Rocket League, DOTA 2, and eFOOTBALL were the three esports additions to the CWG games 2022. Of the three, it is Dota 2 where Indian players bagged the bronze. 

The Dota 2 team led by Moin Ejaz had unfortunately failed against Malaysia in the semi-finals but things turned around in their favor in the following match against New Zealand.

The Indian contingents included Moin Ejaz, Ketan Goyal, Abhishek Yadav, Shubham Goli, and Vishal Vernekar. 

Our guys had a clear victory in Game 1 but New Zealand players gave a tough game in the mid-game. However, gladly, Moin and the team fared well in the second game and secured the bronze medal.

Now, even though the victory is not officially counted in the medal count, the bronze medal in the Commonwealth is still praiseworthy. We congratulate Team India!
