Recursive send iBUYPOWER packing

Recursive have sent iBUYPOWER home after winning 16-8 on de_inferno in what was a match of numerous risky-buy rounds which paid off.

After picking the map, Recursive were forced to start as Terrorists once again. Mathieu "Maniac" Quiquerez was at the helmet of the B bombsite attack, and the man himself scored three quick headshots while at the job.

Thanks to that, Recursive were able to defend the plant and make it 2-0 after a full buy from iBUYPOWER. Three Americans saving the P250 and vesthelm buy paid off. Due to a frag exchange on banana, Recursive decided to rotate to A bombsite, where they met with most of iBUYPOWER, who swept the floor with the Frenchmen. 

2-2 was the score and then the teams exchanged a round, although then technical issues on iBUYPOWER's part during the fifth round ensured they wouldn't be able to defend the A bombsite.

After replacing the PC, iBUYPOWER continued to play agressively with Keven "AZK" Lariviere taking three kills while pushing up banana.

A similar agressive strat allowed Kenny "kennyS" Schrub to open up with two quick pistol headshots on banana and take his AWP back, thanks to which the score was 6-4 in their favor.

Apart from a slow B push strategy, Recursive managed to take the rest of the rounds after two clutches by Quiquerez and one from Robin "GMX" Stahmer against a scary half-buy, making it 10-5.

Thanks to a smart molotov play on B bombsite, Recursive managed to take the second pistol round easily after iBUYPOWER tried to get into the site. That was not left without a response from the American team, as they took the Frenchmen by surprise in the second round.

Both teams were on a P250 and vesthelm buy in the following two rounds. They traded rounds back and forth, although that paid off for Recursive thanks to the lead in the first half.

The rest of the rounds were dealt with by Kevin "Uzzziii" Vernel  single-handedly, who got eight frags in the remaining three rounds with two defenses on B bombsite and a clutch while retaking A.

The match for the first place of the group has still not started as Christopher "GeT_RiGhT" Alesund has switched to a third PC. Because of that, both quarter-finals will be played at the same time.
