Extra Salt got a great start in the first map on Inferno, and they were quickly leading 6-1 as the CT side against forZe as the T side.
But the Russian organization wouldn’t give up without a fight as they made it to 6-4, but then the momentum changed again. Extra Salt would go on to win the next nine rounds, to make it to 15-4, and the first map win was just a formality for Extra Salt.
Especially the Canadian FaNg was an absolute machine for Extra Salt in the first map, where he ended the map with a whopping ADR of 117,8. He was the key for Extra Salt in the map that ended in a 16 to 5 slathering of forZe.
The second map on Train started with a strong start from forZe, where they came up 5-1 until Extra Salt chose to step up their game.
Extra Salt ended up making the map competitive as they made it 8-8 just after halftime, but forZe ended up securing the map.
A map that was way closer than the first map, a great team performance by forZe, where three out of the five players on the Russian roster had a rating over 1.20. The three players are zorte, Jerry, and FL1T, they were playing on a very high level together.
After an even start on the last map Nuke at 3-3 then Extra Salt shifted gears, as they won eight rounds in a row to make it 4-11, a great performance, where the T side for forZe didn’t work out as they planned.
But after the half and the change from T to CT the tables turned as it was forZe´s turn to win consecutive rounds, they came back at 10-11 and the game was yet again competitive.
The last map became even more intense as it was to be decided in overtime at Nuke, after a very close first thirty rounds, where the CT side for both teams was very effective, as they both won their CT side 11-4.
