Astralis beat G2 to go 2-0

29-8-2019 22:05

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.

2019-08-29 22:12

VOLVO or Valve?)

2019-08-29 22:28

Obviously Volvo, you think Valve does anything nowdays?

2019-08-30 16:49

Yes, for sure

2019-08-29 22:37

Yes man, great idea :D Should read "Defuse here, s'il vous plait !" Frenchies would not like it but it's bloody funny to see a Ninja Bomb go off with 4 CT Alive :)

2019-08-29 23:06

Hehe yes!

2019-08-30 06:10

Well, the G2 twitter and CEO of G2 have been laughing at what happened so maybe G2 fans might also not take it seriously

Well it's kinda embaressing for them but I'll still cheer for G2. If you're a fan you're always a fan so... And things like this you have to take with some distance

Good, you didn't take it seriously Most real fans of a team won't stop supporting the team just because of a idiotic mistake they did

2019-08-30 13:27

2019-08-30 15:37

2019-08-30 18:42

yo les noobs

Indeed

2019-08-29 22:08

LUL

Quite sure it was a communication issue, everyone thought someone else was defusing. Maybe they thought KennyS was defusing... well he was dead :D Kenny will be quite pissed hahaha

2019-08-29 22:07

Holy fucking shit what is G2 doing. They litterally threw the game on the last round and kenny rushed every round. Shox was not able to get his aim straight and kept dying instantly what the hell was this

Astralis just better

Threw the game? Needed 7 rounds after that wierd ass round to get to OT. They were out classed by better team. Ez.

2019-08-29 22:40

couldn't win one Ct round before the blunder, surely they were capable of turning it around winning 7 in a row

2019-08-29 22:44

Gg wp! Bizar last round tho...

G2 last round wanted to play like IBP

What the fuck actually happened for G2?? Did they turn off their brains?

DISBAND

Amazing defence by G2

2019-08-29 22:09

not a loose lesson to learn

NINJA BOMB PLANT VS FRENCH BOTS XAXAXAXA

Hahahahahahahahahhahaha

hahahahahha. Can you also share the clip pls? I dont wanna wait them to upload whole day.

clips.twitch.tv/HonorableInnocentJaguarM..

G2 worse than a joke.

2019-08-29 22:10

Why no defuse? Why??

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

2019-08-30 00:16

Imagine the score was 15-14, would made me chuckle.. Ouf xd

2019-08-30 08:28

yeah, you're right :D

2019-09-01 14:33

focebuy use a spellchecker please.

nice save hahahaa

G2 just did French thing: surrendered

2019-08-29 22:13

lol

2019-08-30 06:13

what a throw

2019-08-29 22:14

last round LUL baguettes noobs

Last round lmfaoo

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.

2019-08-29 22:17

bro that last round LMAO

2019-08-29 22:18

Can someone make a G2 steam avatar worthy of this game for the LuLs? XD XD XD XD XD

2019-08-29 22:20

navi lost to this.

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
