True Rippers win Dust2 India 1xBET Masters 9
The grand-final saw True Rippers take on Carnival Gaming in a Bo3 after Gods Reign and Grayfox Esports pulled out of the semi-finals of the Dust2 India - 1XBET Masters 9. While DEFAULTER looked to secure his second Masters title after True Rippers' recent NESC CS2 Open grand finals loss, the recently unveiled Carnival Gaming had the perfect platform to make an early wave.
On Carnival Gaming's pick go Anubis, Rossi and Crazy_Gamer popped off early in the game to give True Rippers a 4-0 start which the team eventually converted into an 8-4 T-half. Pistol and anti-eco wins in the second half brought Carnival Gaming closer to levelling the score. Explosive performances from clouda and Rider kept Carnival Gaming in contention but True Rippers held their ground and closed out Anubis 13-9, going 1-0 up in the series.
DEFAULTER took matters into his own hands on Inferno, propelling True Rippers to a 7-0 start on the T-side. Rossi and Crazy_Gamer joined the party to restrict Carnival Gaming to a crushing 11-1 half. Dropping just a single round in the match, True Rippers closed out Inferno 13-1 to secure the Dust2 India 1XBET Masters 9 title.
This is True Rippers' second Masters' title after previously having won the Masters 6 title.
