Cash prize money of lakhs of rupees was handed over to the winners of the tournaments of the three games.

Commenting on the tournament, Gaurav Gaggar, Director of Brainduel Games said, “It started with our (my brother Vaibhav and mine) vision of popularizing brain/skill games in India. We believe that India with all its cerebral matter has the potential to be a world player in brain/skill based games, all what is needed is the correct platform and opportunities for players and the right ecosystem.

This tournament was the first of its kind licensed event as a proof of concept to be followed by larger events across the country. Poker is very much a skill game as we all know and therefore an integral part of this concept. We got the support of like minded people in Mithun Rebello and Sumit Khurana of Pokerhigh and Hippo52 respectively who sponsored and supported the entire tournament.”

Gaggar added that the event was a ‘proof of concept’ event and that Brainduel Games will be organising bigger and better events in the months to come.
