The COD Mobile World Championship Stage 5 saw the early elimination of another Indian team, Vitality, following the exit of GodLike Esports.
Day 1 of the event has now concluded with eight teams moving to the Playoffs and the rest of the teams being knocked out of the Championship. The teams who were knocked out walked away with a prize money of $30K.

The Squad went to Elimination Bracket for a crucial match against STRUT, in which they displayed a sensational comeback by beating the French team by a score of 3-2.
Vitality then played their decisive game against China's Wolves to enter the Playoffs but unfortunately, they were unsuccessful and lost three rounds in a row, leading to their exit from the COD Mobile World Championship.
