ATK Arena wins first Gamedock Cup without dropping a single map

The Gamedock Cup #1 was a huge success, and a great way for South African CS:GO esports fans (and players) to spend their time over the past weekend. We saw some of South Africa’s top CS:GO teams compete for their share of the R20,000 prize pool, and those who dropped out early could compete for some shiny skins.

Gamedock Cup #1 results

On Sunday, 9 August 2020, the Gamedock Cup #1 came to a conclusion, with some great local casting. It was a joy to watch all the matches available, and it ended with ATK Arena’s CS:GO team taking home the trophy in spectacular fashion.

In fact, ATK Arena didn’t drop a single map during the entire tournament. ATK Arena begun their upper-bracket run by defeating Royalty Esports 2-0, then moving on to knock Sinister5 down to the lower-bracket with another 2-0. In the semi-finals, ATK Arena beat Goliath Gaming 2-0, claiming their spot in the grand finals.

Goliath Gaming refused to go down without a fight. The team made their way to the grand finals by taking out Energy Esports in a close 2-1 match.

For their trip through the upper-bracket, ATK Arena had a one-map advantage over Goliath Gaming and didn’t allow Goliath Gaming even a small taste of victory which comes with a map win. In the end, the grand final score was 3-0 in the favour of ATK Arena, who showcased a dominating performance throughout the tournament.

For their first-place finish, ATK Arena claims R6,500, while Goliath Gaming gets R5,000, and Energy Esports gets R3,500 for their third-place finish.

The first-ever Gamedock cup was exciting to watch, and we hope to see more local CS:GO esports action from Gamedock in the future. If you couldn’t watch the action live, you can always catch up by visiting the Gamedock Twitch.tv channel.
