RESULTS: G2 Esports Defeats Splyce to Set Up another Grand Final Appearance

With everything riding on the line for G2 Esports, this match was potentially the last thing standing between them and another Grand Final appearance. While Splyce put up a very impressive fight, ultimately G2 prevailed where it counted, securing the series victory 3-1. Here’s a brief breakdown of the match.

Both teams again start slow, with the first action coming from when Splyce move to secure the first Dragon of the game. G2 attempt to answer in the top lane, but are rebuffed in the trade as both teams pull back. Splyce pick up the first turret of the game in the top lane, with G2 answering quickly in the bot lane. With the top side pressure stacking in their favour, Splyce secure the Rift Herald to gain a bit more pushing power. G2 answer in the bot lane, catching out Splyce’s bot lane pair in the river to secure first blood.

A team fight breaks out in the mid lane, with Splyce catching G2 by surprise to pick up a kill for themselves. G2’s quick response allows them to claim multiple kills in reply, though Splyce do pick up another in the aftermath before taking down their second Dragon of the match. Using the earlier secured Rift Herald, Splyce do significant damage to the bot lane outer turret, though G2 manage to push them back before it could go down.

With Baron spawning on the map, both teams jockey for vision control which leads to a team fight in the top lane with multiple casualties on both sides. G2 does gain an advantage out of the melee, but both teams are forced to withdraw in the aftermath.

The teams continue to clash across the map, with both teams claiming multiple kills and objectives before G2 claim the Baron buff and push towards the base of Splyce. After taking down the mid lane inhibitor, G2 force an engage but end up trading 1-1 and are forced to withdraw in light of a possible losing fight. After G2 secure the Elder Dragon, they force another team fight that results in several quick kills as they push towards the base of Splyce. The surviving members attempt to hold G2 back, but are very quickly overwhelmed as G2 storm through and end the game.
