G2 secure upper semis spot over FURIA at BLAST Premier Fall Finals

In a rematch from last week's DreamHack Masters Winter upper bracket series on the exact same maps, G2 took their revenge to drop FURIA into the lower bracket at BLAST.

The French-Balkan team will next face the winner of the OG-BIG in the upper bracket semi-finals, while FURIA will lock horns with the loser of the aforementioned opening match in the lower bracket.

Inferno looked like a walk in the park for FURIA, who seemed to have G2's defense all figured out just like the last time the two teams faced each other last week. Constantly abusing picks all over the map, the Brazilians steamrolled Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković and company on the back of an 11-4 first half, clinching the opening map 16-5 to enter the series on a strong foot.

huNter pulled G2 over the finish line with a big Nuke performance

A crazy Mirage affair followed where G2 had to stay strong mentally to equalize the series, as they gave up two big early advantages on both sides. The French-Balkan side was first up 6-2 as Terrorists before FURIA's double AWP setup ruined the half for them, and in the second half the Brazilians came back from a 11-15 deficit with repeat executes towards the B bombsite. However, G2 prevailed in overtime after all, thanks to Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač and Nemanja "⁠huNter-⁠" Kovač clutching back-to-back 1v2s.

Just like in the previous series between the two teams, the match came down to a Nuke decider. This time it was G2 who came out on top despite slow starts in both halves, with huNter- and François "⁠amanek⁠" Delaunay putting up the brunt of the numbers and nexa helping out late in the game with several impactful multikills to push his team over the finish line.

dude he was averaging 50 damage per round as AWPER the guy that needs most money and should get good stats every game... your the retard if you think these stats are okay also he doesn't play smart at all and mispositions all the time its not only the missed shots its rather him losing entry duels so often forcing team to play 4v5 i'd agree that he is an ok pistol player and rifler though

well its changed within 1 day bro....never sleep on the beast. Let me tell since the origin of CSGO, kennyS is the only consistent awper, yes he had slumps for few weeks and months in between, but he always comes back on top again. guardian was close to consistent but now he is gone from the scene and also i don't consider device and simple as pure awpers. sure they are better players than kennyS.

This furia is fantastic. Just needs to work on communication, aim, map awareness, crosshair placement, economy management, pistol aim, awp flicks, grenade spots, smoke spots, pop flashes, positioning, bomb plant positions, retake ability, bunny hopping, spray control...
