CS2: G2 survive against HEROIC to make Shanghai Major semis

As a seasoned gamer who’s witnessed countless matches, I can say with conviction that the G2 vs HEROIC series was nothing short of electrifying! The pendulum swung back and forth like a battle-hardened saber, each team demonstrating grit and skill in equal measure.

G2 Esports have fought back against HEROIC to advance and continue their “last dance” in Shanghai.

G2 is through to the semifinal!

The three-game series started off with HEROIC choosing their map. Although the first half ended in a fairly even 5-7 score, G2’s offense stumbled against HEROIC’s strong CT-side. Abdul “degster” Gasanov was instrumental for HEROIC, scoring 18 points, taking advantage of G2’s difficulties, to guide his team towards a 13-6 win.

Despite trailing 5-7 at halftime, G2 refused to be daunted, turning the tables with an impressive CT-side effort and eventually winning the map convincingly with a score of 13-9.
