G2 Esports Beat MIBR 3–0 in VCT 2026: Americas Kickoff Playoffs

G2 Esports delivered a dominant 3–0 sweep over MIBR in the playoffs of VCT 2026: Americas Kickoff. From the opening map to the final round, G2 controlled the pace of the series, limiting MIBR’s opportunities and closing the match without allowing the Brazilian squad to build real momentum.

Breeze — 13:6 G2 Esports

The series began on Breeze, selected by MIBR, but it was G2 who quickly established control. MIBR opened the map on attack and managed to secure several early rounds, showing initial confidence in their setups. However, G2’s defensive structure proved too disciplined. Strong anchor holds and well-timed rotations shut down mid-round adjustments from MIBR.

As the half progressed, G2 built economic stability and began stringing rounds together. After the side switch, they maintained full control of the tempo, converting advantages cleanly and denying MIBR any realistic comeback opportunity. The map closed at 13–6 in favor of G2.

Haven — 13:4 G2 Esports

On Haven, G2’s map choice, the gap between the teams became even more apparent. G2 started aggressively, winning opening duels and consistently pressuring multiple areas of the map. Their early-round coordination prevented MIBR from finding comfortable defensive setups.

MIBR struggled to adapt to G2’s pace and spacing. Key duels repeatedly went in G2’s favor, and their mid-round decision-making left little room for counterplay. With strong site executions and clean post-plant control, G2 secured a commanding 13–4 victory, moving to match point in the series.

Corrode — 13:7 G2 Esports

Facing elimination, MIBR showed more resistance on Corrode. The Brazilian side found early-round success and briefly kept the score competitive, winning several important rounds to stay within reach.

However, G2 remained composed. They consistently found opening picks and managed the economy efficiently, ensuring they rarely faced disadvantageous buy situations. Even in rounds where MIBR gained early advantages, G2’s coordinated retakes and late-round discipline turned situations around. The map ended 13–7, sealing a decisive 3–0 series win.

With this result, G2 Esports advance further in the VCT 2026: Americas Kickoff bracket, strengthening their position in the race for Championship Points and international qualification. MIBR, despite moments of promise, were unable to match G2’s structure and consistency across the series.

VCT 2026: Americas Kickoff features 12 teams competing in Los Angeles for Championship Points, early-season momentum, and qualification spots for Masters Santiago. The triple-elimination format allows teams multiple chances to recover, but upper bracket victories like this one give a significant advantage toward the later stages of the tournament.
