The Mumbai region was expected to be tough and brutal and it proved likewise with a combination of two national heavyweights claiming the win when the dust settled. The mixed lineup from 4Unknown and Galaxy Racer joined hands to claim their place as champions of the region. The team snagged 2 Booyahs along with an impressive tally of 44 kill points to take the win. We speak to team captain, Anand Madhukar Dushing to see what he and his team make of the win
In addition, esports titles such as Free Fire have secured impressive viewership figures throughout the Eastern region as a whole. In fact, the Free Fire World Series 2021 Singapore became the most viewed esports tournament in the world (excluding Chinese viewership) by reaching an audience of 5.4 million viewers, again according to Esports Charts.
With the case of Free Fire, the title’s esports success goes far beyond the Eastern hemisphere. To take the title’s World Series as an example, the event recorded a peak Hindi-speaking viewership of over 1.9 million, with Indonesian-speaking figures reaching 1.03 million. However, the title’s popularity in Latin America significantly contributed to the mobile title’s record-breaking number with the event recording peak viewership numbers for its Portuguese (1.06 million) and Spanish (890,276) platforms

When the lessons began at Norwood in 2001, there were 260 office referrals for physical aggression. Just two years later, that number had dropped 36 percent to 166. Similarly, racial and ethnic conflicts dropped by between 50 and 70 percent in those years. Most impressively, in the 2002-2003 school year, there was not a single referral for abuse toward a teacher or for defacing property; there were 26 such incidences in the previous year.
But the responses from Peace 2002-2003 Games students and alumni might tell the biggest story. On that Friday at Norwood, after recess had ended for those 100-plus students, Naya Bloom sat at her desk with a book of laminated drawings before her. The drawings were made by a first-grade class Bloom had worked with on Peace Games material.
“The most powerful piece of Peace Games is that kids really take ownership of the program, of their role in it,” said Bloom. “They see themselves as peacemakers
