The Major trophy demands you stand up when it matters, and stand up jL did.

The floppy-haired, baby-faced, slightly doe-eyed gangster took map three by the balls and twisted ‘til G2 relented.

G2 were in charge from the start on Ancient, but it was the Lithuanian who quickly turned the tide with a Deagle round much akin to those of NiKo’s yesteryears - who was notably absent in the whole series.

His whiffed spray from Long B ended up mattering big time, and he and HooXi took a risk to double-peel down Ramp in round 24 that immediately backfired - but it wasn’t just him.

huNter- did very little to write home about, and nexa noticeably struggled in map three - but m0NESY couldn’t really have done much more. He went 18-5 in opening duels and went 65-42 in the series.

m0NESY even 360 onetapped Aleksib in the first round of map three of a Major semi-final. He’s absolutely ridiculous. The fact that he didn’t win this series is an indictment of quite how far off the pace the Kovac pair were yesterday.

The only person who came close was the aforementioned jL - who was absolutely destroying the NAVI T side, especially on map three, but truthfully was excellent the whole series.

No, not the whole series. The whole tournament. He’s been great.

NAVI are in the grand final. iM is in his second in a row. Still doubting him?
