Luminosity and Cloud9 make their way to the Finals of the Group A ELEAGUE Season 1

The third day of the ELEAGUE Season 1 started with the match between Luminosity and Team Liquid. We had Luminosity who was on the top of the table and on the other hand Liquid who had been struggling to make a place for themselves in the Finals of the Group A of the ELEAGUE Season 1.

As the veto proceeded Luminosity picked the first map Mirage and then Liquid picked up Nuke and Dust2 was randomly voted as the third map of the game.The first map was Mirage and Liquid started things pretty well by winning the first pistol round with the help of nitr0 and Clutch master Hiko. The first pistol round win gave them a boost but then Fallen picked up a triple kill with the awp and Luminosity were back in business. Somehow the first half scoreline was bought to 10-5 favoring the Brazilians. In the second pistol round fnx went huge and picked up three pistol kills that lead them to win the next two rounds. Liquid were only able to pick out 1 round in the second half of the map and the game ended in the favor of Luminosity with a scoreline of 16-6.

The second map of the game was Nuke that was Liquid’s pick and everyone expected them to win this map and give Luminosity a good fight. Hiko the clutch master again stepped in for his team and pulled of a great pistol round to give Liquid a good start. But Luminosity didn’t stay behind for quite a long time, after losing the two following rounds they came back into the match with three in a row. But adren helped Liquid to win an important 1v1 situation that lead to Liquid winning the first half with a scoreline of 10-5.The second half of the game saw an incredible retake by Luminosity and winning the second pistol round. After this there was no stopping for Luminosity and Fnx and fer were on fire. Fnx took a quad kill and defended the site that made Luminosity win the second map of the game and the semi finals of the ELEAGUE Season 1 with a scoreline of 16-12.

The second match of the day was between Cloud9 and Renegades who previously played a draw on the second day of the tournament. But this was the final chance for both the teams to qualify for the playoffs of the ELEAGUE Season 1. The Veto took place and Renegades picked up their first map as Cobblestone and Cloud9 picking up Cache and the third map that was randomly decided was Train.The first map of the game was Cobblestone and Shroud made sure that Cloud9 wins the first pistol round of the map. Renegades tried hard to pick some rounds in the first half of the game but Cloud9 didn’t let them do so and won the first half with a scoreline of 12-3. Cloud9 then won the first pistol round and then it was all over for Renegades as Cloud9 won the first map of the game 16-3.

The second map of the game was Cache that was Cloud9’s pick and with the help of Skadoodle they managed to win the first pistol round. But then Renegades came back in the game and won 4 consecutive rounds to restore them back into the game. The first half of the game ended by Cloud9 leading with a scoreline of 10-5. Just like in the first half, Cloud9 won the pistol round but this time Renegades made a force buy and won the next round. The Australians tried hard to get back in the game by winning a few more rounds but Shroud and Stewie2k didn’t just let them win and made their way to the finals of the Group A of the ELEAGUE Season 1 with a scoreline of 16-11.

India did performance good but not well enough to win a title, the lineup was Ritz / Ribbi / MithilF / Manan / sMx  which was led by Karthik ‘Catalyst’ Rao, the team manager. However, this time around, the format has been changed and there are no managers but captains deciding the lineups for their respective nations. It will be intense to see who all will be in the lineup choose by Tejas ‘ace’ Sawant, since there are too many players competing at the same level.

The top most players in India, all will be called for try-outs where only the best ones will be selected to represent their nation, we’ll wait and see how well it goes with ‘Ace’ who has himself being an experienced player in the CS:GO Indian community.

NVIDIA GTX 1080 Pricing in India is disappointing?

NVIDIA GTX 1080 Pricing in India is disappointing?

The GFX developer giant NVIDIA has released the pricing of its latest addition to the Pascal portfolio, Nvidia GTX 1080 and it is way above than we could have imagined? Nvidia GTX 1080 pricing in India has been settled approximately at INR 63,000.

NVDA_GeForce_GTX1080_Founders-710x434

There’s a catch however, customers in India will be entitled to be able to only buy the ‘Founders Edition’ at the initial stage whereas regular editions may as well be available at a later time somewhere around in the month of July-August.

The cards will be available through the authorized board partners, Zotac, ASUS, GIGABYTE, MSI and joining the list would be Biostar and Inno3D. Although the prices are marketed as one of the most price-sensitive product in the market compared to the features and specs, the card still remains for the people able to drill hole in the wall to get some cash.

NVIDIA GTX 1080 Pricing in India

How much the pricing should have been?

As basic as the calculation seems, the pricing of the ‘Founders Edition’ when launched was at, $699 which is, roughly Rs. 47,000. And the duty on graphic cards is calculated at 18.5% (presumably comes under ‘Other Computer Parts’) hence the duty comes around, Rs. 8695. Now here comes the glitch in the system, the $699 marker is according to India and not the Import duty officer, if the officer assess this at 800$ or at any even number, the duty has to be paid on the assessed amount and not the actual MRP mentioned.

The NVIDIA GTX 980 pricing in India can be simply demonstrated as;

MRP of a Unit = $699
After Conversion to INR = Rs. 47,000 (approx due to the fluctuations in the economy)
Duty & Taxes = @18.5% = 8695
Presumable MRP in India = Rs.(47000 + 8695) = Rs. 55,695

The pricing is not much of disappointment and surely not as expensive as it seems to be because of the duty charges and different types of taxes in India. The calculation demonstrated above might not be accurate, we might have missed a heading but certainly the pricing goes this way around.

Eventually you will be in the process of breaking your bank and paying a whooping Rs. 63000 (appx.) for the card which will be shipped in the first week of June.
