In a pretty odd turn out of events or rather a revolting result at the end of the first leg of semi-finals of ESL India Premiership Starter #2, A3, better off known as NSD knocked out EnTiTy Gold at the semi-finals with a scoreline of 16-14.
With the experience balancing on both sides of the scoreboard, (A3) NSD finally got a breakthrough in their long struggle of migrating to the newer version of the game as they beat the tournament favorites Entity Gold. A3 will travel to the LAN festival which is scheduled next month.
Entity Gold which beat Goutfits to enter into the semi-finals looked shaky even during the quarterfinals. They were down 0-8 against Team Goutfits who were farthest in the prediction set. A3, on the other hand, beat Goutfit’s counterparts JMdAim2Game in their quarters.
A3 is the first time to enter into the finals of the ESL India Premiership Starter Cup #6. Additionally, they have also qualified for the Premiership Challenger #2 where they will have the opportunity to be eligible to the ESL India Premiership Masters #1 which is scheduled in December this year.
The second leg of semi-finals will be played between GunPoint and JingBang, the winner of which will enjoy the same benefits as A3.

Gambit Gaming has declared on their site the marking of veteran Danylo “Zeus” Teslenko from Natus Vincere. Zeus has entered into an agreement with Gambit legitimate until the end of 2017 after the organization hit an arrangement with Natus Vincere for the 29-year-old’s exchange.
In the year 2009, Zeus himself created Natus Vincere with four other dominating Ukranian players. The 29-year-old have had lots of achievements in the past with the Ukrainian side Na`Vi, including DreamHack Masters Malmo and MLG Columbus where they stood 2nd.
The Ukrainian veteran had been surveying his choices in the wake of being let well enough alone for Na`Vi’s beginning lineup after the entry of Aleksandr “s1mple” Kostyliev.
Zeus assumes the control as Gambit’s new chief and in-game leader. He will replace Dmitry “hooch” Bogdanov, who was discharged toward the begin of the month in after being a part of the team for over ten months.
Gambit CSGO roster
Daniil “Zeus” Teslenko – captain
Abay “HObbit” Khassenov
Mikhail “Dosia” Stolyarov
Dauren “AdreN” Kystaubayev
Rustem “mou” Telepov
Rustam “TsaGa” Tsagolov – Analyst
On signing Zeus, Gambit Gaming’s CEO Konstantin “Groove,10” Pikiner released an official statement, “I’ve known Daniil closely for more than ten years. In 2007 and 2008 we worked together in Virtus.pro. Daniil is someone who never gets complacent with his achievements – victories for him stand above all. He loves competing and commits himself to it completely, does his best to achieve results. I am glad to welcome a player of his calibre to Gambit Esports!”.
Zeus shared the fact that he formed Na’Vi while walking down the street with Edward in the year 2009 and as he continues. “Hello, guys! It’s time to clarify my situation and provide an official statement that many of you have been waiting for.
I remember walking down a street with Edward in 2009 and coming up with a name for our new team… We had just finished watching “Avatar,” a movie that told a story about a different tribe called Na’Vi. That’s how it all began…
Today everyone knows Natus Vincere as one of the most famous, successful and serious Esports organizations. For me Na’Vi was like home, I took part in establishing it, I was proud of it. I spent six years doing all I can to make it the way it is right now, an organization that you love!
Obviously, it is difficult for many, including myself, that we part ways, but NA’VI will always be a part of me, and I will remain a part of its history… I would like to wish these guys to move only forward towards their goals and represent “Born to Win” name with pride.
I am beginning a new path since I won’t let go of my goals! I will share this way with Gambit Esports team!!! I know that many of my fans, acquaintances and friends were worried about me and my future career. Therefore I hope that they will approve of my choice and will continue sincerely supporting me, this time as a part of a new roster! I have a lot of responsibilities and duties with my new team. Perhaps it won’t be easy at first, but it never stopped me from new beginnings, and I had a lot of them! I promise to invest all my efforts, patience, and experience to lead my new teammates and organization to success!!! Believe in us and root for Gambit Esports, and we won’t let you down!
