G2 top Group B - Undefeated and dominant
G2 esports went undefeated in the group stage, not even dropping a single map through their five matches.

FaZe and Outsiders were still struggling to ensure their qualification to the playoffs. FaZe Clan managed a decent comeback on Nuke despite BIG’s early lead. The defending champions of the ESL Pro League hwill have their task cut out for them in the playoffs. But if any team is known to persevere it is FaZe Clan.
With a 1.29 rating across ten maps, G2’s NiKo was the standout performer for the team. With a 90.1 ADR, Niko led G2 esports in its undefeated group stage.
The biggest difference in the match between FaZe Clan and G2 esports was mONESY. The 17-year-old had an impressive 1.69 rating blowing all competition out of the water. He ended the two-map series with 51 kills. The next highest number of kills was by FaZe’s rain at 50.
Despite a strong showing by BIG, they fell short in the group stage. The German roster was the only team to have posed a serious challenge to G2’s dominance in Group B.
