The highly anticipated matchup between MIBR and G2 Esports took center stage on Saturday, with the two teams vying for the last spot in the VCT Americas grand final. The best-of-five series was intense, with G2 Esports emerging victorious in the end.
MIBR had been knocked down to the lower bracket after losing to Sentinels, while G2 Esports suffered a similar fate, also at the hands of Sentinels, but in the previous round. This was their first encounter in the playoffs.
The Ups and Downs of the Match
The series began on a high note for MIBR, with the team winning the first map, Haven, 13-10. However, their momentum was short-lived, as G2 Esports fought back to level the series with a thrilling 15-13 win in overtime on the Lotus map. G2 Esports continued their winning streak, taking the next two maps, Split (13-10) and Ascent (13-8), to secure their spot in the grand final.
The loss was a bitter pill for MIBR to swallow, as evident from their tweet after the match, expressing gratitude to their fans despite the disappointing outcome.
VCT AMERICAS – SPLIT 1: 🥉
Final triste para um Split que foi muito positivo para nós. Mesmo com a adaptação da comunicação para o inglês, conseguimos fazer um 4–1 na Fase de Grupos e, depois, com duas séries perfeitas, conquistamos a vaga no Masters.
Obrigado pela torcida! 💙 pic.twitter.com/Fn7WLqomU8
