G2 loses Berlin duel against BIG
A month before the World Cup in Berlin, the tournament was a dress rehearsal. While the professionals of the Dutch e-sports organization were able to cheer, the three other qualified EU teams were mixed. Acend made it to the final, but Gambit Esports and Fnatic were eliminated in the quarterfinals against the later finalists.
The tournament went even worse for G2 Esports. The team based in Berlin finished in last place in its preliminary group. The team not only lost to Liquid, but also surprisingly to the BIG e-sports team, which is also based in the capital.
