A.
Three in a row! Take that Jo!
Perfect execution.
What are you doing? Just watch.
Well, it's a good thing that despite Maverick's weakness
Gamerlog are still standing strong.
And obviously, all credit goes to Mojo Jojo and their IGL Macha Iyer.
And with that the scores are level and we've entered sudden death?
And I would like to tell the viewers at home that sudden death...
What is going on? Are we winning or are they losing? What is happening?
Maithili, I am telling you, I knew this game would be exciting
but I didn't know it would happen so quickly. It's amazing.
I swear Suhas, I mean the scores are levelled up
and we're moving into sudden death in the very first match.
So, get ready for the final round!
Mav, we need cover at A. Where are you?
Okay, I am moving towards A. Moving towards A.
Oh and that's back-to-back kills for Mojo Jojo!
Oh my God, looks like she is on fire today.
She is so awesome man.
I mean, the way she is diverting Team Raven players,
it's looking like the classic Mojo Jojo is back.
And the winner is Team Gamerlog!
Who have just made an explosive entry into the semi-finals.
Looking at their first few rounds, no one could have guessed
they would turn the tables like that.
I mean, wow. Just wow.
But Suhas, the actual question to be asked here is,
can their AWPer Maverick support them?
That's a very fair question, Maithili,
you know, because they will definitely need a sniper in the coming matches.
And it's high time that Maverick starts improving his form.
Okay friends, there is another thing that is amazing
and that is Taze's brand new cherry red flavour. Let's try it.
It's actually good man. Do try it.
Oh Maverick!
Thank God you didn't join us dude.
Thank you.
Am I right?
Alright, let's get ready for our
first Semi-final of the Tournament of Champions.
Team Soul Crushers vs Team Wolf Clan!
Look at yourself.
What have you done to yourself?
Yes, and I played so bad.
Yes, Joanna kicked me out of the team.
Why won't she take me back? What do I do now?
Shut up.
That is what you're thinking, right?
Let's do one thing.
Let's go back to the start.
Raghu, why did you leave your home,
your parents, and your engineering degree and come to Mumbai?
For Joanna?
No.
To become a professional gamer.
But so much has happened with Joanna,
I need to solve that too, right?
I don't know how to convince her.
Let the world go to hell,
and think about yourself.
Just do what you know how to do.
Just do what you did when you were a kid
for 16 hours a day while hiding from your dad.
Just do what you did in the winter, summer,
when you were sick, under all kinds of conditions and pressures.
Just do
what you were born to do.
Gaming.
Raghu.
Today, your future is in your hands.
Literally.
And with that they have secured their tenth consecutive career victory
Wolf Clan has completely crushed Soul Crushers.
And now it is time for our second semi-final,
Team Gamerlog vs Team Aurora E-sports.
You know, when these two teams last met,
Aurora E-sports defeated Gamerlog in an intense tie-breaker.
And I really hope that this game is just as interesting.
But Maithili, where is Gamerlog's AWPer Maverick?
Do you think he lost his confidence after that last match?
I hope not.
Oh, there he is!
He is here, he is here. Maverick is here.
And now that everyone is in their seats, Maithili?
Okay guys, it's game on!
Good shot, Maverick.
Who knows what Mojo Jojo and Gamerlog discussed backstage.
Maybe they heard our commentary.
Because Maverick is on a roll.
Oh and that is just unlucky.
6_pack was moving ahead smoothly
but Collective Glory timed his shot beautifully.
But Maverick, what is he up to?
Holy shit! I think this sequence should be nominated for move of the year.
Because what did Maverick just do, man?
I have never seen a jumping double kill.
Well done, man.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -I'm on it. I got them.
Goin in, Macha, going in Macha, going in!
Good shot! IGL Macha has just executed a textbook pincer move.
Just goes to show that classic strategies never go out of fashion.
One?
What did he just... Two?
What is happening?
But the bomb is still active! Maverick... Three!
He just killed three militants.
Maverick... Four!
Oh my goodness!
And he has defused the bomb! All hail Maverick!
The score is now 5-0 and team Gamerlog
is literally three minutes away from securing a spot in the finals.
Aurora E-sports are in a lot of trouble,
do you think they will be able to make a comeback
or will Gamerlog knock them out of TOC.
Wait, wait, wait. I am right there.
What's happening? What's happening?
What is happening, Maithili?
Why is Gamerlog's form suddenly in a slump?
I am as confused as you are, Suhas.
