G2 have eliminated Cloud9 with a 22-19 victory on Inferno at the FACEIT Major New Legends Stage.

The Inferno game featuring two teams with 1-2 records started with G2 on the CT-side. Cloud9 secured the pistol round with Martin "⁠STYKO⁠" Styk and William "⁠RUSH⁠" Wierzba's double kills and made it 3-0 after straightforward anti-eco rounds.

Alexandre "⁠bodyy⁠" Pianaro got a triple kill in the first weapon round to win it for G2 but Cloud9 reacted two rounds later and went on to make it 6-2. G2 managed to recover and finished the first half with a 8-7 lead.

G2 remain alive

The Franco-Belgian team took the B-site in the second pistol and led 11-7 following anti-eco wins. Cloud9 responded with a retake in the first weapon round and followed it up with three more rounds to tie it the game at 11-11.

Cloud9 acquired a match point with Timothy "⁠autimatic⁠" Ta's 1vs2 and a 2vs3 retake a round later but G2 were able to get the 30th round and take the game to overtime.

G2 closed out the game in the second overtime, winning the map 22-19 to improve their record to 2-2 at the FACEIT Major New Legends Stage. Meanwhile, Cloud9's run in the tournament has come to an end.

flair checks out

2018-09-15 19:23

at least shox is back i guess...

2018-09-15 19:27

Kenny is playing well as far as I am concerned, so is smithzz

bodyy and ex6 low fragging capability is what's holding them down

2018-09-15 20:26

except shox and kenny everyone else in that team are crap all the time so no surprise

RIP

2nd

RIP MAJOR CHAMPIONS

TK9

LUL love how everyone is trying to get the first comment

Last major for Styko mark my words

Nice struggle against a T3 team. Nice not buying an AK for shox in the 28th round, your topfragger didn't need it. And every T round they won was DESPITE them playing like a silvers mix from MM. G2's only chance to get to the playoffs is to get matched against HellRaisers, and even against HellRaisers it shall be a really tough game with HellRaisers having more chances to win, and the other possible opponents will easily rape G2.

vs MIBR 20/80 vs FaZe 20/80 vs NiP 30/70 vs fnatic 35/65 It's the end, and their 2 so-called wins will mislead them, telling them they're doing things right and have any chance in the future, it's the worst that can happen to a team with no potential - to start thinking that any potential will come in 2-3 months of "hard work", as if they were doing nothing in the last 3.5 months, like how much more do you need to fucking start showing any signs of a T1 team?.. I'm laughing hard at Ocelote, the dude made lots of money, now he's wasting lots of money to pay those noobs.

Thats what they would say about complexity at the start of new Legends stage hahahaha, this Game isnt as predictable as it was before, u may get surprised (or not)

compLexity played pretty decent, at least they won rounds that they worked well enough to win, unlike G2 that managed to take rounds only thanks to luck and some individual skill combined with their enemies' mistakes. Seriously, where are any smart plays, I watch G2 really carefully and there was nothing worth mentioning, I'm not sure how drunk 5 guys should be to play like that for all that time they're together.

Before new legends no people thought that. It is what I mean.

2018-09-15 19:43

compLexity played pretty well and showed something, G2 played like bots and showed nothing, feel the difference.

2018-09-15 19:44

We'll see, though. They didnt play that bad.

2018-09-15 19:46

I laugh to see you always saying shit We all know you suck nbcry and that you are mad Hahahahahaha

2018-09-15 20:16

bark more, my little friend xD

2018-09-15 20:19

have you ever posted any positive comment in your whole life? You're hating on every existing team in CS:GO

2018-09-15 19:47

yes

Well, you're not wrong anyway so...

