G2 Esports kicked off their BLAST Premier Spring Groups<\/a> campaign with a decisive 2-0 victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas, securing wins on Vertigo (13-7) and Anubis (13-2).<\/p>\n

Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, the fourth-best Counter-Strike<\/a> player of 2023 showcased exceptional form with a 1.88 rating.<\/p>\n

However, NiP’s lackluster performance, aside from flashes of brilliance from Fredrik “REZ” Sterner, made it an easier contest for G2.<\/p>\n

G2 advances to the upper final against Natus Vincere, while Ninjas in Pyjamas faces a lower final battle to stay alive in the tournament.<\/p>\n

In the Vertigo match, NiP initially led 3-0 on the T side, but G2 took control with six consecutive rounds.<\/p>\n

Despite NiP’s efforts, G2 secured a 7-5 halftime lead.<\/p>\n

G2 dominated the second half, particularly with m0NESY’s outstanding plays, closing the map 13-7.<\/p>\n

The Anubis map was completely one-sided, with G2 overpowering NiP.<\/p>\n

NiP struggled on their T side, facing challenges from deep flanks by Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen.<\/p>\n

G2 secured a convincing 13-2 victory, sealing the series 2-0.<\/p>\n
