Astralis beat G2 to go 2-0

Astralis had a strong Terrorist side on Nuke to defeat G2 16-7 and move to the 2-0 pool of the New Legends Stage.

G2 were off to the races on Nuke, winning the attacking pistol round and taking a 4-1 lead, Astralis won a forcebuy on the sixth, but then the French team won a force of their own hitting the top site and going down the vents to plant on B with SMGs. Astralis completely outplayed G2 on the ninth round, losing only one player before going on to tie it up the following round against pistols. The Danes then took the lead heading into the half, abeit only barely, 8-7.

Astralis managed to shake off a slow start to beat G2

A double by Nicolai "⁠device⁠" Reedtz in a 3vs3 afterplant gave Astralis the second pistol round as Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub could not find any of the three players left against him. Having taken the second round of the half, Astralis furthered their lead with a fast play on A to catch G2 off balance. Up 12-7, device got two entry kills with the AWP in a round that ended up in a close 2vs2 afterplant on A that Andreas "⁠Xyp9x⁠" Højsleth was able to clutch out in a 1vs1.

In a half that saw Astralis win the crucial rounds in tight situations, they were able to close out the match in an absurd round thanks to a B plant that the French players were unable to find in time. With that 16-7 victory over G2, Astralis round out the 2-0 pool in Berlin.

I think they didnt notice the defuse or they thought someone else is defusing, can happen, especially when the pressure is high and you lose some communication and concentration. astralis would have won this in the next rounds probably so no problem

I think G2 was just very unlucky with many of the rounds and timings. Especially if they would win 5v2 they could pull the game right into their hands. There were many other rounds where they had an upper hand in a certain round but they just throwed it away. Was laughing for the last round tho sad times.

G2 down 7-15 vs astralis when they managed to kill the whole team of the danes BUT It was at that very moment that G2 started questioning their existence. Like, why are we fighting? Why should we find the bomb? Then the french blood rises and suddenly that feeling that they just need to surrender. The 2 frenchies running on their way to the t base to find the muslims and surrender, shox and company followed. The Timer runs out and the bomb exploded! like their conscience and ambitions exploding into mysteries and questions. G2 Chronicles! to be continued
