Project Eversio; Making Malta Proud
In recent European tournaments, mainly the Eden Development Championship, Project Eversio haven’t been doing so well. However, when contrasted with their results in the ESEA Main League, the team has performed exceptionally well, currently sitting in 28th place with a 9/5 win/loss streak. They definitely have a solid opportunity making a name for Malta, as well as Project Eversio, but we’ll have to wait and see how it all plays out.