Gamerlog is suddenly dropping their lead and it is shocking.
I mean, one-by-one all of their players are getting weaker.
And that is that, ladies and gentlemen.
With that kill, team Gamerlog's last member goes down.
And team Gamerlog
has been eliminated from the Tournament of Champions.
-Give it up for them guys. -Well played boys!
Honestly, they have already become heroes for me.
Because they might have lost the match
but their undying spirit has won over my heart.
Get ready everyone, because up next we have
our finale, team Aurora E-sports vs Team Wolf Clan!
Guys, let's go.
Hey, have you seen team Gamerlog?
Yes, they're in the lounge.
Wait, wait. Team Gamerlog?
They have asked you guys to wait.
-Why? -How would I know?
Just wait. Yes, coming to the stage.
What the hell is going on?
Jo!
Check this.
Guys, guys. You have to look at this.
Is something wrong?
What happened, Soni?
How would I know? Why are you asking me?
If that guy says something on the mic then we will know.
What is going on?
Ladies and gentlemen, while the semi-finals were underway
between team Gamerlog and team Aurora E-sports,
our technical team saw some problems with team Aurora E-sports' desktops.
After a thorough inspection we found that a player from
Aurora E-sports went against the rules and
installed a third-party application.
Which was identified as an aiming assist.
This unauthorised app gave unfair advantage over the team Gamerlog.
And hence, a decision has been made.
Team Aurora E-sports has been disqualified from the TOC.
-What? -Which means,
Team Gamerlog goes through to the finals!
Oh yeah, baby!
-Yes! -Yes!
Yes! Yes! Motherfucker! Son of a bitch!
Come on, come on, come on.
And now that Gamerlog have reached the finals,
we are set for the most epic finale this tournament has ever seen.
I mean, a final between the defending champions and debutants?
Things like that only happen in movies.
But before all that, let's meet with both of our captains.
So Lone Wolf, tell me.
How does it feel to be facing off against Team Gamerlog in today's finals?
Um... I'm really sorry, who?
Uh Gamerlog? Joanna's team?
Oh! Right...
Dude, you're comparing defending champions to a bunch of noobs?
TOC is like a dream.
For me, for my teammates.
For the Gamerlog family.
And it feels absolutely surreal to be in the finals.
Gamerlog!
Dude, you guys are lucky.
Because not every E-sports team has the chance to lose to Wolf Clan.
Alright guys, the moment we've all been waiting for is finally here.
Everything we've worked so hard for.
Someone usually gives a pep talk at a time like this so,
if anyone has anything to say...
I want to say something.
First off, I am sorry.
Really sorry, guys.
I shouldn't have done what I did.
I understand that now.
But we can't change the past.
Only we know what we went through to reach the finals.
We all know how much this means to us.
Someone said to me,
it takes more than strength, stamina, reflexes and strategies to win TOC.
There is one more very important thing you need.
Belief.
The undying faith that when you're in the game,
no one can even dare to touch you.
So guys,
as long as we have this belief today,
it doesn't matter whether we win or lose.
Because we will do something that people will never forget.
There is a saying in Gujarati.
The cow went to graze and the world can go to hell.
It means Wolf Clan is fu...
I mean, let's destroy them.
What was it? The cow went to graze and the world can go to hell.
Let's do this, guys.
The cow went to graze and the world can go to hell.
Maithili, this tournament was totally worth the entry price.
On one hand we have Gamerlog
who made it here with hardwork and a little bit of luck.
And on the other hand, we have Wolf Clan
who are treating this tournament like their home and showing complete dominance.
Let's welcome on stage our two finalists.
Team Wolf Clan and Team Gamerlog!
So guys, let's give a huge round of applause
and begin the grand finale of the Tournament of Champions.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
5, 4, 3, 2, 1!
Game on!
Round one.
Maverick, let's get to higher ground.
Staircase, now.
I am in the kill zone, need support.
Following you, Rosho. Will cover you.
Shit, man.
Despite winning the first round, team Gamerlog seems to be struggling now.
Team Wolf Clan have come back into their groove.
The score stands at 2 - 1.
I am down, I am down. Need support.
Come on, good going.
Oh! With that Mojo Jojo goes down.
I think Ishaan is taking revenge against Joanna for quitting his team.
Rosho, let's do this.
Tausif!
Come on, come on, Maverick. Almost got this.
Oh! What a shot!
Oh my God, we are seeing a classic one man show here.
Because it seems like Ishaan will wrap up the show himself.
