M0nesy debuts in the Major styling on Liquid
2022-05-09 12:15:00G2 Esports started their run in PGL Major Antwerp 2022 with an overwhelming defeat of Team Liquid. The bo1 happened on Inferno with a final score of 16:6.
G2’s 17-year-old star Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov showed no sign of anxiety during his major debut. The Russian prodigy finished Inferno with a 20-10 KD, almost like his Bosnian teammates (NiKo 20-10, huNter- 21-10). His four kills on the defense became one of the highlights of the match.
Liquid couldn't find a weakness in G2's defense up until late in the first half, which ended with a score of 13:2. Liquid started to come back on CT, but the gap was too big to catch up. NiKo and huNter- brute-forced their way through American defense in two final rounds to seal the deal.
G2 went to a 1-0 group to wait for their next opponent. Vitality and Bad News Eagles also earned their spots in the winners' group.
PGL Major Antwerp 2022 is running in Belgium from 9-22 May. 24 teams are fighting for a million dollars prize pool.
