G2 facing elimination in EPL after 1win loss

It's a third consecutive loss for G2 , following the 0-3 sweep by Legacy in the FISSURE Playground 3 final and the 0-2 hammering by Natus Vincere on Friday.

They slip one place to eighth in the global VRS, while 1win climb to 33rd in the world after a five-place jump.

"They're definitely a good team, but from what I see, they still have a lot of struggles with their map pool," 1win captain Vladislav "⁠nafany⁠" Gorshkov said of G2 after the match.

"They have a good Ancient, but if we talk, let's say about Dust2, it's their great weakness.

For now, we were better, I believe." It was a vintage Sergey "⁠Ax1Le⁠" Rykhtorov performance on Dust2, as he posted a 1.72 rating to power 1win to a close 13-11 victory, inflicting G2 's sixth defeat on the map in their last seven games.

In his post-match interview, an emotional nafany gave a special shout-out to an HLTV user, Rancheros .
