G2 managed to defeat one of their biggest rivals, Vitality, and come close to their third major trophy of the year.
The first semi-final of the BLAST brought another tense duel between G2 and Vitality, where it was uncertain until the last half of the decisive third map Mirage where G2 finally managed to completely break the resistance of the rivals.
Once again, G2 and Vitality played a match that had huge stakes, as is always the case in the battle of two of the three best teams in the world, and this time Vitality must be especially praised when taking into account the fact that they played in the tournament in an incomplete composition. They failed to repeat the success that G2 achieved when these two rivals met earlier this year in Dallas, when it was G2 who played with a forced shift.
As for the match itself, it was expectedly marked by Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov and Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut, the biggest stars in CS2 esports right now, and this time it was m0NESY who was much better, finishing the match with 63 frags, 100.7 ADR- and 1.55 rating.">G2 managed to defeat one of their biggest rivals, Vitality, and come close to their third major trophy of the year.
