Blind eSports won Villager DOMIN8R Series
Overview
Villager Esports' DOMIN8R Series ended in June 2023 with Blind eSports as champions, part of the dominant post-unban run that also included the Skyesports Champions Series. The announced prize pool was Rs 7,00,000 (about $8,490): Rs 3 lakh to the winners, Rs 1.5 lakh to runners-up TEAM VST per the Liquipedia record, Rs 1 lakh for third, and Rs 50,000 each for fourth and fifth.
Liquipedia dates the event 5 to 8 June 2023 with 24 teams. Matches were streamed on Villager Esports' YouTube. Blind's roster at the time, Jokerr, Manya, NakuL, Rony, SpyOp and Spower, was the core that defined the summer of 2023.
Two independent sources confirm Blind as champions: Sportskeeda's Pro Scrims report calls them the Domin8r Series champions, and its Champions Cup preview notes they dominated both the Skyesports Champions Series and the Domin8r Series. The winner-announcement article itself is not indexed, which is why this page cites the secondary confirmations.
Blind's title is confirmed by two independent sources; the announced prize split, the organizer, and the winners' roster are documented. Liquipedia's record also documents the runner-up, the exact dates, the full format and the MVP award.
The DOMIN8R Series joined a crowded Blind eSports summer that also brought the Skyesports Champions Series title.
