G2’s Shock Victory Sets Up BLAST London Showdown!

Look Sports Media – G2 Esports have stormed into the BLAST London Grand Final after a commanding 2-0 victory over FURIA, setting up a thrilling clash against Team Vitality. Their dominant performance, marked by decisive wins on Inferno (13-5) and Mirage (13-5), silenced the roaring FURIA crowd and solidified their place as a serious contender for the BLAST Open Fall trophy.

Despite FURIA’s impressive eight-game win streak on Mirage entering the tournament, G2’s relentless pressure proved insurmountable. "I think we are really happy we show that we can play against the best teams in the world, no matter what paper shows," G2’s Matys Imko told looksports.media, highlighting the team’s improved on-stage performance: "We can play much stronger under pressure now compared to online."

While G2’s victory was undeniably impressive, they face a monumental challenge in the Grand Final against tournament favorites, Team Vitality. Vitality, boasting an early 2025 win streak, enters the final with renewed confidence following their semifinal victory over MOUZ. The addition of the home-turf advantage for UK teammate William "mezii" Merriman has seemingly reignited the team’s competitive fire. "If we make these improvements," Vitality legend Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut told looksports.media, "Team Vitality can be back in the game really easily."

However, G2 remain unfazed. Nemanja "huNter-" Kovač, in an earlier interview with looksports.media, expressed unwavering confidence in his team’s firepower and game plan: "I think we have really strong firepower, and I believe in each and every one in the team. We’re trying to focus on ourselves, no matter what, and play our game." Matys echoed this sentiment, adding, "We will try to be confident and also humble at the same time because we respect our opponents."

The BLAST Open Fall London Grand Final promises an electrifying showdown. Will G2 continue their Cinderella run and upset the odds against Vitality? Or will Vitality reclaim their dominance and lift the trophy on home soil? Tune in to looksports.media for continued coverage of the BLAST Open Fall London 2025, running from September 5th to 7th.
