pro100 beat HellRaisers to win DreamHack Delhi Invitational

pro100 secured the DreamHack Delhi Invitational trophy following a 2-0 victory over HellRaisers in the grand final.

Heading into the six-team event as the two highest-ranked sides, HellRaisers breezed through their group unscathed to take down Goliath in the semi-final, while pro100 progressed through Group A and overran Yalla comfortably on the other side of the bracket to set up the CIS clash in the grand final.

The best-of-three matchup kicked off on Mirage, the pick of HellRaisers, where Kirill "⁠ANGE1⁠" Karasiow’s side looked well on their way to closing out the opener commandingly after storming to a 9-2 lead on the Terrorist side. The map was on course for a swift conclusion before a resurgence from pro100, led by an emphatic Mareks "⁠YEKINDAR⁠" Gaļinskis performance, saw a comeback materialise to force overtime, in which the Russian squad flawlessly secured four straight rounds to win 19-15.

With the first map under their belts from an impressive comeback, pro100 entered their own map pick of Train riding the momentum, with Georgi "⁠WorldEdit⁠" Yaskin’s AWP ripping apart HellRaisers’ defence to help his side surge to a 12-3 halftime lead. With defeat on the horizon, HellRaisers buckled down to secure a series of rounds to narrow the score difference, but multiple impactful kills from Jan "⁠wayLander⁠" Rahkonen ensured pro100 edged over the line to take the second map and emerge champions of the DreamHack Delhi Invitational.
