G2 continue to be in the spotlight after the summer break, making the playoffs at almost every tournament, but still without a trophy. However, success at the BLAST Fall Final could change that. Now they will face a possible opponent in the form of Natus Vincere or FaZe, which could be a serious test in the deciding match.
The backstory behind G2's success
This match was an important indicator of the team's current form. G2 had not faced Vitality in the current season and their clash was an important test ahead of the final. “The only team we lost to was NAVI and then maybe MOUZ, so it was very important to see where we stand, and I'm glad we were able to come out on top today,” NiKo shared after the win.
The key moment was the episode in which NiKo almost won the 1v5 clutch. He killed four, but lost apEX, which was the reason for his disappointment: “When I killed four, I knew I had to win it, and that's why I was upset, because the round was there. It was in my hands”.
A possible final with NAVI
G2 are now preparing for the grand finals, where Natus Vincere could be waiting for them. This confrontation has already become a landmark for both teams, and for G2 it's a chance to finally get a win over their main rivals. NiKo said that he would prefer to face NAVI: “Honestly, it's probably better if we face NAVI and beat them”. This adds a special intrigue to the final, as beating the best team in the world will be a moment of triumph for G2.
Emotions and important moments of the game
NiKo did not hide his emotions as the match progressed. After failing in the 1v5 clutch, he had to vent his frustration, “I don't even know if I could have gotten back in the game if I hadn't crashed the table, it was important for me to vent my frustration.” However, that didn't stop him from later winning another 1v3 clutch on match point, a key moment in the team's victory. “I'm happy that I was able to win another clutch, and I think this clutch was very important for the team as well,” NiKo said after the game.

What's in store for G2 in the finals?
The BLAST Fall Final Grand Final will be a crucial test for G2. Can the team finally win the long awaited title and defeat their arch rivals? NiKo is optimistic: “NAVI is the best team in the world right now, and it will be better if we beat them”. Winning this tournament will be not only a significant success for G2, but also an important step towards their recognition as one of the strongest teams on the world CS scene.