If you are that kind of personality who keeps on trying even though after experiencing worst of circumstances, you’ll love to meet people of the same spectrum. Part of this example matches with a Kolkata boy who is totally focused on achieving his dreams despite practical and geological differences between the goals.
The famous Kolkata videogamer Sabyasachi Bose who goes by the nick ‘antidote’ currently plays for a Mumbai-based CS:GO team Dare2Dream (formerly known as MxB). It is pretty hard to believe that the coordination and other essentials of being a team player also include physical presence but this 20-year-old passionate gamer going against the odds, plays for the team which is thousands of miles away from his location. Team MxB which is apparently among the top 4 teams in the country right now. With joint efforts of experienced players and fresh talent, MxB has earned themselves the country’s respect.
Risky Gaming and Dare2Dream will be flying to Malaysia to compete with the rest.
Hassles & contretemps does affect people certainly by hitting them at the toughest spot, but not for this gentleman. Sabyasachi has been a Counter Strike player for almost seven years now. And as the famous Russian proverb, Akula, kotorya Ne plavayet, Ne tonet, which expresses, “The shark that doesn’t swim, drowns.” This is the closest metaphor which defines the audacity of Bose. Today, this is a proud moment for us as the young talent is flying all the way to Malaysia to mark his presence with the team Dare2Dream, who have supported these bunch of new talents who deserve to be in the headlines. Although being vigorous into the community, Dare2Dream grabbed the attention immediately after winning the NVIDIA FPS Battle after beating the likes of Brutality and Overcome in the grand finals.
Dare2Dream will represent the Indian side with their lineup:
Sabyasachi ‘antidote’ Bose
Bhavin ‘HellrangeR’ Kotwani
Sharan “BusteRR” Dave
Mohit ‘SpawN’ Wakle
Sailesh ‘Blackhawk‘ Dalvi
Team Dare2Dream, which is supported by their corporate parental organization Drag2Death will be flying to Malaysia in a couple of weeks where they will present the talent along with our flag to the masses there. ASUS ROG Masters had two slots for the ROA (Rest of Asia) region. The second slot was taken in possession by UAE’s very famous and efficient team Risky Gaming who will be joining Team D2D from the ROA region.
Entity eSports Dota 2 qualifies for ROG Masters Malaysia in rest of Asia (ROA) qualifiers.
To take the slot they beat Five Rejects which included Sh1zzy from Pakistan, former player from Team Envy.
What Swifty has to say about this :
“The team is now going to practice even harder for Malaysia as we hold a lot of responsibility with regards to the Indian Dota 2 community and this will surely help us to build a motivation for all Dota 2 players in the country”
Moving to the game, a 46 minute action packed game with some morphling support on No_chance. Shizzy and squad were not able to hold on the Luna + Shadow Demon lineup which resulted Entity Esports to qualify for Malaysia.
Apart from Entity Esports qualifying for ROG masters, Malaysia. Another Indian team will be joining them, namely Aggressive 5 or Dare 2 Dream. Winner of A5 vs D2D game will also attend the Malaysia LAN.
The ROG Masters LAN event will take place from 11th – 13th November where Entity eSports Dota 2 squad will raise the Indian flag high.
Show some love to the boys and follow the Official facebook page of Entity eSports
Update : Joining Entity eSports will be Aggressive 5 as they qualify for the ROG Masters LAN at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They were abe to ta ke down Dare 2 Dream in the finals on rest of Asia (ROA) qualifiers.

A player belonging to H2k, Phizzurp was streaming only hours ago before being succumbed to serious injuries.News of his death reached to the media this morning via his girlfriend who shared an emotional video explaining the whole situation.
Alcohol and over-speeding is believed to be the cause of this tragic accident said Sgt. Baumfalk from the Aura Police Department. According to the officers, a black Infinity vehicle lost control and ended up on the sidewalk via several trees and a light pole.
Other than Philip, his girlfriend Adrianna was occupied in the car which faced a major accident. “Phil lost control of the car, we flipped into a pole and through three trees. I was the only one that was conscious and I just want to let you guys know. He was a great guy he did not deserve this. Phil is such a good man and I loved him so much. He was so kind,” said Adrianna.
Our blessings goes to Philip’s family and friends who are right now in a shock state.
