India’s campaign at the Chess tournament of the Esports World Cup ends in the quarterfinals, with Arjun Erigaisi and Nihal Sarin both eliminated after reaching the last eight. Both players secure top-eight finishes on Friday, but do not advance to the semifinals.

Both outlets describe the same overall outcome: the two Indian competitors reach the quarterfinal stage and then bow out. Beyond that, the reports focus on their elimination and final placement rather than detailing match scores, opponents, or specific game events, so there is no clear divergence in reported angles between the sources provided. The emphasis remains on their tournament results and the point at which the Indian run concludes.
