fnatic over G2 to StarSeries semis

15-1-2016 14:56

fnatic are heading into tomorrow's semi-finals against Luminosity with a dominant quarter-final victory over G2 (2-0; de_cache 16-8, de_inferno 16-2).

The first quarter-final of StarSeries XIV Finals kicked off day three, as fnatic (second in group B) and G2 (third in group A) found themselves crossing each other's paths.

The series started out on de_cache, G2's choice, who also had to start on the Terrorist side after losing the initial knife round. A poorly executed A bombsite strategy cost them the first pistol round, as fnatic were able to complete a retake.

Olof "⁠olofmeister⁠" Kajbjer's triple on the A bombsite started a roll of rounds, as G2 continued to struggle in piercing fnatic's defence until the eighth round. After the 8th best team in the world got on the board with an A smoke-off, another one of such strategies ended up in a successful retake from the current number one.

G2 got a bit of breathing room after a triple from Håvard "⁠rain⁠" Nygaard in a 3-on-4 situation, and another triple from olofmeister wasn't enough to exchange for a round. Freddy "⁠KRIMZ⁠" Johansson then showcased his AWP skills with three kills before G2 closed the halftime for a measly 4-11 score.

olofmeister led the way for his team

Robin "⁠flusha⁠" Rönnquist's smart 1-on-1 victory behind squeaky was evened out with a forcebuy response by Joakim "⁠jkaem⁠" Myrbostad, who also helped G2 win the first gunround with a quad. The four-round streak was all G2 offered until the end of the map, as fnatic had little to no trouble closing map one out at 16-8.

fnatic's pick, de_inferno, started out with the Swedes overpowering the B bombsite as Terrorists without any issues, but running into a stack in the following anti-forcebuy evened out the score right at the start.

After fnatic replied back with a forcebuy of their own, they once again went on a long streak, this time for eight rounds in total, until G2 finally stopped it at 9-2. With no follow-up from the European mixture, fnatic were able to regain control quickly, and went over to the Counter-Terrorists with a decisive 13-2 lead. Three rounds afterwards it game was over, as G2 weren't able to string the pistol round together.

I agree that Maikelele's pretty bad as well. Yeah, Rain's been's been as at this particular tournament, but he's been the team's best player for most of its existence and Rain just straight up wins them games sometimes. And nice online games, those really matter. Take those out and Jkaem really only had 1 awful series.

2016-01-15 15:24

Did you even see todays game? Fox missed 100 easy shots & thanks to maikel they even made to top4 at major. They wont never kick their teams captain (maikel), if anyones gotta go, its fox.

Rofl, braindead 3rdie. Thanks to maikelele clutching they even won against mouz. If he wouldnt had these amazing clutches, they would had lost 0-2. How did they made top4 thanks to him, if he started to become alive at semi-finals?? Your logic is strong.

IRONY! Didn't you learn it in school? Aren't you in 8th grade, or something? Must be part of the program.

Your teachers are teaching you irony in school? No wonder that you are dumb then.

2016-01-15 15:09

fox and maikel omgat knoobs

Fox is shit since forever but all his fangays go back to that one Inferno map like it means something for his overall lackluster performance

2016-01-15 15:13

This just shows how much brought dennis to the g2. Even though aizy is good, but they need other changes. We will see what happens in the future

yepyep.. and why this fnatic is clearly going to be even better than the pronax era.. may already be better ! JW really maturing and not doing full whack shit helps so hard to tell

2016-01-15 15:19

so they had a bad tournament and yea dennis was the key of g2, ok man nice logic :D

2016-01-15 17:03

Maikelele and fox out - ANGE1 & someone else in to try out. Tnx

wp meister

2016-01-15 15:17

This is what happens when you have a team filled with brainless players, all of them are skilled but without someone to guide the team G2 will have to get used to lose over and over again.

2016-01-15 15:18

Doesn't help at all when your leader is on the other team now and a guy who doesn't want to lead is having to do it, with 2 relatively new players to boot ! they might as well just forget the game happened, except for watching the demos for hours.. and more hours. Have some drinks to dull the pain and make a weekend of it. Gotta feel bad for G2, hope they get a really good coach.. pronax ? do like the sound of him replacing one of the AWP players.

Dennis never leaded g2 ingame...

2016-01-15 15:22

-anyone + igl (pronax), of course the -fox or -maikelele would be the ideal

Was JW playing well guys ? :P

2016-01-15 15:29

G2 poor perfomance, eZ skins xD

2016-01-15 15:31

Adding pronax instead of fox would really improve the team. Make it happen G2.

2016-01-15 15:43

Maikelelelel to nip after this outstanding performance

2016-01-15 15:48

kick fox for god's sake

fox and maikel rip

2016-01-15 16:10

Fox 0.50 Maikelelelelele 0.54 nt

2016-01-15 16:12

BOT FOX

I predict -fox in favor of a complete Scandinavian roster.

2016-01-15 16:17

Yeah, I've said Maikelele should be kicked but it seems like Fox as main AWP doesn't work anymore, Maikelele should take his spots back and take up the AWP then they should pick up a sick 5th support player.

2016-01-15 16:59

"fox top4 awp" "fox > fallen" sad day, RIP fanboys

2016-01-15 16:25

expected. gl against brazilians

2016-01-15 16:30

Why do people shit on fox and not maikelele? They're both awful. If they replaced those 2 with pronax and maybe allu this team would be great.

2016-01-15 16:32

True, but fox is still having a good game sometimes, while on the other hand maikelele is playing poorly for months. But as you said, both are playing really awfull. But we shouldn't say it's those twos fault. They're a team..

2016-01-15 17:04

Yeah I'd even say Maikelele is worst but only fox gets shit on for some reason.

2016-01-15 19:23

fox and maikelele were just terrible this lan (apart from the game against Na'vi) :( Hope they get their shit together really soon

2016-01-15 16:34

Fox to lg hltv confirmed

2016-01-15 16:35

just a bad day for the g2. is very hard defeat the fnatic in any map, but in de_inferno is much more

2016-01-15 16:39

g2 poor performance, should've been cz here they would've gotten 1 more round than these european union scrubs

2016-01-15 16:45

well played Aizy! Hope you'll find a decent team some day.

2016-01-15 16:55

LG vs fnatic...gonna be good for sure =]

G2 T_T

2016-01-15 17:21

2016-01-15 17:30

fox -20 in 2 maps SeemsGood

2016-01-15 17:32

gg G2 fanboys get rekt! Keep saying that G2 > LG fags

2016-01-15 17:42

well played

2016-01-15 17:46

This is concerning, Cache was G2's best map. They laid waste to T1 teams that are strong on this map with dennis, someone needs to step up and be IGL

2016-01-15 18:29

G2: -fox +pronax LG: -taco +fox

2016-01-15 18:35

why would fallen change a terrible player for a good player ?

2016-01-15 18:36

He doesn't need to change, but Taco needs to start playing better fast. Otherwise they'll get stuck at semis and finals. They played with 4 players the last two matches everyone knows that. Fox is on a bad fase, but still a more experience player. A good team with a strong core of 4 players is capable to enhance a player potencial. Thats why G2 is so bad. 5 fraggers playing separate.
