Despite a somewhat lacklustre performance in the playoffs, falling in a 5 game series to rookie squad MAD Lions, moving them into the loser’s bracket, G2 proved that nobody could get the better of them twice; with a 3-1 retribution against MAD bringing them to the finals matchup that had been anticipated since the very start of the split.<\/p>\n
G2 Esports vs MAD Lions<\/h2>\n
With the 3-2 victory for MAD still fresh on everyone’s minds, nobody quite knew what to predict for this series. The normal sentiment would have been to predict a quick 3-0 for the infinitely more experienced G2, but nobody was quite ready to count out MAD after their performance in the first round of the playoffs.<\/p>\n
In this matchup, all eyes were on the bottom lane, with many of the criticisms levelled at G2 coming at the swap of mid laner Rasmus “Caps” Winther.<\/p>\n
His at times less-than-stellar performance in the role in the Spring Split left many fans wondering if the swap to AD Carry was the correct move; and with MAD Lions showcasing a dominant botlane performance by Matyas “Carzzy” Orsag and Norman “Kaiser” Kaiser, this matchup was looking pretty scary for G2 fans and players alike.<\/p>\n
However, these fears were unfounded, with Caps putting on his best performance of the split so far and securing himself Player of the Series, coming second in KDA score only to his support.<\/p>\n
