On November 20th, Bangkok Patana School participated in the first International Schools Esports League Thailand (ISELTS) event – an inter-school Brawl Stars Tournament, organised by Daigon Esports, Teems and FOBISIA. With three teams representing our school, the event became a celebration of both competition and camaraderie.
What is Brawl Stars?
Brawl Stars is a fast-paced online multiplayer game developed by Supercell. Players compete in teams across different maps and modes, using unique characters called “brawlers,” each with their own abilities. The game emphasises strategy, teamwork, and quick decision-making, making it a popular choice for esports competitions worldwide.
Tournament Structure
Each round of the tournament was played in a best-of-three format, with teams alternating map choices and a final deciding match set on a neutral battleground. This structure ensured that success depended not only on individual talent but also on adaptability and collective strategy.
Bangkok Patana’s Success
• Bangkok Patana 3 (Under Year 8 Division):
As a Year 7 team competing in the Under Year 8 category, we faced strong opponents and even dropped one early round against a high-ranking team. However, we regrouped and advanced to the semi-finals, where we won convincingly. In the finals, our strategy and teamwork carried us to a decisive victory, earning us the Under Year 8 championship.
“The win was just a moment, the hard work behind it is what really matters.” – Panuphon Tangburanakij
• Bangkok Patana 1 (Year 9+ Division):
Our Senior team showed equal determination, battling through their bracket and emerging victorious to claim the Year 9+ title.
“The competition was fierce, but we gave our best effort in every match and came out on top. This event was an amazing opportunity that allowed us to experience a professional setting and gain valuable memories, and we are incredibly grateful for the support.” – Yuanheng (Diego) Yang
• Bangkok Patana 2 (Year 9+ Division):
While not taking home a trophy, their participation added depth to our representation and strengthened the collective spirit of the school.
Spirit and Atmosphere
What made the tournament truly memorable was the support between Patana teams. We cheered each other on, celebrated victories together and turned the competition into a shared achievement.
