The post G2 Esports claim IEM Dallas 2024 title appeared first on Esport Bet.

]]>
G2 Esports have made history by winning their first Counter-Strike 2 tournament, IEM Dallas 2024.

The team, initially entering the event with Jacky “Stewie2K” Yip as a stand-in for their regular in-game leader, Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen, exceeded all expectations to claim the title.

This victory marks a significant achievement for Stewie2K, who had been away from the Counter-Strike scene for over two years.

G2’s path to the IEM Dallas trophy was anything but straightforward.

They faced and defeated some of the top contenders, including FaZe Clan and Team Vitality, showcasing remarkable resilience and skill.

Under the leadership of Nikola “NiKo” Kova?, the team also overcame the dark horse of the event, 9z Team, in the playoffs.

The grand final against Vitality was a gripping three-map series that kept fans on the edge of their seats.

The action kicked off on G2’s pick, Inferno.

Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov set the tone with a 4K in the pistol round, leading G2 to a 7-5 advantage by the end of the first half.

Despite a strong start from Vitality in the second half, including a 1v1 clutch by m0NESY against Mathieu “ZywOo” Herbaut, the map went into overtime.

G2 eventually triumphed 19-16, thanks to brilliant plays from NiKo, m0NESY, and Nemanja “huNter-” Kova?.

The second map, Anubis, saw a similar back-and-forth struggle.

G2 initially gained the upper hand, but Vitality’s William “mezii” Merriman delivered a highlight ace, shifting the momentum.

Vitality secured a 16-13 victory, forcing a decider map.

Nuke, the final map, started with G2 taking an early lead, but Vitality’s defense soon turned the tide.

However, a crucial 1v1 by m0NESY against ZywOo tied the score at halftime.

In the second half, G2 maintained their composure and closed out the map 13-8, securing the championship.

m0NESY was named the tournament MVP, boasting an impressive 1.61 rating in the final.

His stellar performance was complemented by the return of Stewie2K, whose presence revitalized the team.

“I don’t care about who I play against. We just won IEM Dallas, it’s crazy,” m0NESY said, emphasizing the collective effort.

Stewie2K’s return to competitive Counter-Strike was met with widespread acclaim.

“I��m back,�� he declared after the win.

��It��s probably the best feeling ever. I feel like I��ve been through hell for this, I��m very grateful and very thankful, honestly.��

His impact, both in and out of the game, was pivotal to G2’s success.

G2 Esports’ victory at IEM Dallas 2024 is a milestone for the team and a testament to their adaptability and skill.

As they prepare for the BLAST Premier Spring Final in London, the excitement continues to build.

With HooXi set to return as the in-game leader, G2 aims to carry forward their winning momentum.

For Stewie2K, this triumph is a reminder of his capabilities and an open invitation for future opportunities in the CS2 scene.

His journey, marked by perseverance and a remarkable comeback, has left an indelible mark on the tournament and the wider esports community.

G2’s victory at IEM Dallas 2024, highlighted by thrilling matches and standout performances, will be remembered as one of the most exciting chapters in Counter-Strike history.

Team Vitality secured their place in the semi-finals of IEM Dallas 2024 with a commanding 2-0 (13-8, 13-2) victory over Heroic.

Despite a valiant effort from Damjan “?kyxsan?” Stoilkovski’s squad on Nuke, they were ultimately outclassed as Vitality pulled away decisively after half-time.

On Heroic��s map pick, they struggled to find their footing, managing only three frags in the first four rounds as Vitality, spearheaded by an inspired Dan “?apEX?” Madesclaire, took early control in the Counter-Strike series.

Despite a brief resurgence towards the end of the first half, thanks to Rasmus “?sjuush?” Beck’s impressive performance, Vitality maintained their lead.

After the side switch, Vitality extended their advantage with a dominant pistol round, and although Heroic attempted a comeback, apEX��s consistent form ensured Vitality’s victory.

Heroic��s situation worsened on Dust2.

After an initially promising second round, won by a trio of frags from sjuush, HEROIC managed only one more round in the half as Vitality��s offense proved unstoppable.

