Montenegrin representatives at the Games of the Future in Abu Dhabi have completed the competition in the Phygital Basketball and Phygital Dancing disciplines, while the fight for a place in the quarterfinals of the Phygital Shooter is still not over, so the hope of advancing to the next stage still exists.
The competition day began in the Phygital Shooter arena, where teams competed in the popular CS2 game and Laser tag. The Montenegrin team EndFastPls was defeated on both maps, although the fight was extremely uncertain and open until the very end.
Despite great effort and good play, the nuances decided in favor of the opponent. The duel continued on the laser tag field, where the Goat team managed to achieve victory and confirm its passage by winning all three points.
"I think we lost most of the rounds that were important, so this could have been a 2:0 result for us if luck and experience had been on our side. We had a bad day and we will try to learn from it and make a better result tomorrow," Milutin Jovanović, captain of the EFP team, told Vijesti after the match.
The Phygital Dancing discipline was marked by an extremely tight schedule, as only one day was scheduled for the competition. Although he left the best impression at the qualifications held in Bar and earned a place at this prestigious event, the competitor from the Netherlands, Dion Visser, who performed on behalf of the Electronic Sports Federation of Montenegro, this time failed to qualify for the finals and reach the final.
The quarterfinal match of Phygital Basketball pitted the teams G-Unit from Montenegro against Adria All Stars, a team that also has players from Montenegro. The match began on a virtual court, where the Adria All Stars team managed to gain a significant advantage of ten points (19:9).
Although a great battle was fought on the real field, in which the G-Unit players showed character and a desire for a turnaround, the initial deficit proved to be unattainable. The Adria All Stars team eventually won with a score of 34:21, thus qualifying for the next stage of the competition.
Montenegrin team EndFastPls has a chance to make amends tomorrow, when they will compete again in the Phygital Shooter event at 10 am local time. Their opponent will be the Russian team, and the outcome of that match could be crucial for keeping their chances of reaching the quarterfinals.
