iNSANE's game.tv Weekly Wars crown

Overview

September opened with a TEAM iNSANE title, as they won game.tv Weekly Wars Season 1 on 1 September 2021, taking the ₹2,00,000 prize pool (about $2,741 in the records' figures). Galaxy Racer finished runners-up. The event was organised by the game.tv tournament platform, running 30 August to 1 September with 19 teams, and was graded C-tier.

Independent confirmation comes from Sportskeeda's Goblin bio, which lists the event among his first-place finishes, and by SportsAdda's earnings profile of the iNSANE roster. ScoutOP of Team XSpark placed 17th, per Liquipedia player data. This was one of four early titles the iNSANE roster, built around Goblin and Aadi, won in the Aug–Sep 2021 stretch, alongside the Quantum Cup, Rooter Pro Scrims and Pro Warrior Cup Season 1.

For this event, Liquipedia carries the complete Grand Finals table: TEAM iNSANE topped it on 119 points from eight matches, ahead of Galaxy Racer on 115 and TSM on 110. The published prize split paid Rs 1,00,000 to the champions, Rs 50,000 to Galaxy Racer, Rs 25,000 to TSM, Rs 15,000 to Team XO and Rs 5,000 to 8Bit, and a separate Rs 5,000 Top Fragger award went to DeltaPG of 8Bit, who also led the event fragger table on 20 finishes.

Qualified teams mixed with invited sides in the Grand Finals field, and several invited teams missed matches across the three days, which is why the played counts in the Grand Finals table range from three to eight.

game.tv Weekly Wars Season 1 2021 started from a 150 team qualifier pool in six groups of 25, and only 19 teams reached the Grand Finals after quarter finals, semi finals and a one day Finals round. Prasad and Sanjeev commentated in Hindi, and the Grand Finals table on this page credits TEAM iNSANE with 119 points from eight matches.
