The GOAT Shotgun Clutch: Blitz Eliminated at Stage 7
The action heated up fast in Match 8 on Miramar. Amidst the tight rotations and shrinking zone, the encounter came to a chaotic head near the Graveyard. Blitz Esports, already struggling to find points in the Survival Stage, found themselves facing a solo Apollo.
Using close-quarters cover and pure, lethal precision with the pump shotgun, Apollo executed a textbook 1v4 squad wipe, eliminating Blitz Esports entirely at the critical Stage 7 circle. For Blitz, this early exit only piles pressure onto their slim qualification hopes. For Madkings, this clutch—from Apollo (teammates: Shadow, Clutchgod, and ProOP)—was a monumental confidence boost, confirming their team-wide readiness for the main event.
Following the clutch, Apollo wasn’t done, managing to secure crucial knocks on nearby teams like CK (Cincinnati Kids), M4 (MYSTERIOUS 4), and VS (Victores Sumus), inflicting severe damage on their point totals and further tightening the race for the remaining Grand Finals slots.

Having proven they can execute under extreme pressure with a close-range, low-ammo weapon, Madkings enters the final matches of the Survival Stage—and subsequently, the Grand Finals—with a psychological edge. Apollo’s display serves as both an immediate triumph and a powerful statement of the team’s individual skill and mental fortitude.
