Game 2 Picks:

The first map was a complete stomp by Gen.G — Top Esports stood no chance. Gen.G were several steps ahead in every aspect of the game, both macro and micro. They controlled the entire map, rotated perfectly in time, and grouped up exactly when needed. The team operated like a well-oiled machine, clearly showing why they’re considered the best team in the world right now.
The second map also went entirely under Gen.G’s control. Top Esports tried to fight back and make use of every bit of space they could find, but in teamfights, Gen.G’s coordination and mechanics were simply on another level. A dominant 2-0 victory for Gen.G.
With this win, Gen.G advance to the Knockout Stage with a 3-1 record. Top Esports, now sitting at 2-2, find themselves in a dangerous position and will soon have to fight for their tournament survival in the next round.
