Their defensive setups consistently shut down G2\u2019s attempts to take early map control. w0nderful and makazze delivered several important opening duels, while b1t provided stability in mid-round situations. G2 struggled to find consistent entries and often ran into strong crossfires on the bombsites.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a few individual moments from m0NESY and huNter-, NAVI maintained control throughout the map and closed Dust2 with a comfortable 13\u20137 victory.<\/p>\n<h3>Mirage \u2014 G2 answer back (13\u20135)<\/h3>\n<p>G2 quickly reset the momentum on Mirage, where their aggressive mid control and faster pacing completely disrupted NAVI\u2019s structure. MATYS and HeavyGod became the driving force of the map, consistently winning opening duels and forcing NAVI into difficult retake situations. G2 built an early lead and never allowed NAVI to regain control of the map.<\/p>\n<p>The European squad dominated the second half and comfortably secured Mirage 13\u20135, tying the series and forcing a decider.<\/p>\n<h3>Ancient \u2014 G2 close the series (13\u20137)<\/h3>\n<p>The deciding map Ancient began relatively even, with both teams trading rounds in the early stages. However, as the game progressed G2 gradually took control of the pace. MATYS continued his impressive performance, finding key openings and multi-kill rounds that repeatedly broke NAVI\u2019s defensive structure. G2\u2019s coordinated executes and confident mid-round calls allowed them to string together crucial rounds.<\/p>\n<p>NAVI attempted a late comeback, but G2 remained composed and closed the map 13\u20137, completing the reverse sweep and securing the series 2\u20131.<\/p>\n<h3>Match statistics<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-365751\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot_335.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.stage.jamson-sc.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot_335.webp 580w, https:\/\/community.stage.jamson-sc.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Screenshot_335-300x177.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Player of the Match \u2014 Mat\u00fa\u0161 \u201cMATYS\u201d \u0160imko<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-361324\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Donut_PGL-26.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.stage.jamson-sc.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Donut_PGL-26.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/community.stage.jamson-sc.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Donut_PGL-26-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/community.stage.jamson-sc.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Donut_PGL-26-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/community.stage.jamson-sc.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Donut_PGL-26-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/community.stage.jamson-sc.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Donut_PGL-26-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The G2 rifler delivered a standout performance across the entire series and finished as the highest-rated player of the match.<\/p>\n<p>Across three maps he posted:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">53\u201339 K-D<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">+3.59% swing<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">91.4 ADR<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">70.7% KAST<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">1.37 rating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>His aggressive openings and consistent multi-frag rounds played a decisive role in G2\u2019s comeback.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VRS impact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The match also affected the Valve Regional Standings (VRS).<\/p>\n<ul class=\"article-list-pink\">\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">After the victory, G2 gained +23 VRS points, strengthening their position in the global ranking race.<\/li>\n<li class=\"article-list-pink__item\">For NAVI, the defeat resulted in a \u201320 VRS point change, slightly weakening their standing and increasing the pressure for the remaining Swiss matches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Team reactions<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-346289\" src=\"https:\/\/community.skin.club\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260131_Adela-Sznajder_IEM-Krakow_08689.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/community.stage.jamson-sc.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260131_Adela-Sznajder_IEM-Krakow_08689.webp 1920w, https:\/\/community.stage.jamson-sc.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260131_Adela-Sznajder_IEM-Krakow_08689-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/community.stage.jamson-sc.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260131_Adela-Sznajder_IEM-Krakow_08689-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/community.stage.jamson-sc.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260131_Adela-Sznajder_IEM-Krakow_08689-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/community.stage.jamson-sc.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/20260131_Adela-Sznajder_IEM-Krakow_08689-1536x1025.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Both teams reacted to the result on social media shortly after the match concluded.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/natusvincere\/status\/2030311920562037086?s=20\">NAVI<\/a> acknowledged the loss with a short message referencing the decisive map:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"custom-bq\"><div class=\"custom-bq-q\"><p>Too little, too late on Ancient (7:13).
