BLAST Premier World Final
The most ridiculous team in the world also happens to be quite good.
Team ‘Chaotic Good’ rocked up to Singapore with three missions: winning the tournament, getting Snax a positive map for once, and not losing 13-0. They got two out of three – not bad.
G2 started the tournament by losing 0-13, and were then basically untouchable as they mashed everyone to tiny little fragments and absolutely rag-dolled Team Spirit in as one-sided a BO5 as you will ever see.
If Katowice was donk’s magnum opus, this tournament might’ve just been m0NESY’s - though one imagines he could have a few more like this. Kid Lightning was absolutely incredible throughout, and was undoubtedly the best player at the event.
He won the MVP, and that still feels like an understatement.
G2 at the height of their powers are essentially unbeatable, and we mean that. There’s not a team throughout history that can live with NiKo, m0NESY, huNter- and malbsMd firing on all cylinders. There’s an argument that this team has the best rifler and AWPer of all time.
This was the height of their powers. Spirit – with donk and sh1ro – got three T rounds. In a best of five. In the grand final!
You can talk about Spirit’s issues, but that just seems like a shame when G2 are this fun to watch, and this good, and this dense in terms of firepower.
The funniest thing is, we all know G2 are going to screw up in some hilarious way in either the RMR or the Major group stages. Absolutely nailed on.
For now, though, they are not only the most fun team to watch in the world but also the best. A big +1 for chaos from us.
