In the match for the fifth place within cs_summit 8, paiN Gaming and Extra Salt will meet. Whose side will the luck be on?
paiN Gaming
The Brazilians started the tournament so confidently that it seemed as if another contender for victory had matured. However, the elimination rounds put everything in its place. The guys from paiN Gaming got out of Group A without any problems, scoring 6 points after two matches: a 2-1 victory over Evil Geniuses and 2-0 over O PLANO. And in the playoffs, everything turned out exactly the opposite: two losses in two matches-0: 2 from Liquid and 1: 2 O PLANO.
Extra Salt
The Extra Salt five also performed in the same way. The group went flawlessly - two wins in two games, and then two losses in the playoffs. As for the group stage, EXTREMUM (2-0) and Team Liquid (2-1) were beaten, and the playoffs were defeated by FURIA Esports (1-2) and EXTREMUM (1-2).
Forecast
We started for health and further in the text. We didn't cope with the pressure in the playoffs, we didn't have enough skill and experience somewhere, and in the end they will fight for the fifth place. I believe that there may well be three cards here, as both sides are trying to finish the tournament with a victory that is not the best for them.