Vitality��s dominance continued in the second half, quickly wrapping up the game with a fast B retake and two additional rounds.

This win sets up an eagerly anticipated semi-final clash against Spirit, where Mathieu “?ZywOo?” Herbaut and Danil “?donk?” Kryshkovets will face off for the first time in an official match.

“We’ve never faced them, only in practice,” ZywOo commented.

“We’re going to play our game. Nothing more.”

G2 Esports also advanced to the IEM Dallas semi-finals with a decisive 2-0 (13-8, 13-2) win over FaZe Clan, maintaining their impressive run despite fielding Jacky “?Stewie2K?” Yip as a stand-in.

FaZe, typically formidable in major tournaments, faltered on the Terrorist sides of Dust2 and Nuke.

On Dust2, FaZe initially held a 7-5 lead after a chaotic CT side, but their T side performance collapsed.

Nemanja “?nexa?” Isakovi? and Ilya “?m0NESY?” Osipov capitalized on FaZe��s mistakes, leading G2 to an 8-1 run on the CT side to claim the first map.

Nikola “?NiKo?” Kova?��s triple kill in defence and m0NESY��s dominance with the AWP were crucial to G2��s success.

The trend continued on Nuke, where m0NESY delivered a pivotal clutch in round three.

FaZe struggled against NiKo in Yard and repeatedly failed to plant the bomb.

m0NESY��s flashy quad-kill towards the end of the half sealed FaZe��s fate, as they finished with just two rounds on the offensive half.

Reflecting on the defeat, Filip “?NEO?” Kubski said, “They played a really good game and we didn’t show up… This one was a disappointment, and we’ll aim for better results next trip.”

With Vitality and G2 both through to the semi-finals, the stage is set for intense matchups.

Vitality��s clash with Spirit promises to be a must-watch, especially with the first official face-off between ZywOo and donk.

Meanwhile, G2��s continued strong performance, even with a stand-in, raises anticipation for their next match as they strive to continue their winning streak.

IEM Dallas 2024 semi-finals

The post FaZe Clan & Team Spirit secure IEM Dallas playoff berths appeared first on Esport Bet.

Team Spirit showcased their prowess as they stormed into the IEM Dallas playoffs with a convincing 2-0 victory over the Major Champions, Natus Vincere.

Dominating on Ancient with a 13-4 win and following up with a 13-8 triumph on Nuke, Spirit demonstrated their meticulous preparation and tactical brilliance.

Having only competed at BetBoom Dacha in Belgrade since the PGL Major Copenhagen, where they placed second, Spirit used the event as a warm-up for their true goal: another Intel Extreme Masters title.

Their preparation, including a two-week holiday followed by a bootcamp and ten days of practice from home, clearly paid off.

Spirit’s dominance was evident from the start, as they crushed FlyQuest 13-1 in their opener before dispatching NaV in under two hours.

Danil “?donk?” Kryshkovets noted their crucial clutches on Ancient and Nuke, crediting luck for some pivotal rounds but underscoring their tactical prowess.

Leonid “?chopper?” Vishnyakov and Sergey “?hally?” Shavaev��s strategic calls were instrumental, particularly in adapting late on Nuke.

While donk and Dmitry “?sh1ro?” Sokolov had their moments, it was Boris “?magixx?” Vorobiev and Myroslav “?zont1x?” Plakhotia who shone, proving that Spirit��s depth extends beyond their star players.

For NaVi, the defeat was a setback, dropping them to the lower bracket where they will face Heroic.

Despite their Counter-Strike 2 Major win in Copenhagen, questions about their roster remain unresolved.

Justinas “?jL?” Lekavicius, the MVP of the Major, struggled against Spirit, while Mihai “?iM?” Ivan’s inconsistent performances continue to raise doubts about his future.

NaVi’s current state reflects a team with strong gameplans but lacking the firepower to consistently vie for trophies.

Their regression from Major champions to struggling contenders adds pressure on Andrey “?B1ad3?” Gorodenskiy��s squad to regain their top form.

Later on, FaZe Clan secured their playoff spot following a hard-fought 2-1 win over Virtus.pro in the Group B upper bracket semi-finals.

