12-13 September 2020, the highest level competition for Call of Duty Mobile in Indonesia, COD Mobile Major Series Season 3, was complete. COD Major Series started from July 2020. This tournament began with a solo qualifier round, team qualifier round (17-23 August 2020), elimination round (26-29 August 2020), and ended with Playoff round on 31 August – 3 September 2020.
From July to September, qualifier rounds produce 6 best teams to fight on the Major Series Season 3. Those 6 teams are 4U Team, TEAM nxl, Kayze, Bonafide Esports, RIMO Sadewa, and Louvre Esports. There are also 2 invited teams, Bigetron Duty and DG Esports.
Fighting through a double-elimination bracket format, every team has to play in a best-of-3 game. The first day became the starting elimination point with Bigetron Duty, 4U Team, and TEAM nxl as casualties. On the second day, there are only two teams in the upper bracket, DG Esports and Bonafide Esports. Playing in Standoff map on Search and Destroy mode and in Nuketown on Hardpoint mode, DG Esports easily defeated their enemy 6-1 in the first game and 150-89 in the second. With that result, DG Esports secured the grand final.
In the lower bracket, RIMO Sadewa goes through their enemies quickly. They won 2-0 each against Louvre (2nd round) and Kayze (3rd round). They finally met Bonafide after being sent to the lower bracket by DG Esports.
A best-of-5 match between RIMO Sadewa and Bonafide was intense. Bonafide took the first win on Search and Destroy mode in Firing Range map. Then RIMO Sadewa paid back by winning the second game on Hardpoint in Summit map. They finally reached the game 5, in map Standoff. Sadly, in the last game, RIMO Sadewa seemed to lose its spirit. They lost 28-150 to Bonafide.
DG Esports was pretty confident in the grand final round. They won first 2 games in a row. However, Bonafide was able to steal a point when winning the third game. Game four, DG Esports struck hard by playing aggressively with the final score of 6-3.
