IEM Summer 2021: G2 will play Vitality in the Group A final
/G2 beat FunPlus Phoenix at IEM Summer 2021 with a score of 2: 1 and reached the final of the upper bracket, where they will face the Vitality team.
The meeting began at the brand new Ancient. Despite the individual superiority of G2, Maden decided to prove that he had mastered the map perfectly and single-handedly closed the opponent. As a result, FunPlus Phoenix played excellently in the attack, multiplying the excellent knowledge of the map by the individual performance of the Montenegrin player, which brought the team victory on the first map - 16:12.
On Dust 2, the intrigue persisted until the last rounds, as the teams exchanged economic streaks for a long time and could not run ahead. However, everything was decided at the very end of the map, where G2 showed several confident bombs and seized the initiative. Despite an attempt by FunPlus Phoenix to return, G2 managed to secure a 16:13 win at its peak and go to the third decisive map.
Despite all expectations, the intrigue on Inferno was gone from the very beginning, as G2 continued to dominate the attack, taking 11 rounds after the end of the first half. However, the side switching did not help the FunPlus Phoenix players, who, after losing the pistol round, were unable to return to the game. Thus, G2 won the third map with a score of 16:10 and secured a place in the playoffs of the tournament.
