Game 1, Mineski stayed patient and waitied for their TB and Tiny to farm up and then push and play for the late game. Na'vi was caught in the act multiple times and the laning quiet went Mineski's way. Once the BKB's for Tiny and TB were in at the 30min mark, Na'vi couldn't hold any longer. Mineski takes the game 1-0

DRAFTS GAME 2:

Shadow Shaman (Chuvash)

Mineski:

Game2, It one of the best dota 2 matches we had here, It was an absolute skittish, The crowd enjoyed it. It went upto that one hour mark.Na'vi Blizzy showed some great tacts with his first blood.

Regardless of the 75mins long game, the audience didn't care to leave their seats cause of one hell of a nailbitter it was. In the end, Na'vi came out on top thanks to their Pangolier and Sniper ! The cores played extremly well. Na'vi levels up 1-1.

DRAFTS GAME3:

Na'vi:

Centaur Warrunner (Blizzy)
Lina (MagicaL)

Jakiro (Misha)
Shadow Shaman (Chuvash)

Mineski:

Winter Wyvern (Ninjaboogie)
Dragon Knight (Moon)
Omni Knight (Kpii)
Juggernaut (Ahjit)
Earthshaker (Febby)

Game 3, Came out exactly opposite of what we expected, Mineski opened up their books, Dragon Knight early pick by Moon. The 15 min Deffusal on Juggernaut and 17 min Radiance by Dragon Knight. Pretty much sacked up the game for Mineski. A great team play there. Minesky played really expectedly well with their early aggressive push, Na'vi wasn't prepared for such aggression and Minesky took the game with little to no efforts! 2-1 For Minesky.

Minesky played really slow in the first game, they waitied out till the end game and let their Core farm. But in the Game 3, The sudden change in drafts did hint something was there for them. The early pushes and the perfect Mid Laning helped them get Radiance and Deffusal by 17th Minute mark which helped them lead easy victory over Na'vi.

Minesky makes it to the Grand Finale. Audience seemed to love their performace as they take over Na'vi 2-1. Blizzy was also a main high-light here with his Pangolier trying to fight as hard as he could.

Keen Gaming - The Pure Favourites

Day 2 of the ESL ONE - Mumbai 2019 kicks off in style,
A Great sunny day outside and a huge amount of crowd here early in the morning to start off with some epic Dota 2 battle between the CIS Region and Asian teams!

Day 2 Schedule:

Keen Gaming vs The Pango [Bo3]
Natus Vincere vs Mineski [Bo3]
Tnc Predators vs Keen Gaming [Bo3]

DRAFTS GAME 1:

Keen Gaming:

Lich (Dark)
Doom (Eleven)
Wraith King (Old Chicken)
Winter Wayvern (Kaka)
Puck (.----)

The Pango:

Dark Seer (Ghostik)
Ursa (Naive-)
Alchemist (Iceberg)
Tiny (XSvamp1re)
Jakiro (CeMaTheSlayeR)

Game 1, The favourites 'Keen Gaming' showed the best game of Dota to their fans, they never lacked the early control, the drafts went just like they wanted them to and there was no pressure from The Pango as they lost the early control over the net worth. laning phase went on the Keen side as well. Keen took the game just right under the 30 min mark. 1-0 to Keen Gaming

DRAFTS GAME 2:

Keen Gaming:

Vengeful Spirit (Dark)
Magnus (Eleven)
Troll Warlord (old Chicken)
Rubick (Kaka)
Kunkka (.----)

The Pango:

Beastmaster (Ghostik)
Morphling (Naive-)
Lina (Iceberg)
Enigma (XSvamp1re)
Witch Doctor (CeMaTheSlayeR)

Game2, Pango took the early aggression and pushed KG to play passive, Pango relied constantly on the team fights and the passive auras to get every bit of advantage they could get, allowing both their core heros to farm and heavy damage Items from Morphling and Lina,It was enough to end the game from Pango's side. Scores level on 1-1

DRAFTS GAME 3:

Keen Gaming:

Jakiro (Dark)
Dark Seer (Eleven)
Lifestealer (Old Chicken)
Earth Spirit (Kaka)
Troll Warlord (----)

The Pango:

Legion Commander (Ghostik)
Juggernaut (Naive-)
Storm Spirit (Iceberg)
Tusk (XSvamp1re)
Disruptor (CeMaTheSlayeR)

Game3, Keen Gaming read The Pango's really well, banning the key heros and hence Pango were forced to play with less of a team fight and now they had to win the laning phase, but Kaka's Signature 'Earth Spirit' and Old Chicken with the Tripple Kill over the tier 3 were enough to snatch that victory.

Keen Gaming played really well with their strats and perfect execution, They read pango really well after the first game. KG really showed they were the favorites here. They left everyone awe-struck with their performance.

The CIS Boys vs NA, Pango vs Complexity.

