malbsMd help G2 make ESL Pro League Season 22 Stage 2
G2 and former M80 superstar Mario "malbsMd" Samayoa are through ESL Pro League Season 22 Stage 2 after defeating ENCE in the 2-2 pool of Stage 1 this Thursday, October 2nd.
While many thought that G2 would easily make the next Stage, the team actually struggled against lower-ranked teams. They beat Rooster on the opening days, but found themselves on the brink of elimination following losses to Gentle Mates and B8.
But G2 picked things up and convincingly beat Fluxo and ENCE to advance to Stage 2. In this last best-of-three, G2 secured an important victory on ENCE's map pick thanks to a powerful CT-side (9-3) in the first half. malbsMd came through for them in the entire map, having finished with 21 kills and 92.8 ADR.
And, on Train, they were dominant on both sides of the map and successfully avoided what could be a stressful decider.
