G2 become first team to reach PGL Major playoffs after defeating Entropiq

Damien "⁠maLeK⁠" Marcel's boys earned a spot in the Champions Stage.

G2 have secured another chapter to their PGL Stockholm Major adventure after sweeping Entropiq 2-0. The French-Balkan mix will play in the Avicii Arena after a convincing 3-0 Legends Stage which featured victories against Copenhagen Flames and FaZe.

The CIS squad are meanwhile relegated to the 2-1 pool and have two more chances to qualify to the knockout stage. Their group stage currently displays wins against Gambit and Liquid.

NiKo and AmaNEK shined against Entropiq

G2 started the series strongly against Entropiq, taking the first pistol round on Mirage and earning an early 5-0 but a brief turnaround from Aleksei "⁠NickelBack⁠" Trofimov's squad made the half competitive, with the Russians leading 8-7 at halftime. Despite a solid defense from Entropiq which brought the game all the way to 30 rounds, key frags from François "⁠amanek⁠" Delaunay secured the edge in favor of G2 16-14.

The Russians were unable to take their chances on Dust2, failing to turn two pistol round victories into winning streaks as G2 converted both force buys. Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač and amanek shut down any plans Entropiq had for a comeback as they cruised for a 16-8 victory and a 2-0 sweep.

FaZe Clan are not Dark Horses, they are underdogs with high upset potential. Nobody expected Entropiq or CPH Flames to be victorious, more so CPH Flames than Entropiq.

Yes he is criminally underrated, when "on" he is actually good. If he elevates his AWPing to theses heights consistently G2 are gonna be a contender for this major. They seem on point this far, it's been a LONG while since they haven't looked this solid.
