SK win cs_summit 2 opener against Torqued

The match started on Cobblestone, with Torqued executing fast on B, but the CTs were too strong and took the first round without even allowing a plant. On the third round, Torqued made a GALIL and AK buy and took A site quick, but despite bombing the site all of the attacking players died causing them to go into the next round with a poor buy. SK won the round as Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo held B long with the AWP, resetting Torqued.

With the economic advantage, the Brazilian side quickly took the 5-1 lead before Torqued got their first good buy. The North American team were able to take that first gun round after an opening frag by Kenneth "⁠koosta⁠" Suen on B, which he followed up with a blind no-scope on Marcelo "⁠coldzera⁠" David, opened up the site. Up 6-2, SK were able to further their lead as FalleN and koosta played a drawn-out 1vs1 that the Brazilian player was ultimately able to win.

Ultimately, SK ran away with the half, taking it 12-3, not letting Torqued ever get a grip on their economy. The second pistol round went the way of the Brazilians as Fernando "⁠fer⁠" Alvarenga and FalleN, both with doubles, steamrolled into the A site. Torqued won a round with their backs against the wall, the first buy round of the second half, putting up a fourth round, but SK quickly closed the map out, 16-4.

FalleN & co. made quick work of Torqued

The second map, Inferno, started on the right foot for Torqued as a double on banana from Matt "⁠Pollo⁠" Wilson defending the retake on B sealed the deal for his team, but doubles by Epitacio "⁠TACO⁠" de Melo and FalleN with CZs put a wrench in Torqued’s plans, winning the eco round to tie it 1-1. With SK up 4-1, the first buy round of the map got underway, and the Brazilians were able to further their lead winning individual duels all over the map.

Torqued were able to get a second round on the board, but were quickly reset by SK in the following round, taking a 7-2 lead and extending it in the following round against a force buy. With the economic advantage, and snowballing on the defending side, SK took the half giving up just one more round, for a 12-3 scoreline before switching sides.

The second pistol round went the way of the Brazilians as they played fast on B and cleared the site out without much opposition. Torqued went full-eco on the second round, but were able to take the buy-up in the third, putting a fourth on the board. Having money to buy from the previous won rounds, SK won an A execute to get on match point, and closed it a couple rounds later, 16-5.
