Dust2 India - 1XBET Masters 19: Preview

With DEFAULTER's Flshbck and Gods Reign making their way to the Dust2 India - 1XBET Masters 19, the lineup for the Playoffs is confirmed as we have our semi-finalists for the $1500 tournament.

We have three Indian teams and one Pakistani team set to battle it out in the Dust2 India - 1XBET Masters 19 and here's a quick look at the semi-final lineup.

Gods Reign vs VICTORES SUMUS - 11:00 AM IST

An inconsistent and struggling Gods Reign will face VICTORES SUMUS in the first semi-final with Gods Reign desperate to get some wins under their belt after suffering a host of losses recently in their ESL Challenger League Season 49 Asia Pacific. Bhavi's boys have not just been losing but seems to have some major synergy issues with the Indian team struggling on their CT side majorly in the recent few games.

Taking on Gods Reign will be VICTORES SUMUS, who along with Gods Reign, recently made the LAN Playoffs for the Skyesports Souvenir 2025 National Championship. While Gods Reign might hold the upper hand in the head-to-head between these two squads, given Gods Reign's recent struggles, VICTORES SUMUS will be in with a big chance to cause an upset.

Flshbck vs st4rboys

DEFEAULTER's Flshbck roster with eXTREMESLAND Asia 2024 winner 0SAMAS stepping in, will be facing st4rboys as the Palestinian rifler teams up with some of India's most experienced players in reV3nnnn, clouda, DEFAULTER and Mcg!LLzZz. 0SAMAS was key for Flshbck in their Open Qualifier game.

The second semi-final will also be the Round 2 game of the Open Qualifier 37, through which Pakistan's st4rboys qualified and the st4rboys had faced DEFAULTER and co. on Anubis, although the Indian team had EmbeR instead of 0SAMAS. The Pakistani team had picked up a 16-14 win on overtime and will be looking to repeat the same although the Palestinian player will be a key difference this time around.

Grand Final - T.B.D vs T.B.D

The Dust2 India - 1XBET Masters 19 will kick off on February 23, 2025 at 11:00 AM IST with the one semi-final and the Grand Final set to be streamed live on our Twitch channel.
