G2 crush Lynn Vision 2-0 as HeavyGod lights up the server
G2 came into IEM Dallas 2025 with expectations on their shoulders—and in their opening match, they delivered. The European squad took down China’s Lynn Vision 2-0 in the Group A upper bracket quarterfinal, securing a confident start to their campaign. The standout of the night? None other than Nikita "HeavyGod" Martynenko, who exploded with 52 kills and a 1.98 rating over just two maps.
Lynn Vision kicked things off by picking Nuke, hoping to surprise the higher-ranked G2, but it quickly turned into a shooting gallery for HeavyGod. With a blazing 10:2 first half, G2 steamrolled to a 13-6 win. Inferno was more contested, but huNter- and hades added just enough firepower to shut the door. Final score: 13-9, 2-0 G2.
While Starry gave a valiant effort with 38 kills and a 1.37 rating, the Chinese side couldn’t handle the pace set by G2’s stars. HeavyGod not only racked up 52 frags but also ended the night with 130.6 ADR, 90.2% KAST, and a monstrous 2.31 impact rating, earning him MVP honours with 81.8% of the vote.