In true FaZe fashion, they staged a remarkable comeback, overcoming the brink of defeat on Inferno to win in overtime, followed by a tight 13-11 victory on Ancient.

Inferno saw FaZe nearly squander an 11-4 lead, but David “?frozen?” ?er��ansky��s late heroics secured the win.

Despite a momentum-breaking tech pause due to Steam maintenance, FaZe’s resilience shone through.

Ancient was a back-and-forth affair, with Virtus.pro initially gaining an 8-4 lead on the T side.

However, Finn “karrigan” Andersen��s brilliant quad-kill in round 15 and astute rotational calls late in the game clinched the win for FaZe, despite Denis “?electroNic?” Sharipov��s efforts to counter.

With their victories, FaZe and Spirit are set to clash in the seeding match for the semi-finals, promising a thrilling encounter following their intense quarter-final at PGL Major Copenhagen.

Meanwhile, Virtus.pro face BIG in the lower bracket, needing two consecutive wins to secure a playoff spot.

    G2 Esports rank among the elite few Counter-Strike esports teams, but they’ve yet to win a significant event this season. G2 reached the semifinals at PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 and Intel Extreme Masters Chengdu 2024 and recently placed top eight at ESL Pro League Season 19.

    Although a fairly disappointing result for their standards, G2 Esports still posted solid results, which is why they’re expected to do well in Dallas. Yet we might want to tame our expectations.

    In-game leader Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen won’t travel to Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center with his team and will be replaced by Jacky “Stewie2K” Yip. That’s a significant blow to G2 Esports and their chances to make it far, even though their deadly firepower remains intact.

    Team Falcons haven’t accomplished anything nearly as impressive as G2 Esports since the turn of the year, but they played a competitive three-map series against Nikola “NiKo” Kova? and company in Malta. Now facing a weaker version of G2, Team Falcons have a realistic chance to cause an upset — especially in a best-of-one setting.

    The second match of Group A at IEM Dallas 2024 is a regional derby between Complexity and Team Liquid. The North American teams last met during the PGL Major Copenhagen 2024 American RMR in March when Complexity won 2-1, and according to esports betting odds, we should be in for another close game.

    Team Liquid have shown significant improvement since March and secured a spot in the knockout stage of ESL Pro League Season 19 earlier this month. Complexity reached even deeper and nearly secured a ticket for the grand final, with a 1-2 loss to the eventual champions, MOUZ, in the semis.

    Both teams are on an upwards trajectory, and it’s hard to set them apart. Complexity have shown more and deserve to be priced as favourites with esports betting sites, but this being a clash between two regional rivals, we can expect another close affair.

    After winning PGL Major Copenhagen 2024, Natus Vincere battled to a 9th-12th finish at ESL Pro League Season 19. This isn’t too worrying, as their only loss of the tournament came against FaZe Clan, but there are arguments to be made against NaVi’s price for this match.

    Ranked as the no.25 Counter-Strike esports team in the world, BIG are hardly serious contenders to win Intel Extreme Masters Dallas 2024. They didn’t accomplish much at ESL Pro League Season 19, and they didn’t impress at BLAST Premier Spring Showdown 2024 in March either.

    Over the last three months, we have not seen BIG defeat a single elite CS team, and even when faced with weaker opponents, they’ve occasionally underdelivered. So even though Natus Vincere are notorious for slow starts to tournaments, they should do enough to beat BIG with a few rounds to spare.

    Watch Live: Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/ESLCS)

    Virtus.pro enter IEM Dallas 2024 following a solid performance at ESL Pro League Season 19, where they placed top eight. Even though VP are still far from where they want to be, they’ve started showing better performances since the signing of Denis “electroNic” Sharipov.

    After their trip to Malta, Virtus.pro crashed out of BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 in fifth-sixth place, suggesting they’ll need a bit more time to gain serious traction.

    HEROIC, like Virtus.pro, have a lot to prove. They exited ESL Pro League Season 19 in 21st-28th place and then ran third-fourth at BetBoom Dacha Belgrade 2024 with just two victories against MiBR.

