Spirit beat forZe to qualify for WESG 2019 Global Finals

Spirit have secured a place at the WESG 2019 Global Finals after besting FORZE 2-1 at the Russian Finals, in Kirov.

The WESG Russia Finals solely featured the duo of FORZE and Spirit, with the former having received a direct invitation to the decisive showdown, while the latter had to fight their way through the closed qualifier, in which they ultimately defeated Gambit Youngsters to set up a matchup with Andrey "⁠Jerry⁠" Mekhryakov's squad.

The grand final clash demonstrated the offensive prowess of both sides as the Russian squads traded each other’s map picks with dominant T sides, which resulted in FORZE winning out Mirage 16-12 and Spirit securing Inferno with the same scoreline. Spirit carried over their momentum to the decider, Nuke, where they stormed to a 12-3 lead on the Terrorist side. The score difference proved too large for FORZE, however, as the series was soon closed out by Spirit, 16-9.

Spirit have locked down a spot at the WESG 2019 Global Finals

The defeat to a team ranked 15 places below them in the world rankings is the latest disappointing result from FORZE, who last week had crashed out of DreamHack Open Anaheim in 7th-8th place following defeats to North and Endpoint.

It is currently unknown when and where the WESG Global Finals will be played out, with the original March date believed to have been postponed amid the outbreak of the coronavirus. The Asia-Pacific and the Latin America qualifiers have already been postponed indefinitely because of the virus.

The list of participants for the WESG Finals currently looks as follows:

Denmark North
Spain Movistar Riders
Canada LiViD
Serbia Juggernauts
Russia Spirit
Algeria Viva Algeria
South Africa Energy
South America Latin America
South America Latin America
Asia/Oceania Asia-Pacific

sdy? What`s the point of taking him if he`s IGL? He is not so strong at killing, there is no point in replacing well-experienced flamie and young IGL. Mir is old. Magixx? He is not so good

Sdy not strong at killing? Cant agree with that, I think he is the best aimer in spirit, so him for flamie would not necessarily be a bad choice i think

you know they can take him as support, for that money what Navi will offer he will be glad to change role. But no point to talk about this right now, if flamie will continue to be so inconsistent in this year only then i guess Navi will think about it
