forZe прошла на EPICENTER 2019

Last weekend, forZe faced Gambit Youngsters in the EPICENTER 2019 CIS Qualifier Grand Final. The Russian team defeated the Gambit Esports academy team 2-0.

Gambit Youngsters enjoyed a smooth ride to the Grand Final, winning both their matches against Syman Gaming and Melbet Team without losing a map. forZe, on the other hand, lost their first map against pro100 but managed to secure their ticket to the Grand Final in the end.

The match began on Vertigo, with both teams fighting so hard to secure the win; they ran into overtime. Gambit Youngsters put up a great defense but eventually failed to prevent forZe’s victory. The second map was Inferno with Gambit Esports taking an early lead and even winning the CT pistol round. forZe turned things around once they got a hold of guns, ending Gambit Youngsters’ hope of competing in the main event.

forZe will also be attending DreamHack Open Winter 2019 this weekend, where they will face FURIA Esports, Tricked Esport, and MARSKALK in the Group A bracket matches.
