G2 oust M80 from PGL Astana

G2's labored campaign without huNter- continues after a hard-earned win.

G2's run at PGL Astana continues after they survived their first elimination match in Kazakhstan, notching a 2-1 win over M80 in the 0-2 pool of the Swiss group stage.

M80 have been ousted from the tournament in last place after the North American side faced some difficult opposition, losing to Natus Vincere and Virtus.pro in the first two rounds.

Their third match against G2 looked perhaps the most promising, but a missed opportunity to win the Dust2 opener end up costing them. M80 nearly pulled it back from a slow Counter-Terrorist side, but after racking up a lead with a great start to their offense, they lost a crucial 3v2 afterplant situation to give G2 a way back in.

The North American side then converted their Ancient pick off the back of an inspired Elias "⁠s1n⁠" Stein performance in the CT side closing, but struggled to find openings or convert clutches in an Inferno decider where they always looked on the back foot.

"An absolute horror show from us"

The short campaign marked M80's last tournament appearance before they participate in the BLAST.tv Austin Major from Stage 2, kicking off on June 7.

The team's coach, Rory "⁠dephh⁠" Jackson took to X following the loss to share his frustration with the performance and pledge to improve by the time the Major comes around.

"Just an absolute horror show of a tournament from us," the coach said. "We took a break for visa problems, but how we played is kinda inexcusable. One promise is that we will be better than we showed here at Austin."

Even s1n overperforming as the IGL couldn't take down G2 without their full roster. GG to G2 for staying alive with TaZ.
