The most significant result of the day came in the final match, where G2 faced off against Spirit in the Playoffs. There has been much speculation about this new G2 roster – can malbsMd adapt to new roles? Can Snax show his former glory once again? Against Team Spirit, the answer to these questions was a resounding yes.
The series went to all three maps, but in the end, G2 looked dominant on the Ancient decider. Credit to G2 – Spirit did not lose the match, G2 won it by being the better team on that day, with everyone contributing. We even witnessed a classic Snax pistol 1v3 clutch. Ultimately, m0NESY stood out as the star performer, constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s achievable in CS2. With a spot in the top four secured, can G2 now go on to win the entire event?

Meanwhile, in the Last Chance bracket, FURIA fought their way through tough opponents like FlyQuest, Sashi, and The MongolZ in three intense best-of-one matches.
As usual, FURIA’s KSCERATO played a crucial role in securing their spot in the Playoffs. With MOUZ as their next opponent, he will need his team to step up if they aim to progress further in the Esports World Cup 2024 CS2 tournament.
