G2 Esports has qualified for the Rumble Stage at the International League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational tournament. The LEC champion has finished the group stage undefeated and continues his winning streak.

"I'm really looking forward to the Rumble Stage, because that's where we'll meet the super strong teams," Marcin "Jankos" Jankowski of G2 said in an interview after the matchday. "It will be a reality check how we will perform against the top teams. But I am very confident that we will perform well.»

Already in the first game of the group matchday, G2 had the chance to secure the top of the table and thus the place in the Rumble Stage. However, the North American champion Evil Geniuses did not make it easy for G2 and held out against it for a long time.

However, G2 did not miss the victory - the team eliminated all opponents from the field after a perfect team fight and qualified for the Rumble Stage as the first team with the victory.

In the next match, it was all or nothing for the Australian team Order against EG. But the North American champion showed no mercy and not only threw Order out of the tournament, but also secured a place in the next tournament round. As a result, the group rankings were already decided after the second game of the day.

G2 continued to impress throughout the matchday, maintaining a streak of 20 wins in a row. In the Rumble Stage, all remaining teams will then compete against each other - in addition to EG, G2's opponents will only be determined in the other groups.