Match 2: The Pango (CIS) vs Complexity Gaming (NA) [Bo3]

DRAFTS GAME 1:

The Pango:

Razor (Iceberg)
Witch Doctor (CeMaTheSlayeR)
Phantom Lancer(Naive)
Centaur Warrunner (Ghostik)
NyxAssassin (XSvamp1re)

Complexity Gaming:

Ember Spirit (Limmp),
Doom (Deth-sama),
Terrorblade (Meracle),
Tusk (adam),
Shadow Shaman (Zfreek)

Game 1 went to Complexity as their core heroes played really well, Ember and TB were seemingly impressive to watch. The Wg.Meracle's Ultra kill which lead to the Team wipe led to a victory for the NA, It was amazing to watch that play by Terror Blade taking all 4 players of Pango.
And the Naive- triple kill was a nice comeback by the CIS guys but they couldn't obstruct TB, losing the first game after stretching it upto the 46 mins. Complexity taking the lead in the first match of the Bo3 series 1-0.

DRAFTS GAME 2:

The Pango:

Storm Spirit (Iceberg)
Jakiro (CeMaTheSlayeR)
Juggernaut (Naive)
Doom (Ghostik)
Earth Spirit (XSvamp1re)

Complexity Gaming:

Shadow Fiend (Limmp)
Brewmaster (Deth-Sama)
Troll Warlord (Meracle)
Clockwerk (Adam)
Nature's Prophet (Zfreek)

Game 2 went to the CIS Boys, Mind-blowing gameplay by them to end the game within 25 minutes, The Jakiro triple kill and those 2 for 1 and 3 for 1 trades didn't really pay off for Complexity Gaming. Those key fights with storm spirit and Jakiro were really the main highlights of the game, A great comeback by Pango after losing the first game. Scores tied 1-1, This is a knockout match. The loser goes back home!

DRAFTS GAME 3:

The Pango:

Lina (Iceberg)
Doom (CeMaTheSlayeR)
Juggernaut (Naive)
Legion Commander (Ghostik)
Shadow Shaman (XSvamp1re)

Complexity Gaming:

Dragon Knight (Limmp)
Batrider (Deth-Sama)
Terrorblade (Meracle)
Witch Doctor (adam)
Zfreek (Elder Titan)

RAMPAGE!! by Iceberg (Lina) was enough to get the whole arena cheering for the CIS, Complexity gaming was completely awe-struck by their mid aggression and couldn't figure out on how to stop them,with a 14-0 scoreline Pango took the 2-1 Victory over Complexity in just over 20 mintues to knock them out of the tournament.

After the first up and forth match, the rest of the two matches were pretty one sided, specially after that Rampage by Iceberg it was all their game from that point, Complexity had no answers for The Pango aggression on lanes. 2-1 Victory for The Pango and Complexity goes back home

Tnc Predators Eliminates the home team Signify.

After a great opening ceremony ESL ONE comes off to a tremendous start with a huge amount of audience to support Esports, Everything was on point Lights, Stage, Fans! Kudos to the organizers on doing such a great job.
ESL & Nodwin got together to bring out the best Dota 2 experience for Indians, People came out from different cities across the country to watch some fantastic dota and the teams didn't let them down at all. One could feel that energy that vibe in the arena.
After Na'vi making up to the Upper Bracket Semi-Finals, it's the time for other teams to compete for that one spot.

DAY 1 MATCHES

Signify vs Tnc Predators
The Pango vs Complexity Gaming
Team Team vs Tnc Predators

Game 1: Signify (India) vs Tnc Predators (Philippines) [Bo3]

Picture Courtesy - ESL

DRAFTS GAME 1:

Signify:

Tiny (Crowley)
Dark Seer (NO_Chanc3)
Kunka (Swifty)
Ursa (Blizzard)
Leshrac (Negi)

Tnc Predators:

Weaver (Gabbi)
Jakiro (Eyyou)
Templer Assassin (Armie)
Doom (Kuku)
Rubick (Tims)

Tnc takes an easy victory in the first game, signify had a great start to the game but after the early control the game was kind of sloppy from the Indian side as they were not able to tackle the Weaver who ended up not dying a single time in the whole 32 Minutes game. Kuku had a great target selection as he kept on targeting 'No_Chanc3' and 'Swify' stopping that early farm and stopped Ursa couldn't do much in team fights without that BKB. Signify had little to contribute in the end game where the 2 BKB's were already up by Weaver and TA. Tnc takes the lead 1 - 0

DRAFTS GAME 2:

Signify:

Tusk (Crowley)
Night Stalker (NO_Chanc3)
Outworld Devourer (Swifty)
Terrorblade (Blizzard)
Vengeful Spirit (Negi)

Tnc Predators:

Morphling (Gabbi)
Jakiro (Eyyou)
Lina (Armie)
Doom (Kuku)
Rubick (Tims)

Game 2 great game for Signify, the start was pretty difficult as they had great combos to stop signify from early farming, yet signify were able to come on top of the early game by shutting off 'Kuku' till some extent but Lina and Morphling were there to rescue Tnc. Blizzard couldn't help much in the team fights early game and Gabbi played fantastic with that morphling stealing the game away from Signify. A great effort was shown by Crowley and team.
Signify tried their best to extend that game and stay alive for as long as possible, made the game really interesting to watch but yet they couldn't Defeat their ancient as Tnc eliminates them 2 - 0 in the first match of Day - 1. We have a lot of other matches to cover so stay tuned for next updates.

Picture Courtest - ESL

Tnc Predators take 2-0 and Eliminates the home team on the first game itself, pretty much what we expected but over the notch gameplay from signify as the game 2 went up to the 40min mark, you could hear the loudest cheer from the Indian audience overall great game experience.
Gabbi played really well with only a single death in the whole bo3 series.
