G2 and FURIA secure semi-final spots on day one in Malta

19-12-2019 23:03

G2 and FURIA secured the first two semi-final spots after topping their respective groups at the end of the first day of Champions Cup Finals.

The first day at Saint Julian's began with the opening best-of-one matchups of each group, with Group A witnessing a huge surprise already as ENCE fell to Movistar Riders in a one-sided Overpass affair, with FURIA joining the Spaniards in the winners' match after narrowly beating out TYLOO on Mirage.

In Group B, Hard Legion came out on top of the Russian derby against Spirit 16-14 on Train, while G2 opened the tournament by coming back from a 3-7 start on Inferno versus BIG to set up a clash against the Svyatoslav "⁠svyat⁠" Dovbakh-led side.

G2 overcame BIG and Hard Legion en route to playoffs

As the tournament turned to the winners' matches, Movistar Riders continued to put up a fight in another uphill battle against FURIA, but the Brazilian squad beat back Lucas "⁠steel⁠" Lopes's team after stepping up late on both maps, winning Inferno 16-10 and Nuke 16-13 to clinch the first playoffs spot.

G2 and Hard Legion followed to close out the opening day in Malta and, despite a closely-contested first half of Vertigo, the Frenchmen lived up to the status of the favorites with a straightforward second half and a convincing victory on Mirage.

huNter is actually a fucking god, he deserves a tier 1 team -stewie +huNter on liquid please

2019-12-20 01:38

what if he joined hunter's cousin at faze?

2019-12-20 03:02

would be a waste, faze dont need someone like him. they need an igl who can bring structure liquid can use someone who makes room with big impact kills and huNter is one of the best at that. thats why he would fit well in liquid, he can do everything stewie can but better

2019-12-20 03:39

doubt that, huNter cant do yelling better than stewie.

2019-12-20 07:44

hahahahah really stewie screams more than throws

With Aleksib we just tried to play default and did the same executes all over again, so that's how it's different with allu always trying something new

2019-12-20 03:27

Hi my name is Aleksi “allu” Jalli. Playing CS:GO in the professional competitive scene is not about winning but about having fun with my best friends Mika “sunNy” Firepower, Sami “xseveN” Jump-peak, Jani “Aerial” Snake, and Jere “sergej” Farm-kills. AleksiB is not my friend therefore, because he likes playing bench on mirage, I put him there forever.
