This result propels G2 to the grand final of the tournament, bringing them closer to the coveted prize of $500,000.
Previous Encounters
In their new lineup, the teams have met only once, and it was in the semifinals of BLAST Premier Fall Final 2024, where G2 emerged victorious with a score of 2-1. They then went on to become the champions of the tournament, and this time the situation might repeat itself.
Match Details
The first map was Dust 2, chosen by Vitality, but they faltered embarrassingly in the first half, losing it 9-3. However, they managed to gather themselves in the second half, bringing the game to a score of 12-10. Unfortunately, they lost a crucial round, resulting in a 13-10 defeat on the map.
The second map was Inferno, G2's choice, where the first half ended evenly at 6-6. The second half, however, was completely dominated by Vitality, who showcased incredible gameplay. JaCkz particularly stood out with his excellent performance on the map.
There was also a funny moment during the map when NiKo accidentally stabbed his teammate malbsMd in the smoke after the latter fell from a boost following two confident kills. Many didn't understand it, but it was most likely an accident.
The third map was Mirage, where the first half was even, but G2 managed to pull ahead, winning with a narrow 7-5 lead. The second half was completely in favor of G2, as they took all the remaining rounds, sealing a victory with a score of 13-8.
Next Match
With their victory, G2 secured a spot in the grand final, which will take place tomorrow, where G2 will face the winner of the Astralis vs. Spirit match. The winner will receive $500,000, promising an intense battle. Meanwhile, Vitality exits the tournament in 3rd-4th place, receiving $85,000, and will begin preparations for RMR.
