KingPins secure back to back Masters titles
The Grand Finale of The Dust2 India - 1XBET Cup Masters #4, with our Broadcast Partner Blink Entertainment once again started off with Marcos Gaming choosing Vertigo. While they were able to easily fend off Gods Reign in the semi-final on the same map, KingPins gave them a much better fight. Marcos started off by picking the pistol round to ensure a 3-0 start to their CT Campaign.
However, KingPins secured 5 rounds in a row to take a 7-5 lead to the second half. It was KingPins turn to get a 3-0 headstart, as they extended their lead to 10-5. While Marcos Gaming fought back by tying the score at 10-10, Ember stepped up as the difference maker for his team. His 1.50 rating enabled KingPins to seal the first map 13-11.
Next up was KingPins map pick of Inferno. Starting on the T-side, they secured the pistol victory but faltered on the force buy round. After a couple of momentum exchanges, KingPins were allowed to take 5 rounds to their name at the end of the first half.
The second half saw KingPins again secure the pistol, only to lose the force buy to Marcos. While IGL DEFAULTER was struggling to post numbers, it was DiceDealer and Rossi who took charge, posting impressive 1.75 and 1.58 ratings on their T-side. As a result, Marcos Gaming snatched victory after a tied score at 10-10 to take Inferno with a 13-10 scoreline.
The decider of what had been an epic series was Ancient. Marcos kicked off their CT campaign by securing the first three rounds. However, once the buy rounds unfolded KingPins took over the lead at 4-3. Ember was firing on all cylinders on the T-side, carrying over his form from the second half of Vertigo, as his 18 kills propelled his team to secure 5 rounds on the T-side.
The second half saw a back-and-forth affair, with KingPins stringing together 3 rounds followed by a 3 round win streak by Marcos. However, from the 8-10 deficit, KingPins turned it around by racing flawlessly to the finishing line with a 13-10 score.
