PGL CS2 Major Copenhagen 2024G2 brush aside MOUZ to reach semi-finals in Copenhagen
MOUZ's young guns once again struggled on stage in the playoffs of a big event.
G2 are through to the semi-final stage of PGL Major Copenhagen after a 2-0 victory over MOUZ in a one-sided series that highlighted the issues that the young team continues to experience in stage matches. Just like in Katowice, they were outclassed in a playoff match, this time by a G2 team that delivered their best performance of the Major so far, just days after edging past Virtus.pro in a controversial series because of a technical issue in a crucial round.
Today's match was not without its fair share of drama, either, after the second map was interrupted by an on-stage incident. But G2 kept their composure at all times, and they'll be riding a huge wave of confidence for Saturday's match against Natus Vincere.

"The result speaks for itself," Nikola "NiKo" Kovač said after the match. "I'm very happy with how we played both maps. It's looking good so far in the playoffs. Everything is going well in our camp right now."
The series kicked off on Inferno, G2's map pick, with Rasmus "HooXi" Nielsen nearly pulling off a 1v4 clutch in the pistol round before fluffing his lines. That didn't rattle G2, who hit back immediately on a force buy and rode that momentum to a 7-1 lead. It was only then that MOUZ finally managed to get a foothold in the game, with the half ending with an 8-4 scoreline.
G2 added to their lead after the side switch, picking up three rounds in a row after a successful pistol in which the Kovač cousins shared all five kills between them. With guns in hand, MOUZ enjoyed a spell of dominance, but by then it was too late: G2 tightened up and locked down the map in the 22nd round, unfazed by a 1v2 clutch by Kamil "siuhy" Szkaradek minutes earlier.
G2 carried their momentum to the second map, Vertigo, and stormed to a 6-0 lead on the CT side. Ludvig "Brollan" Brolin and Ádám "torzsi" Torzsás stepped up to the plate and helped MOUZ close the gap to one round after a 5-0 run, with G2 then winning the final round of the half.
After a 30-minute delay because of a stage invasion, the match resumed, and things looked promising for MOUZ at first as they won the pistol round with ease. However, G2 responded immediately on a force buy and put together a string of rounds to lock down the map and seal a semi-final berth in Copenhagen.
