G2 Esports Dominates NAVI in VALORANT Series Victory
In a highly anticipated VALORANT series, G2 Esports displayed their dominance against NAVI, securing a decisive 2-0 victory and advancing in the lower bracket of the EMEA VCT Last Chance Qualifier.
On their chosen map, Bind, G2 showcased their confidence on the attack by utilizing the combination of Viper and Astra’s controlling utilities to restrict NAVI’s defensive angles on both sites. G2 achieved a 7-5 lead going into the second half and started off strong with a successful retake in the pistol round. Despite facing technical pauses that interrupted their momentum, G2’s defense strengthened during the second half, particularly with mixwell’s impressive performance on Chamber and AvovA’s magnificent B site hold.
Although AvovA’s impressive performance on Bind couldn’t be overlooked, their brilliance continued on Ascent. The Danish controller achieved three separate clutches early in G2’s defense, starting with an impressive nine kills and zero deaths during their 6-0 start. NAVI struggled on the attack, frequently stumbling in executes and post-plants, which allowed G2 to capitalize on their mistakes. G2 finished the first half with a commanding 11-1 lead, losing the final round due to overconfidence. Despite NAVI’s attempts to regain control during the second half, G2 secured victory with a 12-1 advantage by winning the pistol round, and their saved Sova ultimate proved to be instrumental in securing the first full buy.
This dominant win for G2 comes at a crucial moment as they face elimination in the lower bracket of the EMEA LCQ. Throughout the year, G2 has struggled with consistency, but their exceptional performance today gives hope to fans who wish to see the team reach the Champions stage. They still have three more series to win in order to achieve that goal, with their next match scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 13 against the winner of OG LDN UTD vs. Guild.
