"I'm a little disappointed that Hydra took away our chance to play the Russian team in the finals, but winning the match for the 3rd place is also a good result.
"We plan to take part in the Games of the Future in 2024, and we wanted Team Spirit, Talon Esports, Team Secret and Virtus.pro to be in the tournament. It will be interesting to see them in a Phygital tournament," the Neon Esports team player Travis "Castaway" Waters remarked.
Hydra (Kyrgyzstan) – One Move (Russia) – 2:0

We assumed that we would meet One Move in the finals, but we expected more. I thought they were playing stronger, after all, they are a first division team. Let's see what will happen at the Games of the Future in 2024," the new player of the Hydra team Ivan "OneJey" Zhivitsky pointed out.
