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.
