G2 are 2-0 in an easy group they’re expected to win.

Those who don’t know: :) Those who know: -.-

Admittedly, they got there by choking a 9-3 lead against 9 Pandas and winning in overtime, which is largely how one might expect G2 would win a BO1 against an underdog. Snax was top of the scoreboard, and NiKo was bottom. As you’d expect.

They’re playing 3DMAX for a spot in the next round, because they beat Eternal Fire in a very fun BO1. 3DMAX consistently looked like the better team, but EF pulled rounds out of their collective behinds, including a 3v5 at 13-15 down to keep the game going.

3DMAX, though, looked good. Worryingly for G2.

BIG beat Sashi and HEROIC, which are reasonable results. I mean, Sashi is a freebie. Nobody would lose to Sashi.

Those who know: D:

There are three Danish-majority teams in this group, and they have one win between them. It was Sashi, against Astralis. Yes, you are allowed to laugh. No, you don’t have to stop.

Astralis and TSM are 0-2, obviously. TSM at least lost to 3DMAX who look good, and VP who are… well, better than TSM. Astralis lost to 9 Pandas and Sashi.

It’s not looking good for them.

PARIVISION and B8 are also 0-2, with B8 coming up against Astralis and PARIVISION obviously playing against TSM. Those are not games we would want to play if we were Danish and needed a win.

PARIVISION did lose to NIP, though, so there’s a chance. NIP now play HEROIC, Spirit take on Aurora, 9 Pandas and Virtus.pro and Eternal Fire vs Sashi for the 1-1 games today.

We’re at boiling point. G2 are definitely losing to 3DMAX today. We’re certain. Lucky will drop 60.

We’re not certain. Nothing is certain in this group.
