G2 proves no one beats them 10 times in a row as they lift the BLAST Fall Finals trophy

The newest G2 recruit, Mario “malbsMd” Samayoa, was heavily criticized for being one of the lowest rated players during the fall finals group stage. However, despite his lack of experience, he made a big leap in the playoffs and was the driving force behind G2 winning the entire event.

This win at BLAST would be his first LAN tournament triumph, and he also became the first Guatemalan to win a top-level Counter-Strike event. In an interview after the match, he motivated people in his home country by saying: “Gaming is possible. If I can do it, anyone can.”

Snax is a household name Counterattackone of the best players in the history of the game, but that was ten years ago when he donned the Virtus.Pro jersey. This BLAST trophy marks the Polish in-game leader’s first tournament win in six years, with his latest being ESL One: New York 2018 with mousesports. Today also marked the five-year anniversary of huNter signing with G2, making for a memorable anniversary.

Throughout the Grand Finals, it seemed like G2 was riding waves of momentum, and the man who started it all was NiKo. The Bosnian put in an inspiring performance in the semi-final against Vitality, and the entire team hit the desks to release their emotions during the series against NAVI.

NiKo was the second highest rated player on the final day, with m0NESY claiming the tournament’s MVP award. The 19-year-old had a great start to the season and was in contention for number one player of the year, but his form has deteriorated in recent months. The prodigy achieved an average rating of 1.33 throughout the event, turning things around once again.
