G2 beat EnVyUS, on to the semis

10-9-2016 19:43

G2 Esports defeated EnVyUS 2-0 (Dust2 16-14, Cobblestone 16-13) to qualify for the semi-final and send their local rivals packing.

G2 started the match as Terrorists on Dust2 and focused their attacks on the B bomb site which was guarded by the statistically worst Envy players - Christophe "⁠SIXER⁠" Xia and Timothée "⁠DEVIL⁠" Démolon.

The pistol round wentbod in favor of Envy as Vincent "⁠Happy⁠" Schopenhauer's troops read G2's standard tactic, but were struggling to hold versus the full bought T side.

Nine rounds into the match and with a 5-3 lead, G2 still haven't had a plant on the A site of dust2. Envy got a few rounds on the board by utilizing a double AWP setup in the hands of Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub and SIXER before Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon's team took back the momentum.

Shox went god-mode on the second map of the series

G2 ended the first half with a strong 10-5 lead, but Envy swiftly tied the map 10-10 by taking the ever important pistol and first buy rounds.

Envy got to a 14-11 lead on the back of default plays and kennyS's AWP before G2 called a timeout and countered their French rivals with a B tunnels push by Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom and Alexandre "⁠bodyy⁠" Pianaro. The play worked two rounds in the row and allowed G2 to close out the map 16-14 in the end.

Envy started their map pick, Cobblestone, by picking up the Terrorist side pistol with the help of kennyS's triple kill. However, they didn't manage to take control of the early part of the match, with G2 taking a 7-4 lead instead.

Happy's EnVyUS couldn't take down their domestic rivals

kennyS was the star again in the 13th round with a great 2v1 clutch, but G2's star shox responded with a quad kill in the 15th to take the 8-7 halftime lead.

In the second half G2 took the pistol round with a classic fast push towards the A site and got to 13-7 before Envy started to pick up rounds on their CT side.

Happy's team tied the score 13-13 but couldn't close the game out, with shox showing up with crucial kills to secure the map, the match, and the semi-final spot for his team.

i didn't mean to hurt your sweet feelings towards them, you fanboy, but i won't shut up just because someone doesn't like what i say

2016-09-10 19:52

your "arguments" can't be backed up because you're always speculating, saying "that will happne" and "this won't happen", when you don't know jackshit. So yeah, all you can do is barking like a dog.

2016-09-10 20:01

hopefully you're not crying after i ruined your dreams about g2's "greatness"

Best game of the year + Best performance of the year. I think with this performance shox garantees a top3/5 spot in 2016 rankings.
