NAVI defeat G2 and seal semi-final berth

G2 couldn't capitalize on a strong start and will have to begin their playoff campaign in the quarter-finals.

w0nderful's stellar showing on Dust2 helped NAVI mount a comeback

Natus Vincere have continued their excellent recent form by comfortably dispatching of G2 2-0 to secure a semi-final spot at BLAST Premier Fall Final. Aleksi "⁠Aleksib⁠" Virolainen and company recovered from a slow start to take Dust2 (13-9) before closing the series on Ancient (13-9).

G2 still have a playoff campaign ahead of them despite their loss, which they will kick off with a quarter-final matchup against the winner of Astralis vs. Spirit. Natus Vincere meanwhile will await one of FaZe, Vitality or Liquid in the semi-finals.

Since Natus Vincere went international mid-way through last year, G2 have suffered from a torrid record against them. That record now extends to 9-0 in Natus Vincere's favour, an unsurprising fact considering Natus Vincere have positioned themselves as the best team in the world in recent months.

Once Natus Vincere had shaken off a poor start to this series, they made light work of G2. Ilya "⁠m0NESY⁠" Osipov's potent AWPing helped G2 to an 8-1 lead on the T side of Dust2, only for Natus Vincere's own sniper, Ihor "⁠w0nderful⁠" Zhdanov, to take over the game. The Ukrainian bagged multi-kill after multi-kill, including a 4k to rescue a 2v5 scenario, as Natus Vincere went on a 12-1 run to close the map.

There was no slow start for Natus Vincere on Ancient as they bullied G2 with a dynamic and well-coordinated T side. Natus Vincere made some questionable economic decisions early on their defensive half, allowing G2 to mount a cosmetic comeback, but once their money was in order, Natus Vincere sealed the deal.

Liquid did it on BLAST but i doubt they can do that unless they fix their T side but they do show glimpses of great game especially vs Vitality on EPL then they choke the next game, Vitality legit did it in Cologne GF
