<\/p>\nThe group stage of BLAST Open London 2025 continues to deliver high-profile clashes. In the upper bracket quarter-final of Group B, G2 faced Liquid \u2014 two teams with a long history of head-to-head battles, but this time their current form was worlds apart. The European side dismantled their North American opponents with ease, claiming a 2:0 victory (13:8 Train, 13:3 Inferno).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Train \u2014 Liquid\u2019s questionable choice (8:13)<\/strong><\/p>\n Liquid deliberately picked Train, hoping to rely on their prepared playbook. The opening half was relatively close, ending 5:7 in favor of G2. However, after the side switch, it became clear the Europeans had a much better feel for the map. huNter- and malbsMd combined to tear apart Liquid\u2019s defense, denying them any consistency. In the end, Liquid couldn\u2019t mount a comeback and fell 8:13.<\/p>\n Inferno \u2014 a complete demolition (3:13)<\/strong><\/p>\n The second map, G2\u2019s pick, turned into a one-sided stomp. Liquid looked lost from the first rounds: their offense lacked a clear plan, while their defense collapsed under pressure. G2 closed the half at 9:3 and finished the job flawlessly on the CT side, not dropping a single round. Inferno ended 13:3, underlining G2\u2019s absolute superiority.<\/p>\n This series was a perfect showcase of how dangerous the current G2 roster can be. The team looked cohesive, aggressive, and fully focused.<\/p>\n G2 looked like a unit where every player knew their role. Coordination was on point, rotations were swift, and their ability to read Liquid\u2019s game plan shut down any chance of resistance.<\/p>\n For Liquid, this match was a disaster. Even on their own pick, the team didn\u2019t look ready to withstand G2\u2019s pressure.<\/p>\n Liquid failed to present a structured offense and often lost rounds even with man advantage. Their defense also looked extremely fragile against G2\u2019s aggressive pushes.<\/p>\n The undisputed hero of the series was Mario \u201cmalbsMd\u201d Samayoa. He not only delivered stellar numbers but also displayed crucial consistency in key moments.<\/p>\n Best player Stats:<\/strong><\/p>\n His aggressive style, combined with smart decision-making, became the deciding factor that allowed G2 to dominate throughout the series.<\/p>\n G2 didn\u2019t just win \u2014 they did it in a dominant fashion, reaffirming their status as one of the main tournament favorites. Liquid, meanwhile, will need to work hard to fix their issues, as their performance looked toothless and chaotic. In their current form, competing with playoff-caliber teams will be an uphill battle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The group stage of BLAST Open London 2025 continues to deliver high-profile clashes.
