👑 The Final – A Comeback for the Ages
The final saw Group B winner Dillon & Vikram take on Group B runner-up Ryan & Charlie.
The match looked all but over. Dillon & Vikram stormed ahead to 16-5, then 18-10. Victory seemed certain.
But Ryan & Charlie had other plans.
Fighting back point by point, they clawed their way into the match. The comeback was completed in stunning fashion: 22-20 to Ryan & Charlie.
A final that will be remembered for a long time. 🏆
