BIG take down G2 to book semi-final spot

BIG are through to the semi-finals at ESL One Cologne after moving past G2 on two maps.

The second match of the day kicked off on Cache, BIG's map pick, with the home side getting out to a 4-0 lead on the Terrorist side, leaving G2's players strapped for cash. The French side still managed to get their first round on the board with an A stack on a very weak buy, however, and put together an impressive run of rounds, forcing Fatih "⁠gob b⁠" Dayik to call a tactical pause when his team were down 4-6.

After the pep talk, BIG were able to end G2's winning streak on the back of a triple-kill from Johannes "⁠tabseN⁠" Wodarz. The Germans ran all over the G2 defence for the rest of the half, with a 1v2 clutch from gob b with an AWP giving his team the lead heading into the second half.

The second half began with a successful A execution from G2, with Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub getting three kills to his name. BIG came close to responding in the first gun round of the half, but Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon pulled off a 1v2 clutch on the B site to kick his team further into the lead.

BIG edged past G2 on Cache but were far too hot on Dust2

G2 refused to take their foot off the pedal, with the scoreline blooming to a 13-8 advantage. It looked like the Frenchmen were ready to run away with the game, but BIG tightened up their defence, winning five rounds in a row to level the score and send G2's economy into meltdown.

After giving up the lead, G2 hit back immediately thanks to a triple-kill from Kévin "⁠Ex6TenZ⁠" Droolans in an A split. With their economy in shambles, BIG went for a risky force-buy and played around Owen "⁠smooya⁠" Butterfield's AWP, a strategy that paid off and ultimately put them on map point. However, the Germans were unable to put the game to bed as G2 picked up two quick kills near B to force their way through the site and set up an equaliser.

BIG did not let that get to them, however, and entered overtime brimming with confidence, winning two rounds in both halves to take the lead in the series.

The German side picked up where they had left off as they won the opening pistol thanks to a sensational 1v3 clutch from Tizian "⁠tiziaN⁠" Feldbusch on the A site. After losing an eco round, G2 tried to hit back in a third-round buy, but the move backfired as smooya got four kills to his name with a Famas.

The game quickly turned into a bloodbath as G2 simply could not find a way through the determined BIG defence. Besides losing most aim duels, the French team looked bereft of ideas, only managing to get on the board 14 rounds into the game. There was no follow-up, however, as BIG rallied back immediately to close out the half with a 14-1 lead, much to the delight of the German crowd.

More misery was to come for G2, who lost the second pistol of the game. The French side still tried to get back in the game with a desperate force-buy, but to no avail as tabseN pulled off a sensational triple kill with a Scout, sending the crowd into ruptures. Their next match, on Saturday at 18:30 , will pit them against FaZe, who swept through their group and will be heavily favoured for this match-up.

NBK & apEX were the problems, SmithZz & Ex6TenZ are the solution, fucking ROFL xD By the way told ya: hltv.org/news/24163/esl-one-cologne-hits.. Now Chuckyyyy disappears with all of his alts and we have no more of his 0/16 baits for some time. It's just how pathetic the French CS is - they can't create even 1 top-tier team, shox wants to play with his buttfriend only and he does not care that he wastes kennyS' talent, and kennyS was dumb enough to have supported that failure-friendly "project" of shox. If you think it will be any different at the major then you have no brain, because that shit is obvious - G2 is going nowhere.

Ex6 said his dream team would contain of SmithZz & NBK. OK he said SmithZz because shox gave him (Ex6) the last chance to play with at least one relevant player (kennyS), but his pick of NBK clearly shows that he want all-arounders (NBK, partially kio) rather than 1-dimentionalists (ScreaM).

I found it extremely funny seeing him all pissed and raged up. Especially after he was egoist prick in the interviews before the game started. In the question when the players were asked "Which PRO you would not like to play against?" or something. He just answered that he fears no one and gave this overconfident asshole smile.

I'd still say this G2 is better getting a close map with Astralis is a very big thing. It's not the best. But better than the previous line up.

It's just 1 map that Astralis might easily be taken by surprise because no one had any idea how G2 would play on dust2. Teams have some single map overperformances from time to time, I'm sure if they had played for the second time, Astralis would've raped G2 easily. gla1ve is a solid IGL, Astralis has lots of firepower, so when they somehow struggle against SmithZz, bodyy and Ex6TenZ, it's just an obvious anomaly. If you need to see them at one more event to know they will never be a team that can win a big event (with kennyS & shox, keep it in mind) - wait another 2 months, no problem, to me everything was clear once they announced the lineup.

Yes. With the Faze and Astralis they won't be winning any tourney. But again most teams play the Faze like puggy style and maybe with a tactical style G2 can counter them and cause upsets more often. Not to mention KennyS is already finding form under ex6 I think boddy and smithzz are the weaker link. And NbK and Apex would be amazing and would make them top3. But the politics sucks. I think it's still better than the previous group exits. And I think as time goes by they can practice more strats as a team so it may work out.

kennyS plays alone, s1mple already proved a team cannot win anything big with only 1 man playing really strong, and your wit may win you some rounds or even a map if you're lucky enough, but it won't win you an event that Astralis attends, I'm sure mibr would also defeat G2, Na`Vi may also fuck them in bo3, like it's too many teams that can do it to G2, you know. The funniest part is that you look at GuardiaN & NiKo and you think they must win, but when it comes to kennyS & shox - people somehow make excuses for their loss to FUCKING BIG!!!! It's silly. To me a team with shox & kennyS should fight for big titles, but they don't, they can't and they won't, their quarterfinal adventure were sponsored by Na`Vi that were known for losing to TyLoo, and by mouz that then lost to motherfucking ENCE, it's not an achievement, at all.

