G2's stock has been in flux as of late after the European combine went from winning BLAST Fall Final in dominant fashion to crashing out of IEM Rio in last place. In Singapore their form has tended towards the better end of the spectrum, an embarrassing 0-13 loss to Liquid quickly dispelled by two straightforward map wins before this 2-0 victory over Spirit.
This series could have been a more comfortable one for G2; they were 11-5 on Anubis before slipping to OT, and could have wrapped up Mirage sooner if not for some crucial Spirit clutches. Danil "donk" Kryshkovets offered stiff resistance on both maps, but G2 produced more individual impact across the board, particularly Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov, and were ultimately in control for much of the series.
Meanwhile Spirit still have yet to truly find their rhythm since the player break, and their opening games at this tournament did little to suggest that has happened in Singapore. The Russian's opening victory against Vitality came with the asterisk of their opponents playing with a stand-in, and they were chasing G2's tails for the entirety of this series, even if the score lines were close. In recent times G2 have become a bogey team for Spirit; The Russian side are 1-8 in maps against the current iteration of G2.
