Pimp said on broadcast that this might be “the most stacked Major playoffs ever”
It was Ilya ‘m0NESY’ Osipov’s AWP play that managed to get Falcons over the line, at the closing stages of the decider on Dust2.
G2 won Falcons’ pick of Ancient, while Falcons ran away with G2’s Inferno.
Falcons took a 10-5 lead on Dust2, but let G2 get close on their T-side. Falcons looked about to be pulled apart, but m0NESY’s AWP held it together in the end to pick apart G2’s offense.
Nemanja ‘huNter-‘ Kovac’s words after the loss addressed what it was like playing against his cousin.
“I mean, he’s my brother,” huNter- said. “Being in the server [against him] was very difficult, with all the time we’ve played together.”