It's very hard to go back to a star role after IGLing. The mindset changes. Shox is playing Very AVG CS now. Like the round in cache he caught off guard by a flash in middle and an ez kill from Boost. Those are ez picks. You're not even giving any damage to the enemy. I think a pro should have such minimal gamesense. But again maybe he was reading the game and didn't realise where he was. We can never know. Moreover he just had his surgery. So idk. If he's gonna get back to the 2015 2016 Shox ever.

I kind of watched shox play after he came back, and he does not even try to play a star role most of the time, may be he doubts himself, may be he doesn't need to (then why the fuck they don't want ScreaM that would play that role???), but if he's not coming back as a star - G2 doesn't have anything to base their game on, having 1 star AWPer is not enough.

Although they didn't make an amazing tournament, they still managed to reach far, I know this is early but I think this lineup is going better than the older one. Congrats to BIG, amazing performance, Smooya is having a big impact in this lineup, if they continue like this they can be a solid tier-1 team.

Why would I even bother talking to a person who are 1. A pathetic baitor looking for attention because he doesn't have friends in life. 2. A person who can't even distinguish "confession" and "opinion" and use it in accordance to their true meaning. Lastly,have the fuck am I suppose to response to you when your English expression is limited to your ESL (English as secondary language) English. How the fuck are you suppose to reply to someone who cant efficiently express himself/itself. The answer is,you can't because any intelligent life forms on this very earth know that talking to a retarded baitor is a hug waste of time. You just don't and at some point you stop bothering about these idiots because arguing with them makes you feel like an idiot too. Srsly why bother arguing with someone who don't even have an argument and didn't follow the basic structure of an legitimate argument. And worst that retard thought he/it was "arguing" with you at the first place. Bla bla bla G2 is bad blablabla as expected Blablabla I am gay admirer of NBK I should have sucked off his dick blablabla now G2 is out I can finally shit on them and brings out the prewritten script I had prepared when G2 face off Navi at the first fucking day of ESL one clogone. Srsly you thought I can't see that your top comment can be written to any loseing match of G2?? You didn't even talk/"analyze"about the match vs BIG you are just here to shit on them and it is so obvious and retarded it hurts. Then again,you are just here to troll and bait. Time for me to rise above and left you rotting in your retardation which knows no bound. And time for some tl; dr to protect your hurt pride.

Because it wasn't an achievement? You would not overhype a team after winning an event that no t1 team attended, would you? If at least mouz turned out being a solid team with Snax, but they turned out being shit, so there was nothing to talk about.

They beat Na'Vi in BO, which fairly speaking can always happen, but them beating mousesports was really unexpected. No one saw that coming. It's their first real event as a team with 2-3 weeks of bootcamping, and they played really well. BIG just had the game of their lives and everyone here in Cologne knows it.

No, mouz being that bad was unexpected, it has nothing to do with G2 or ENCE, it was just the first ever event for mouz with Snax that does not play the role STYKO played, thus they need time to figure out how to act at all. As for Na`Vi - shit happens in bo1, especially to Na`Vi, and not only in bo1 ;-) G2 with NBK looked horrible at their first LAN, but at their second one they only lost to mouz that at that moment was strong enough to take a map off Astralis. No, I'm not saying that that team would ever win a big event, but dude, the new team won't either, so let's just admit that fanboys just wanted to see shox & kennyS playing together and it's enough for them. Teams with only 2 stars need the other 3 to play really well, which can't ever be the case for SmithZz, bodyy and Ex6TenZ, one of them might have a good game, but it's not enough, that's why the other people want them to pick ZywOo or ScreaM, because their lack of firepower is fucking obvious, and it can't be compensated by any strats.

You could jump over objects to get information and the enemy couldn't see you. This bug was used by all pro teams but BIG with gobb used as a normal tactical things. And at the major where all teams used before but not at this kind of level started crying. But valve knew this bug for a half year and didn't fix it. So valve gave permission to use the bug. Now all blame BIG for using it. Foolish kids.

Every team wanted an agreement to not use it, I think it was at the krakow major, but only BIG refused it.. Since then they are assholes, imo

They were honest enough to not get into that agreement, which, in case you whiny bitch have forgotten, also means that other teams would have been morally allowed to use it against THEM. So yeah, keep crying. They never broke a promise, in fact they FORESHADOWED that they would use the bug by not agreeing to the agreement.

You remember PGL Krakow Major in 2017 ? BIG just got a great performance there, getting from the Minor to the Krakow Arena (they lost in quarterfinals). In group stage, they got through on a 3-0 in swiss system, winning against great teams like C9 and SK (I think), only on inferno. They were abusing every time a glitch bug that allowed them to see players jumping against "trump" wall in banana (near car spot), while they were not seen at all from the opponents. They could replicate that at different spots of the map and on different maps as well. They aggreed not using it anymore on the second map but now they're often called "BUG" and not "BIG" because of that.

It feels like I was watching G2-C9 at the ELEAGUE Major again.

If you coudňldnt understand the previous version, probably you should visit some London school. I was writing it while wathcing football and talking to someone, in these conditions things like overlooking some small additions happens so STFU.

its the same thing all over again, either they start off with a bang and continue the form or they start out shit and never improve, this is by far the worst roster for any french team in the last 3 years, by far the worst for Kenny and because he sided with that retard Shox, I no longer care how well he does, because he will lose no matter how many frags he gets every game.
