G2 to StarSeries final over dignitas

G2 have joined NiP in SL i-League StarSeries Season 2's grand final following a narrow series with dignitas (2-0; Cobblestone 16-13, Dust2 16-12).

To start off the second semi-final, G2 swept Dignitas in the first three rounds of Cobblestone as Terrorists. The Danish side took two to their name, forcing their opponents on an eco, but Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon's team came out on top anyway.

Once again forced on an eco after losing the next round, shox picked up a fantastic ace with a 1v3 clutch, helping his squad get up to 8-3. There was still life left in the Danes, as at that point Dignitas won a partial eco of their own on the back of doubles from René "⁠cajunb⁠" Borg and Ruben "⁠RUBINO⁠" Villarroel.

G2 still went over with a considerable 10-5 lead, but it was shortly lowered to only three rounds as Kristian "⁠k0nfig⁠" Wienecke grabbed four kills in the second pistol round. Alexandre "⁠bodyy⁠" Pianaro was the hero then, providing three deagle one-shots in the second eco, while Adil "⁠ScreaM⁠" Benrlitom rubbed salt in the wound by winning a 1v2 in the following round for 13-7.

Dignitas changed up the pace and pulled themselves back in the game with a few fast executes, making it 13-12. With great individual play from Edouard "⁠SmithZz⁠" Dubourdeaux and ScreaM, who each got three kills in two of the next three gunrounds, G2 closed out map one at 16-13.


dignitas were on the receiving end of shox's wrath on Cobblestone

On Dust2 the sides swapped, as G2 took the pistol as CT after a retake scenario on A, but Dignitas were the ones to win the first several gunrounds. The Danes abused rotations over and over and went with a fast-paced approach, taking eight rounds in a row for 8-2.

G2 took a timeout and managed to get their first gunround on the board, but Dignitas replied with two in a row, enforcing an anti-eco situation. SmithZz closed out the half at 4-11 with a quick quad-kill with an AWP in a hard situation.

The French-Belgian roster began closing the gap with the second pistol as well as the following gunround in the bag, and exchanged the next two for 11-12. The score was even once cajunb had to save the AWP for the third round in a row, and G2 soon took their second lead in the map as Dignitas took a timeout.

It didn't come to any fruition however, G2 retook the lead for the first time since the fourth round and completed the comeback at 16-12, only dropping a single round in the second half.

Anyone would be like that on stage. Just watch the moment they won rounds against their compatriots, just like one gang challenging another and wanting them dead. You can see the hatred in their eye.
