Semi-final 2 - 
st4rboys vs Big W - 11:00 IST
The former Carnival Gaming squad with Crazy_Gamer and CycloneF have joined forces to play under the Big W moniker and the SpawN-led squad were promising in the Open Qualifier 34, to make the Masters 17. The Indian squad have plenty of experience and firepower at their disposal and while this might not be a permanent team, it's got plenty of potential to have success together.
Pakistan's st4rboys on the other hand, come into this Masters to defend their title, which they had won taking down Gods Reign in the Masters 16, becoming the first non-Indian team to win the title.
