forZe ready for CIS Grand Final at Spring Sweet Spring
The Russian roster took another big scalp with a 2-1 win against FURIA.
It is up to forZe to stop EPG Family's run at Spring Sweet Spring. The Russians defeated FURIA after three maps in the Semi-Final to book their ticket to the Grand Final later this evening.
The victory was established on Inferno. A perfect first half gave forZe a 12-3 lead at the break. But in a nervous ending to the map, FURIA came dangerously close to take the map to overtime. For the third day in a row it was Aleksandr 'KENSI' Gurkin who made the difference in the end with a solid 29-15 in K-D.
The comeback from FURIA was not enough to win their map pick, but on Nuke they continued their great CT-side from Inferno winning 11 rounds in the first half. The Brazilians also won the second half, which paved the way for a third and final map to decide, who should face EPG Family in the Grand Final.
On Mirage it was essentially one-way action. FURIA quickly lost the momentum they had built up on Nuke. Instead in-game leader Andrey 'Jerry' Mekhryakov drove his team forward by winning his individual duels 5-0 with the in-game leader from FURIA, arT. A dominant first half was replaced by an even more impressive CT-side from the CIS team, who almost made it look easy in the end.
