G2 Dominate Team Spirit 13‑1 on Ancient to Secure BLAST Open London Quarterfinal Spot

G2 Esports have surged into the quarter-finals of BLAST Open London after a commanding victory over Team Spirit in the group stage's lower‑bracket final. Despite dropping the opener on Mirage 11‑13 to Spirit, G2 bounced back with a tight 16‑13 win on Dust2, before utterly dominating Ancient with an emphatic 13‑1 scoreline.

This marks G2’s first LAN finals appearance since March, and their first under the leadership of Nemanja "huNter-" Kovač, who assumed IGL duties during the off‑season. Reflecting on the win, he noted spirited improvements in team cohesion, quipping: “We changed a lot of players in the last six months, even TaZ got a chance to play… it wasn't easy… but it feels really good because we've been working really hard lately since we got new players during the summer break.”

With the win secured, G2 now await FaZe Clan in the quarter-finals—a rematch of a rare encounter between the two in 2025—on the FURIA side of the bracket. Meanwhile, MOUZ will face M80 on the opposite side. The LAN finals are set to kick off at OVO Wembley Arena on September 5, culminating in a best‑of‑five final.
