Gods Reign advance to the final over Ikari

The semi-final of The Dust2 India - 1XBET Cup Masters #5 with our Broadcast Partner Blink Entertainment kicked off with Ikari’s pick of Anubis, where they started on the T-side.

Despite the pistol going in the favour of Ikari, the game entered into a series of back and forth affair, which ultimately saw Gods Reign come out on top after 2-2. They ended the first half with a spree of 6 round wins, securing a 9-3 lead at halftime.

Transitioning to the T-side, Gods Reign maintained their momentum, securing another 4 consecutive rounds to decisively clinch the game 13-3. Ph1NNN ended the game with 21 kills, earning a 2.05 rating to his name.

On the second map, Ancient, Ikari kicked off strong as the CTs, building a significant 5-1 lead. Despite this, Gods Reign rallied and claimed 5 out of the last 6 rounds, balancing the score to an even 6-6 by the end of the first half. A 3k from ZappeR led Ikari to secure the pistol round, extending their lead to 9-6 by capitalizing on subsequent rounds. However, Gods Reign regained control, by winning 5 consecutive rounds, ultimately sealing a 13-10 victory
