f1redup, reV3nnnn help Gods Reign take down Legacy Esports

With one final spot remaining in the Skyesports Grand Slam 2024 LAN event, it was Gods Reign going up against Legacy Esports in the Grand Final of the Skyesports Grand Slam 2024 India Closed Qualifiers, with the winner set to book their place in the main event in Pune, scheduled to take place in the less than two weeks.

Gods Reign started the BO5 final on their pick of Ancient with a big 8-4 lead on their defensive side but Legacy fought back on their CT side to push the map to overtime with the trio of Resoluxe, EezyBoost and vel0city putting up a strong defensive hold. Gods Reign kept it clean in overtime to close out Ancient at 16-12 with f1redup ending things with a clinical triple-kill on a B-site retake.

Legacy's pick was Anubis but it was Gods Reign starting with a dominant T-sided 8-0 start. An absolutely one-sided half from Gods Reign saw them start with an 11-1 lead, dropping just one round which was to time in the opening half. Legacy put together a couple of rounds on their T side but Gods Reign weren't letting a comeback take place as they picked up Anubis at 13-6.

Legacy started Inferno with the T sided pistol and went 4-0 up before a Banana brawl helped Gods Reign get their CT-side going. Gods Reign made sure it wasn't a lop-sided affair as they pulled it back to a two-round half with 5 defensive rounds. Legacy made it 2/2 pistols on Inferno but Gods Reign answered with the force buy thanks to a crucial reV3nnnn 1v1 on the B site. Inferno went down to the wire as a neck-and-neck half saw neither team willing to give an inch but it was Gods Reign who held on for a 13-11 win to close the series on a mixed buy.

With the 3-0 series win, Gods Reign book their place in the Skyesports Grand Slam 2024 as the Indian representatives and will fight it out with three international teams in Pune between March 14 - March 16, 2024 in the $50,000 tournament.
