G2 Crush FURIA to Reach FISSURE Playground 3 Semifinals

G2 became the final team to reach the FISSURE Playground 3 semifinals after defeating FURIA 2:0. The European side edged out a tense Ancient before completely dominating Dust2.

In the first map, FURIA emerged as the favored team in the first half with 7:5. Moreover, FURIA was 11:7 ahead in the pistol round and almost won Ancient but then G2 stabilized their defense and began playing back.

MATYS helped his team win several crucial rounds, and although G2 could not close the map in regulation, they eventually secured a 16:14 victory in overtime.

Having just experienced a very tough defeat, FURIA failed to pull themselves together on their map choice, Dust2. The second map of the series went in favor of G2 much easier than the first one, as G2 controlled the pace of the game and the Brazilian team could hardly do anything to stop them. G2 won 13:3 in the second map and the series ended in two games.

This victory became especially important for G2, as the team managed to secure the fourth place in a Major event for the first time in more than a year after BLAST Open London.
