Map 1: Dust2; Pick: G2; Winner: G2
Starting off at a blistering pace, the G2 offence wiped the floor with Complexity‘s defence. Giving little room for them to get going, G2 swapped halves with a 10-2 scoreline. The massive lead was blown in typical G2 fashion as the North American side made a comeback, pushing the game into overtime. While G2 lost their momentum on the defence, the overtime saw them find their mojo as CoL failed to secure a single round, closing the map with a 16-12 scoreline.
Map 2: Anubis; Pick: CoL; Winner: CoL
Starting on the offence, both teams were equally matched in the first half as neither G2 nor CoL managed to edge out a lead by the end of the first half. CoL started the second half strong, thus putting G2 on the back foot that they couldn’t recover from for the rest of the half. While they managed to win rounds in between, CoL were quick to close out the game, thus winning the series with a 13-10 scoreline. With 27 kills and 1.79 IR, Grim led this team from the front as CoL levelled the series.
Map 3: Ancient; Pick: Decider; Winner: G2
Starting off strong, G2 managed to get outplayed as CoL started strong in their defence. Winning 5 rounds in a row, G2 took charge of the game as they won all the remaining rounds to edge out a 2-round lead by the end of the first half. G2 continued their momentum on the defence as they speed-ran to a series point without dropping rounds, before CoL started to mount a comeback. While CoL won a few rounds, G2 did not let them cross 10 rounds as they closed the map with a 13-10 scoreline.
CoL losing the map requires one more win if they want to make it to the playoffs. Considering their current form, CoL will have a good chance of securing a win in the upcoming matches against the remaining teams.