Yeah, yeah, it seems like Wolf Clan
is planning on taking off the underwear of these underdogs.
And we have reached the halfway mark,
it is time for both teams to switch sides.
Team Gamerlog will be guardians, and Team Wolf Clan will be militants.
What is going on? Can someone please tell me?
Your Ragla is losing.
-What? -Yeah.
Maithili, Wolf Clan is clearly leading on this map.
They just need to win two more rounds.
And if Gamerlog doesn't bring out an ace,
then without a doubt, Wolf Clan will remain the undefeated champions.
Soni, this Ragla...
Crush their balls, Ragla!
Do it!
Okay teams,
for the last time today.
It's game on!
Going into the hospital area. Maverick, cover me.
Go, go, go!
Careful, Saurabh.
Shit! Guys, Rosho is out.
Rosho is out!
Throwing smoke grenade.
We're running out of time. I'm moving in.
Hospital ward is clear.
Moving towards the bomb.
-Yes! Yes! -Amazing kill shots by Maverick.
He has single-handedly managed the entire show.
I am telling you, Maithili,
this is Maverick's world and we are all just living in it.
What a move by Mojo Jojo. What a move!
And just like that, Joanna has given Ishaan a resounding rebuttal.
Mojo Jojo proving that quitting Wolf Clan was probably the right choice.
Watch your back.
Well done, bro.
6_pack, turn around!
That is some amazing teamwork by Gamerlog.
Now it's starting to feel like a finale.
Yeah, take that.
Bitch!
And Ishaan once again showing us all why he is defending champion.
I mean, only experience could create a play like that and nothing else.
The score is 5 all and Wolf Clan
is giving this tournament an extremely dramatic spin.
We started the tournament with sudden death
and we'll be ending the tournament with sudden death as well.
And Suhas, just look at Ishaan!
I mean, Ishaan is clearly amping up the crowd to get under Gamerlog's skin.
You can see that.
Three minutes. Only three minutes left.
Will the underdogs be able to steal this crown in three minutes?
Or will the defending champions once again beat their opponents
and prove that you can't mess with the boss.
So let's hope for the best.
And game on!
Where are these guys?
Macha? I don't think I can...
Jo, don't worry.
We will get them.
Let's go.
Jo, Jo, Jo.
Where the hell are they firing from?
Oh no!
We're under heavy fire! We're under heavy fire!
Maverick, where the hell are you?
-In position. -What the fuck do we do, Mav?
Guys! I am covering you. Move in.
That is Jaggi, he is our support.
In game and in life.
That is Saurabh, he is our entry fragger.
The first one in,
usually the first one out.
Jo, what do we do?
We need you, Macha.
Let me distract them.
Give them hell, boys!
That is Mahesh.
He is a bit of a diva,
but that is only because he is the most experienced.
6_pack, Maverick, get to the bomb site.
Copy, I am going in!
Don't you think my lap is comfy?
Relax dude, you got too excited last time.
So I went through that for no good reason?
It will be a good memory eventually.
I am telling you bro, our telepathy is too strong.
Laal Saand!
No time to freeze.
Get to the bomb site.
Now!
Damn it! I am out of bullets.
We don't have time.
Maverick.
I'm diverting them,
you end it.
Mahesh bhai, I'm diverting them, you end it.
Oh my God, Maithili! Can you believe it?
With that amazing move, team Gamerlog has won
the Tournament of Champions.
After a nail-biting finale, the underdogs have risen to the occasion.
There is no future in video games, but he won't listen!
Are you sure this kid is ours?
Or did the hospital accidentally give us the wrong child?
To hell with his first day.
Is he playing Alphastrike for the first time in his life?
At this rate, forget the TOC finals,
we will be eliminated in the first round.
It's over.
All of our hard work was worth nothing.
TOC will start in a few hours and we're not going to make it.
All because of you.
In this story of David vs Goliath, look at how the mighty have fallen!
Gamerlog has defeated Wolf Clan, can you believe it?
Amazing, amazing, simply amazing!
Come on Gamerlog, what are you waiting for?
The trophy and the prize money is yours, go get it.
Three, two, one,
yay!
Hold this.
Raghu?
I just wanted...
Yes, thank you for everything, Joanna.
I know. I remember.
I mean, I am out of Gamerlog, right?
Raghu?
So whatever happens today,
whether we win or lose,
you're still out of Gamerlog.
Watch out Gamerlog.
The game has just begun.
