eFootball Player Hemanth Kommu To Start Campaign Against Uruguay

Hemanth Kommu will begin his eFootball campaign against Uruguay and all the group stage games will take place on December 13 as a round-robin, best-of-three format and the 28 players will compete in four groups of seven. After Stage 1, the players who couldn't make it through will get one last chance to find a place for themselves in the finals. The format will be a single elimination, best-of-three. 

Talking about how he will tackle the Group Stage, Hemant Kommu said: 

I am excited to take on some of the leading eFootball athletes of the world once again. The competition going to be intense, but I am ready to give it my all. My game plan will revolve around being smart and adaptable but most importantly keeping my cool under pressure. Since every opponent has their own style of gameplay, I have formulated multiple tactics and strategies based on how things go. I want to extend my gratitude to ESFI for backing me and I will do my best to make India proud by hopefully securing a medal.

The Asian qualifiers was a huge competition between Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka and Kommu was able to secure a place for himself. The qualifiers were organised by the Esports Federation of India. Talking about Kommu's feat, Lokesh Suji, Director of the Esports Federation of India (ESFI) and Vice-President of the Asian Esports Federation said: 

As a prominent figure in the eFootball 2023 landscape, Hemanth has been making waves with his consistent performances and we are confident that his strategic prowess and dedication will lead to him shining on the global stage. The Esports Federation of India (ESFI) is proud to support Hemanth, and we wish him the very best. We forward to witnessing India's flag flying high not just in Riyadh but in the world of Esports.
