SINGAPORE - Singapore Premier League leaders Tampines Rovers proved they are equally formidable in the virtual world as Stags duo Joel Chew and Haziq Mikhail won the inaugural eSPL tournament on Sunday .
Eight local-based teams each sent two players to play in the event held over two weekends. The Stags had to bounce back from a 2-0 defeat by Geylang International in the group stage to squeeze into the semi-final, where they beat Albirex Niigata 2-1 and 3-0 in a best-of-three format. "I think that the level of competition here was pretty good. Haziq and I did not expect to win the tournament at all because we were not familiar with ProEvolution Soccer, but belief is one's greatest strength, and I am glad we had it in us to eventually clinch the trophy."
Mini tournaments also took place alongside the official eSPL tournament as national player Lutfiah Hannah won the women's tournament after beating team-mate Raudhah Kamis 4-1 in the final. In a celebrity match, Lion City Sailors' Abdil Qaiyyim and Gabriel Quak beat SGAG's Xiao Ming and Calvin Singh 1-0.
