Match Briefing – The Bracket
For this event, Project Eversio was represented by Bungy and Vella999 due to the event being in a Duo’s format. They first played team Nexus, which they beat in both games, (2-1 & 5-2) to progress to the next stage. Then came Valid Unit, which was expected to be a much tougher opponent for Eversio. Unfortunately for Valid, Bungy and Vella999’s defense was too strong. They ended up losing the first game 6-0, and the second game 6-3. Definitely a crushing defeat, but the blues were too strong.
Elite Gaming was the next opponent for Project Eversio. Here they won 8-2 in the first game, and 3-2 in the second game. This victory got them into the semi-finals of the upper bracket versus Small island. This seemed like it was going to head towards an upset in favour of Small Island, however they only managed to win 1 game out of 5, and Eversio advanced to the winner’s final.
Here they were up against Halal FC, made up of ex-player for Project Eversio, Porry, and ex-Anarchy member JayJay (also known as JoelanJr). Unfortunately for Halal, they did not have much success in this best of 5, as Bungy and Vella999 took the 3-0 win with ease.
Grand Finals
This win progressed them into the grand finals where they would meet and rematch team Small Island. The series followed a similar conclusion to their initial match, as the grand final ended in a 3-1 for Project Eversio. Here’s is how the final match ended:

Rocket League definitely has potential when it comes to the local scene here in Malta. With the game recently becoming ‘Free To Play’, the game has gotten extremely popular, especially amongst young teenagers. In fact, players from the Fortnite scene have switched over to Rocket League to pursue a career in a game where acrobatic, rocket powered cars are the main characters of the esport.