2018-09-15 19:48

Fucking shit show

2018-09-15 19:24

NA CS OMEGALUL

autimatic nice.

someone save shox

TFW skadoodle was the only one that performed XD

Yay

autimatic from zero to hero in few second ; / losing match because teamkill on skaddoodle ; o

WP G2. Autimatic lost that tbh... I dont get why push the site when its 1on1 (actually 2on1, but you miss kill your teammate..) and bomb is planted. *facepalm*

Autimatic should have been in pit

2018-09-15 19:22

Yea, should have been, but he wasnt. I bet he was thinking he has to be the hero after killing his teammate... But whyyyy, play it safe.

2018-09-15 19:38

Expected

Bb toxic na fans

Feels bad, at least it was close

shox is monster. and TK9 LUL

autimatic must be kicking himself, feelsbadman

au revoir

OH MY GOD KENNYS!?!?! yeaah boooois good bye c9

Sad for C9....

G2 will go home tommorow anyway no difference

rip styko

Shame to watch this clownfiesta for 2-2 knowing that mouz have been thrown to liquid,faze and mibr.

They’ve disappointed NA... Even CompLexity made it through

Basically no one except some overly optimistic/even delusional people thought C9 would make it to top 8.

2018-09-15 19:18

Probably better they didn't miraculously get legend status because the whole roster might need a revamp without worrying about who they have to keep for the legend spot. Rush, styko, & golden could go away and you wouldn't hear many complaints

2018-09-15 19:25

they'll still have to worry about that because they'll get invited to challengers stage. only winstrike and mousesports won't get invited because they finished 0-3. if they change 3 players they'll have to go through open/closed qualifiers (probably invited to closed) and then minor.

oh thats right my b

2018-09-15 19:33

Lmao autimatic tk cost the game haha Sunday , September 23 2018 : Autimatic benched , Vallen Standin for Cloud9

rip clown9

I wished see c9 in finals instances but gg

M A J O R C H A M P I O N S

shoxieJESUS but rip major winners

where is the people saying STYKO was not problem in mouz??

he is not main problem for sure

mouz 0/3 btw and they will disband soon, just wait

2018-09-15 19:21

STKYO = snax maybe i dont know why mouz bring thus polish

2018-09-15 20:49

i‘d still prefer him over snax

LET S GO G2 !!!

Almost losing to clown9... G2 more like MG2

ShoxieJesus Is Back

2018-09-15 19:19

Choke9

people talking about fnatic but G2 still in the tournament is the biggest joke ever, they suck so much its unreal and yet thorin keep on sucking them

I believe that they can get better but they will never have firepower to be top 5. either bodyy or smithzz has to go or kennys should consider joining nbk&apex.

i place bet on C9+2,5 and i think i won but ...

Stickos haha

styko throw, i watched him bait his team so much it was crazy, anytime he rotated he basically baited rush to die over and over again. Sad day, team has potential if ska keeps it up when i matters and golden can get a grip on calling. still need a better igl though. Golden only won bc krimz and flusha played like they used to, nothing to do with strats

stinko ahahaha

"Send them home" Laughing here KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Worst game ever

Clownfiesta

FaZe is gonna destroy G2 on D2 and Mirage

Sad to say but it's time to dismantle the C9 roster and start over. There are too many internal issues for this team to compete at a Tier 1 level with this group.

2018-09-15 19:26

-taco +autimatic = next level

2018-09-15 19:32

They should use NRG players as the backbone of their new team, keep auti and kick the rest

2018-09-15 19:34

Auti will kick himself with that tk thats so frustrating

Shox would've gotten the kill anyways

2018-09-15 19:35

Not good

styko what a trash player can't clutch, baiting teammates. Just an average player when he does best. Please kick him, and get a better igl than golden.

skadoodle still destroyed soyboyS LUL

2018-09-15 19:42

worst match I have ever seen

bring back virtus pro

SEND THEM HOME SEND THEM HOME SEND THEM HOME

When you lose against these teams(at a pro level ofc) and your only win is by a scratch against winstrike one of the worst cis teams. The you go to the drawing board and you make the team from scratch. That was a shitshow
