How did they win the Allied Esports Odyssey?

G2 kicked off the tournament with some very troubling results, as they placed 3rd in the final group stage with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. Their 2 wins were versus BBL and NiP, and their draws were against Giants and Liquid. Their first and only loss was versus the new FunPlus Phoenix roster.

Playoffs

They were placed in the 1st round of the Upper Bracket versus FPX, which they won 13-10. This led to them progressing through to the Upper Bracket Final versus their main rivals, Team Liquid. Luckily for G2 it was only a best of 1, and they managed to win 13-9 to go ahead in the Grand Finals.

Meanwhile FPX were climbing their way up the Losers bracket, and won versus Team Liquid in the Losers bracket final to get their spot in the Grand Final for one Final match versus the kings of Europe, G2.

Finals

The maps for the Grand Final were Ascent and Bind which are 2 strong maps for both teams. The first map was definitely the one to watch, however FPX did not manage to perform at their best, so G2 took a very convincing win on Ascent, winning 13-5.

For Bind, FPX opted for an agent swap by changing the Sage to a Breach, which definitely improved their results as they had a very dominant attacking side. Despite this, G2 was even stronger on their attacking side and they won the Grand Finals with a clean 2-0 versus the team that gave them the first loss at the start of the event. Here’s how it ended:

Who can stop this team?

Here at the Allied Esports Odyssey, G2 had a small taste of defeat by losing a few maps. Who knows, maybe Liquid or FPX might be the lucky ones to take them down in the next event? One thing is for sure, this European roster has accomplished many things in the past few months and we can’t wait to see what they do next!
