Incredible Victory: 3D MAX Defeat G2 and Qualify for Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024
The French team 3D MAX triumphed over Niko's G2, securing their spot in the main stage of the Shanghai Major 2024. Both teams entered this match with a record of 2-0.
This BO3 series turned out to be a shocking upset for fans and analysts alike. All three maps were played, starting with Anubis, where G2 Esports claimed a dominant victory with a score of 13:5. After such a strong performance, analysts gave 3D MAX little chance, especially with Dust2, one of G2's strongest maps, coming up next. However, 3D MAX had surprises in store, delivering a confident performance and winning Dust2 13:6. The deciding map was Ancient, and the battle raged until the very last round. Displaying incredible resilience and character, 3D MAX overcame G2, a team ranked significantly higher than them, and clinched the hard-fought victory with a score of 13:11.
Qualifying for the main stage of the Shanghai Major 2024 is an extraordinary achievement for the French roster. Along the way, they defeated strong opponents, including OG, The Mongolz, and finally G2. Notably, this marks 3D MAX's first Major appearance since DreamHack Winter 2014, where they finished 13th-16th, failing to advance from the group stage.
For G2, the path to the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024 isn't over yet. With a current record of 2-1 in the tournament, they still have another chance to fight for qualification tomorrow.
