3DMAX Eliminate G2 Esports from ESL Pro League Season 22
3DMAX defeated G2 Esports 2-0 in the final Swiss round of ESL Pro League Season 22, held on October 8 in Stockholm, Sweden. The best-of-three series decided which team would qualify for playoffs, with 3DMAX moving forward and G2 being eliminated from the tournament.
The French roster took control early, winning their map pick, Inferno, 13–11 after a tightly contested match that ended with strong entries from malbsMd and Graviti. They followed up with a dominant showing on Dust2, closing out 13–6 to complete the sweep. Ancient remained unplayed as the 2-0 result was sealed.
Top performers for 3DMAX included Pierre “Ex3rcice” Bulinge and Filip “Graviti” Brankovic, both finishing with a 1.21+ rating. The duo’s consistent multi-kill rounds and aggressive map control proved decisive in shutting down G2’s momentum.

The defeat marked a disappointing end for G2, whose recent lineup changes failed to bring the expected stability. Despite strong individual performances from Matúš “MATYS” Šimko and Álvaro “SunPayus” García, the European side couldn’t find rhythm in team coordination.
ESL Pro League Season 22, running from October 4 to 12 in Stockholm, features 16 international teams competing for a $1,000,000 prize pool. With this win, 3DMAX join the playoff bracket alongside top performers such as Spirit, MOUZ, and Falcons.
G2’s 2-3 record ends their campaign before playoffs, while 3DMAX continues their strong run representing France on the global CS2 stage. Their next opponent in the playoffs will be announced after the conclusion of the Swiss round matches later this week.
