Gods Reign, Enigma Gaming share the spoils
The second game of The Draft IND Group Stages saw two of India's best teams, Gods Reign taking on Engima Gaming. The veto saw Gods Reign pick Anubis that left Mirage as the decider.
Gods Reign started Anubis on the defensive side and secured the opening pistol thanks to a clouda triple on B site. clouda made it back-to-back triple kills as Gods Reign warded off a force buy that saw clouda finish the round with a knife kill. Enigma got on the board instantly as they brought out the guns. It was a tight half as Enigma tied up the score at 4-4 but a CycloneF quad-kill including a 1v1 against Catastr0phE on the B site saw Gods Reign get their fifth round. ghostxD answered with a 1v1 of his own to tie up the score once again but it led to Enigma breaking Gods Reign's economy which helped Enigma take a 7-5 lead.
Gods Reign picked up both pistols on Anubis and quickly went on to take the lead of the map at 9-7. Gods Reign started the second half with five in a row before Enigma got their first CT round. Two rounds were all that Enigma could manage as Gods Reign put up an impressive T side to secure the map 13-9.
Enigma Gaming started Mirage with a clinical A split to secure the pistol on the T side. Gods Reign replied with the force buy to get on the board on their CT side. The force buy wars continued as BENZENE came in with an incredible 1v2 on the A site to keep Gods Reign's economy in check. Both teams kept trading rounds but a crucial ghostxD 1v1 against clouda in a post plant on the A site saw Enigma gain momentum and Enigma ran away with a 9-3 half.
f1redup made sure the second pistol went the way of Gods Reign thanks to a 1v1 against ghostxD but Gods failed to capitalise on that as Enigma instantly hit double digits as they brought out the guns. Gods Reign tried to mount a comeback but Enigma shut them down to secure the map at 13-8 to tie the series 1-1.
Since the BO2 series gets tied 1-1, both teams share 1 point each.
