Standout Performances
The undisputed MVP of the series was whzy, who showcased exceptional mechanical skill across Jett, Sova, and KAY/O, ending the match with a 24/19/4 statline and an impressive ACS nearing 267. His multi-kills and map awareness consistently gave Bilibili the edge.
Support came from nephh, playing a utility-heavy KAY/O/Viper combo. With approximately 39 total kills, he anchored both sites and rotations with smart positioning and relentless pressure.
Despite the loss, valyn and JAWGEMO delivered big numbers for G2 — 43 and 40 kills respectively — but it wasn’t enough to tip the balance in their favor.
