forZe wins Spring Sweet Spring 1
The Russian roster defeated fellow CIS team EPG Family in the Grand Final
Fnatic, ENCE, FURIA, and Team Spirit had all been eliminated along the way to the Grand Final for forZe and EPG Family.
The two teams had undoubtedly been the strongest at the tournament, and it was therefore only fitting, that the two CIS teams gave each other a brawl of a Grand Final at Spring Sweet Spring.
RPG Family was off to the best start. The ex-Winstrike team managed to break free from forZe at 13-13 in the second half. Good teamplay from Aleksey 'NickelBack' Trofimov set his teammates up to several kills at the end of Overpass to secure the map 16-13.
On Mirage the story was reversed. After an 8-7 lead at the break, it was this time forZe who managed to distance themselves on the scoreboard to win the map and force the Grand Final to Dust2 to be decided.
The last map of the tournament did not disappoint. Both teams had to rely on their snipers to make the difference. Aleksandr 'zorte' Zagodyrenko from forZe had the upperhand on the majority of the map. But when it mattered the most, Aleksey 'El1an' Gusev stepped up to keep EPG Family alive until 15-14! Here a direct AWP-duel between the two of them fell out to zorte and forZe, who went on to secure the victory, $40.000, and a spot at the LAN tournament next year.
