G2 move past MIBR to reach EPL quarters

After MIBR's impressive win over Spirit, G2 denied the Brazilians a direct path to the quarter-finals.

NiKo led the charge for G2 versus MIBR

The final match of Group B of ESL Pro League Season 20 has drawn to a close, with G2 taking down MIBR in a playoff seeding match to move straight to the quarter-finals in Malta.

Not originally considered to be a top contender in the group, MIBR impressed viewers with a 2-1 victory over Russian heavyweights Spirit in the group's upper-bracket semi-final, booking them a place in playoffs early on.

G2 meanwhile headed into Group B's seeding match after surviving a close series versus 3DMAX, recovering from an opening map loss thanks to strong showings from young guns Ilya "⁠m0NESY⁠" Osipov and Mario "⁠malbsMd⁠" Samayoa.

With this result, G2 join Natus Vincere in enjoying the luxury of bypassing the first two rounds of playoffs, heading straight to the top eight of the 16-team bracket. Conversely, MIBR will move past only the first round for free.

The series between G2 and MIBR kicked off on the latter side's pick of Anubis, where Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski's men hit the ground running with a 6-0 start. MIBR composed themselves in the latter portion of the half, clambering back into the match to end with a 5-7 first half.

A pistol round win for the Brazilians to kick off the second half narrowed the deficit to just a single round, but G2 denied the conversion, using this opportunity to storm ahead of MIBR once again, soon closing out the map 13-8.

MIBR managed a better start on G2's pick of Inferno, taking a 4-1 lead thanks to winning out the opening pistol round, but G2 whittled away this lead with a strong offense to close out the half 7-5.

MIBR tied things up once again after denying G2 from converting their pistol round win in the second half, but once guns found their way into the hands of the European combine the map slipped away from the Brazilian side, as G2 locked down Inferno with a 13-8 scoreline.

They lost 2-3 matches with this roster so far? Their win rate must be sky high cause they have become crazy consistent.
