They&#8217;re in an elimination match, and\u00a0<strong>FORZE\u00a0<\/strong>showed themselves\u00a0nicely in the last few days than they were against\u00a0<strong>Monte\u00a0<\/strong>in their first game. Plus, the first game ended up with\u00a0<strong>13-11<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>19-17,\u00a0<\/strong>both being close scores, which tells us that\u00a0<strong>FORZE\u00a0<\/strong>had all the chances to turn it around.
