G2 dominate OG; secure BLAST Spring Series Finals spot

With a 2-0 victory over OG (16-8 Nuke, 16-6 Dust2), G2 have secured a spot at the BLAST Spring Series Finals in Moscow and will be playing for the first spot in group C tomorrow.

On their map pick, Nuke, OG started off with a 3-0 lead as Terrorists, but their run was halted early as Audric "⁠JACKZ⁠" Jug locked down ramp with a quad kill. G2 picked up momentum after that, and utilized a pretty static defense to go on an eight-round winning streak.

After getting close to it in round 11, OG finally got their first rifle round in round 12 as Mateusz "⁠mantuu⁠" Wilczewski resolved a 1v2 on B, and his side managed five before switching to the defenses. Nathan "⁠NBK-⁠" Schmitt nailed three with the P2000 in the pistol and gave OG the much-needed edge in the second half, but they couldn't build on it, and just like in the first half, G2 took over in the rifle rounds and claimed the map 16-8.

Valdemar "⁠valde⁠" Bjørn Vangså and Issa "⁠ISSAA⁠" Murad both had to step up in the pistol round to set up OG for a 3-0 lead on Dust2, however, the story from Nuke repeated and they were unable to build upon that. Nemanja "⁠huNter-⁠" Kovač and Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub were causing issues for OG's B defense, clutching a 2v4, as the French-Serbian side ran up a huge lead, 8-3. Despite a few rounds coming close, G2 finished the half with an impressive 12-round winning streak.

With a massive lead, G2 opted for a risky mid push in their CT pistol, which worked out perfectly and got them within reach of the series victory. The score was 15-3 when OG managed to break out through Long doors and secure their round since the beginning of the game. NBK- and co. managed to streak three rounds together before huNter- clutched a 1v2 to close out the map 16-6 and take the series convincingly.
