The outstanding tips of G2 have paved the way into the top 4.


G2 defeated Virtus.pro in the quarterfinals of PGL Bucharest with a score of 2-0 (Dust2 13-11, Mirage 13-9), continuing their first journey of hunting in 2025.

G2 will confront complexity - the team has created a shock when defeating Aurora on Friday - in the semi -final, expected to take place at 00:00 on Saturday.


Virtus.pro chose its cabinet map Dust2 in the series, but it was the G2 that was the team that took the lead 8-4 thanks to a smooth operation. The exact P250 shot of Kaisar "⁠ICY⁠" Faiznurov has helped VP win in Round Pistol, thereby equalizing the score of 10 evenly.

Nikita "⁠heavygod⁠" Martynenko finally had the opportunity to show the role of Anchor in the Long area, repel two attacks to bring two map point to G2, and they have transformed into a 13-11 victory.

Mirage continued to witness the outstanding attack from G2, taking advantage of Mario's Double Kill phase "⁠malbsmd⁠" Samayoa in the second Round to lead 8-2.

That distance is more than enough to ensure an easy victory, when G2 goes straight to the Top 4 with a 13-9 victory on their map picking.

Heavygod is finding a foothold at G2

The loss of Nikola "⁠niko⁠" Kovač during the end of the season was taken away a large part of G2's fire, and their early performance seemed to show that both Malbsmd and Heavygod could not completely replace the Bosnian star.

However, in Bucharest, Heavygod showed great performance. He achieved a rating of 1.24 in the playoff match against Virtus.pro and an average of 1.22 in the entire tournament until now, helping him to rank the fourth in the list of players with the highest rating at PGL Bucharest.

With rumors that Bucharest may be the last tournament of the current G2 squad, the fire from the Israeli player may be a vital factor.

Fl4mus's wings have been restrained?

Timur "⁠fl4mus⁠" MareV had a breakthrough Major in Shanghai with Gamerlegion, where he was famous for his uncontrolled aggressive gameplay.

However, the transfer to Virtus.pro seems to have negatively affected the Russian shot. VP's competition system does not seem to create enough space for his adventurous handling phase, which is clearly shown through personal performance in 2025.

He only reached an average rating of 0.98 throughout the year and had just had his lowest rating in the year at Bucharest (0.87).
