G2 crush GamerLegion; to Charleroi Esports semis

The last semi-final spot at Charleroi Esports was taken by G2, who secured a confident 2-0 win over GamerLegion (16-4 Nuke, 16-6 Overpass) to book a match against Vitality tomorrow.

The Group B decider at Charleroi Esports saw G2 take on GamerLegion, with the first map being Nuke, G2's pick. Starting on the T side, they managed to establish control after an initial period which saw some force-buys traded back and forth (6-1). GamerLegion then mustered a tight round thanks to Hampus "⁠hampus⁠" Poser, and followed it up with two more to make the round deficit just two.

However, the tide of the game shifted after that, with Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub and Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon taking the reigns and pulling their team out of some difficult situations to streak together five more rounds before the end of the half (11-4). GamerLegion's T-side pistol was quickly shut down thanks to Lucas "⁠Lucky⁠" Chastang who grabbed a double with an incendiary, and after that, it was just a matter of time before G2 closed it out, with the final score being 16-4.

shox and kennyS stood out on Nuke

The action then moved to Overpass, where GamerLegion bagged a 3-0 start after winning the Terrorist pistol, only to get shut down by Audric "⁠JACKZ⁠" Jug's AUG 4K in the first rifle round. G2 looked like the better team from that point ownards, with Kévin "⁠Ex6TenZ⁠" Droolans' side claiming only two more rounds before the end of the half, finishing it 10-5 down.

A much-needed pistol round for GamerLegion came down to the 1v1 after plant on A, but didn't go their way as François "⁠amanek⁠" Delaunay took down Ex6TenZ and pushed his side towards a big lead. At 13-5, GamerLegion locked down the approaches to win a fairly clean round, but G2 answered back shortly with a kennyS triple before closing out the second map 16-6, and the series 2-0.
