DENDELE knocks G2 out early at PGL Masters Bucharest

DENDELE faced G2 at the PGL Masters Bucharest tournament and won the series 2-1, eliminating the international team. According to HLTV predictions, the Brazilian side's chances of qualifying for a Major rose to 96.9 percent with this result.

G2 lost all three of its matches at the tournament, against Natus Vincere, Aurora and DENDELE. The team had won only one series in its last two events. That series was a victory over ShindeN in ESL Pro League S24.

G2 started the first map well and took an early lead by winning a forcebuy in the second round. However, its game plan then fell apart. Artem "r1nkle" Moroz was G2's best player with a 1.30 map rating, but the team's performance on the T side was very weak.

On Ancient, DENDELE moved ahead 12-6 and G2 was on the verge of losing the series. However, G2 took advantage of DENDELE's closing problems, forced overtime and won the map 16-14, sending the series to a third map. On Inferno, the decisive map, DENDELE gave his opponent no chance and won 13-5, continuing his run in Bucharest.
