After pulling off the biggest upset of the tournament, Imperial will look to ride on the momentum and win the Imperial vs G2 BLAST Premier
Imperial caused a major upset by defeating Vitality in their first match, earning them a spot in the upper bracket final against G2. Despite the transfer talks surrounding their captain Gabriel “FalleN” Toledo, the Brazilian team remained focused and secured a decisive 2-0 victory against the formidable French team. G2 also delivered an impressive performance by sweeping aside another strong opponent, Cloud9. FalleN and company remain the CSGO betting underdogs, but G2 won't make the mistake of underestimating them.