    Virtus.pro placed much higher than HEROIC at ESL Pro League Season 19, but that’s the only reason why anyone would consider them as favourites for this match. The two sides are evenly matched, and since it’s a best-of-one game, HEROIC to win at outsider odds is a much more appealing bet.

    The post ENCE destroy MOUZ in IEM Dallas 2023 grand final appeared first on Esport Bet.

    ENCE returned to Dallas, Texas, seeking revenge for their runner-up finish at IEM Dallas 2022, and they completed their mission by destroying MOUZ 2-0 in the IEM Summer 2023 grand final on Sunday.

    After claiming top spot in Group B, the world no.11 advanced straight into the semifinals, awaiting the winner of the titanic clash between G2 Esports and FaZe Clan.

    FaZe got the win and set up a rematch of their Group A upper-bracket semifinal with ENCE from earlier on in the tournament.

    MOUZ, meanwhile, had to qualify through the lower bracket of Group A and take on Astralis in the quarterfinals before setting up a semifinal matchup with Heroic.

    With Heroic (2) and FaZe (3) both ranked among the top three teams in the world, ENCE and MOUZ went into their respective semifinals as clear underdogs with most esports betting sites.

    However, MOUZ took the opening map against Heroic, before the favourites claimed the second to send the series to a third map, where it took all 30 rounds to find the winner.

    Christopher ��dexter�� Nong and his team took the final map 16-14 to send Heroic packing and take MOUZ to their first CS:GO tier-one grand final of the year.

    As for ENCE, their clash with FaZe Clan turned into the best series we saw at IEM Dallas, with both teams trading blows and map wins before going to overtime on the third and final map.

    Both sides had chances to win the series in overtime, but it was Marco ��Snappi�� Pfeiffer and his team who claimed the series with a 31-28 map win on Ancient.

    Those results set up a tantalising decider between two teams that few observers would have expected to contend for the title.

    Unfortunately for neutral Counter-Strike fans, ENCE dominated both maps in the final to claim an easy 2-0 victory, with their rising star Alvaro ��SunPayus�� Garcia taking out the Most Valuable Player award.

    The AWPer finished the grand final with server highs in kill/death difference (+16), ADR (97.7) and rating (1.45) as ENCE clinched their first tier-one CS:GO title since 2019.

    IEM Summer 2023 (IEM Dallas) will kick off on Monday, May 29, with 16 of the top CS:GO teams congregating in Texas for a week-long tournament.

    Not only will the winner of IEM Dallas take home the US$100,000 winners�� cheque, but they will also automatically qualify for IEM Cologne 2023 in July.

    Five teams ranked inside the top 10 in the world will be present in Dallas, while Cloud9 will return as the defending champions after they defeated ENCE in the grand final last year.

    Below you will find our best bet to take out IEM Dallas 2023.

    Best Bet – FaZe Clan

    With 11 of the 16 teams at IEM Dallas coming through the BLAST.tv Paris Major, it makes it easier to compare the form. From that, we trust FaZe Clan the most. Finn ��karrigan�� Andersen and his squad showed in their fifth-eighth finish that they had returned to the form that won them the Intel Extreme Master Grand Slam and ESL Pro League Season 17.

    Having two of the world��s best riflers in Robin ��ropz�� Kool and Russel ��Twistzz�� Van Dulken at their disposal makes FaZe one of the most dangerous teams to face at the back end of any international tournament. Add in Helvijs ��broky�� Saukants, who outplayed Olexsandr ��s1mple�� Kostyliev in FaZe’s final best-of-three series of the Legends Stage at the Major, and you have one of the best cores of any organisation in the world.

    FaZe will begin IEM Dallas 2023 as the equal-second favourite with G2 Esports — only behind Heroic, the outright market elect with most esports betting sites. Of the top three teams, FaZe have shown that they have the ability to win the tough games and win events, while both G2 and Heroic have developed a reputation for crumbling in big matches.

    To make the playoffs, FaZe will most likely have to beat Team Liquid or Cloud9 — two outfits they have had the wood over in the last 12 months. If the world no.3 team turn up in their best condition and perform at a similar level to what they did in Paris, we expect them to be crowned IEM Dallas 2023 champions.
