Extra Salt won the DreamHack Open March North America final on Sunday, thus taking first place. In the final match, the team convincingly defeated paiN without losing a single card and won the $35,000 prize and the right to participate in the IEM Summer 2021 event.
One of Extra Salt's players, Josh «oSee» Ohm, was the most efficient player of the event with a rating of 1.38 in the ten-card draw. Remarkably, Extra Salt lost only one card in the entire tournament, leaving no chance to their opponents. In the final match, despite a hard fought and almost equal score during each game, the team managed to find a way to beat their opponent time after time.
Aran «Sonic» Grösberg, another member of Extra Salt, said in a post-match interview that now that they have finally established themselves as the best team in North America, they plan to start playing in Europe as well, at least for a while. Extra Salt is likely to head to Europe soon: the team is scheduled to take part in the FunSpark ULTI 2020 Europe Final starting April 19. It will also appear at DreamHack Masters Spring and IEM Summer in the coming months.
