The European side let slip a 10-2 lead to MIBR on the Nuke decider to lose their opening series, and fared little better at the start of the series against their second Brazilian opponent.
ODDIK were in complete control of their Anubis pick, winning 11 out of 12 opening duels in the first half to punish a G2 that had no one taking initiative in their defaults. Italo "ksloks" Meinberg was at the forefront of his team's effort, starting and ending the map with quad kills to finish with a 1.72 rating, with Nikita "HeavyGod" Martynenko's best efforts only enough for G2 to tally eight rounds.
G2 rallied on their Dust2 pick and cut through ODDIK's defenses, looking revitalized and more like the sum of their better parts to storm to a 13-3 win.
However, that momentum ran out when it mattered most on Nuke. ODDIK ran out to an early lead on the offense, thanks in part to an ace from João "naitte" Maia, but G2 rallied to tie the game at the break before taking control by batting away the Brazilian team's force-buy after winning the pistol.
The wheels came off when ODDIK aggressed into Lobby and robbed the next round with pistols, with quad kill and 1v2 rounds from Fillipe "pancc" Martins helping his team hold on to control from that point onward to send G2 to the elimination pool.
