Team XO topped the LOCO Diwali Battle league stage
Overview
The LOCO Diwali Battle league stage ran from 1 to 17 November 2021 with a $13,478 prize pool, and Team XO finished first ahead of GodLike Esports. The league-stage table is recorded on Liquipedia's LOCO Diwali Battle/League Stage page. A Diwali-week event in the middle of the 2021 third-party calendar, it drew the era's heavyweights and gave XO a table-topping result against one of the strongest fields of that winter.
The XO–GodLike one-two is the verified headline. Team XO's league-stage record from this period includes names like Punkk, and the event sits inside a busy November 2021 that also carried the War of Glory finals. This page covers the league stage only: the Diwali Battle grand finals were a separate stage and their results are not folded into this page's stats.
Scope notes: the $13,478 figure is the league-stage prize pool as recorded. The full league points table and the grand-finals bracket are not reproduced here. Teams beyond the top two are not listed, because the verified record used for this batch confirms the top of the table, not its tail.
Upthrust Esports organised the league stage with LOCO as sponsor, and the Rs 10,00,000 league prize pool was paid out across the three weeks: weekly placement money for the top four each week, plus Rs 30,000 Top Fragger awards for Spower in Week 1, Punkk in Week 2 and AK in Week 3. Those weekly totals are what Liquipedia's prize table records against each team's final league placement, which is why the amounts do not descend in placement order.
LOCO Diwali Battle League Stage 2021 table closed with Team XO on 596 points and GodLike Esports second on 565, and the top 18 teams moved into the Grand Finals.
How it went
Across 17 days of league play, Team XO finished top with GodLike Esports second. The league table set the seeding for the grand finals, which this page does not score.
