forZe dismantle Na`Vi to book BLAST Pro Series Moscow final spot
forZe have booked their place in the BLAST Pro Series Moscow grand final after defeating Natus Vincere on 16-7 on Nuke.
Na`Vi came out of the gates hot on Nuke as they locked down the pistol with a rapid bomb plant, but forZe extinguished the blazing pace immediately with Deagle double-kills from Andrey "Jerry" Mekhryakov and Almaz "almazer" Asadullin in the next round, securing a 3-1 advantage off the back of it. Danylo "Zeus" Teslenko and his squad could only add one round before Jerry stepped up to the plate once again with a triple-kill to keep forZe in control as they cruised to a 7-2 lead.
A victory in the tenth round of the map enabled Natus Vincere to post two additional rounds on the board, but forZe refused to let go of their lead and reached the halfway mark with an 11-4 lead with Bogdan "xsepower" Chernikov shining on the AWP.
As the two squads switched sides, forZe harnessed their first-half momentum to increase the score gap yet again, this time securing a 14-4 lead on the offence following an ace by xsepower. A 1v1 clutch from Kirill "Boombl4" Mikhailov appeared to put a spring in Natus Vincere's step as they followed it up with an extra round, but forZe would not allow a comeback to come to fruition as they hit map point in reply. Natus Vincere managed to muster one more round before forZe inevitably closed out the map 16-7.
With this win, forZe have booked their spot in the BLAST Pro Series grand final as defeats for MIBR and NIP in the other matchups guaranteed their place in the title decider.
