The story of Ace!

Three different teams have won the ESL India Premiership with one thing in common:- Tejas “Ace” Sawant. This has been the story of Ace, the 26 year old Mumbai player. He has been on the winning team for all three events. With the volatility in the Indian CSGo scene coupled with frequent roster changes “Ace” had to ace it all to reach his prime. Though the journey has been pain ridden with no concrete structure to support the player and his family, Tejas has very well hold his place! (like a solid B hold on Dust II) 

Here are the past 3 winners of the ESL India Premiership:-

ESL India Premiership 2019 Summer LAN Finale Winner –

Signify Gaming [Marzil, Antidote, DeathMakeR, Ace, yb]

ESL India Premiership 2019 Fall LAN Finale Winner –

Orgless5ive [Antidote, Ace, DeathMakeR, HuNtR, haiVaan]

ESL India Premiership 2019 Winter LAN Finale Winner –

Entity Gaming [Amaterasu, Excali, Psy, Ace, PoKI]

Formerly trained under Aleksandar “kassad” Trifunović, the current 100 Thieves coach, “Ace” and co made a frenzy run for their campaign of ESL One Cologne 2014 Major. Fast forward to 2020 Ace is still a prominent player in the subcontinent and holding out to be a veteran in the region. 

Ace also played with an Indonesian team named EXECUTIONERS (XCN) in 2018. But later returned to Signify to re-establish himself in the Indian CS scene. Singify managed to assemble an all star studded team but could not hold them for long. Persistent conflicts of interest lead to the disbanding of the roster in 2019. The core though remained intact and continued their domination under the banner of Orgless Five. 

The roster changing continued when Entity Gaming picked “Ace” up to form a new roster. Winning the ESL India Winter Championship shows that Ace is still in his prime and continues establish himself as one of the more veterans of the scene. Such has been the story of Ace!
