Risky win ESL India Premiership Summer Finals

United Arab Emirates' Risky Gaming defeated the home team, Entity in the grand final of ESL India Premiership 2017 Summer in quick fashion.

Despite severe delays, the ESL India Premiership 2017 Summer Finals eventually came to a close in the weekend, after seven Indian teams and Risky engaged in battle, for a share of the ~$11,000 prize pot.

Risky crushed everyone blocking their path in the upper bracket of the double-elimination format, including Shooting Monkeys, Brutality, and Entity before earning their spot in the grand final. 

Risky went undefeated in the ESL India event, without dropping a single map

Joining them from the other side is Entity, featuring two former Wolf players, Tejas "⁠Ace⁠" Sawant and Ayush "⁠astaRR⁠" Deora, who attended ESL Cologne 2014 Major together. Entity had no trouble destroying JMD and Wolves, before losing to Risky in the upper bracket final. From there, the Indian team took care of their fellow countrymen, Dare2Dream in the consolidation final 2-0, only giving away 10 rounds.

However, the grand final was a repeated one-sided affair with Risky wrecking havoc once again versus Entity on their home turf.  Love "⁠havoK⁠" Paras and company went on to win the title after slaughtering Entity in two straight maps, 16-7 on Inferno and 16-6 on Cobblestone.
