Keen Gaming hoisted the trophy after failing to drop a single game during the final day at ESL One Mumbai.
Earlier in the event, Na’Vi put together a brilliant effort to usher the Chinese squad into the lower bracket. However, Na’Vi wasn’t prepared for Keen Gaming’s retribution in the first series of the day. Game one could hardly be considered a contest as Keen Gaming held a stranglehold on the enemy team throughout the endeavor. Na’Vi battled back to obtain a lead in game two. Nevertheless, Keen Gaming were determined to earn their reprisal. After reacquiring the advantage, Keen Gaming sealed the series and a spot in the Grand Finals.
The final day of ESL One Mumbai proved to be brief. Keen Gaming decided that four or five games was not required to claim the title as champions. Despite a commendable showing from future ESL One Mumbai MVP Kim ‘Febby’ Yong-min, Mineski appeared out-classed in the series. Keen Gaming swept through the series to cap off a perfect final day of Dota 2.
Keen Gaming take home $135,000. As previously mentioned, the players will have to forgo the Mercedes which was claimed by Kim ‘Febby’ Yong-min of Mineski.
