G2 Esports have once again proven their dominance in the esports arena by clinching the BLAST Premier World Final 2024 title. In a spectacular display of skill and strategy, G2 overwhelmed Team Spirit with a resounding 3-0 victory, securing their third major trophy of the year.
The grand final was anticipated to be a close contest, but G2 had other plans. The scores on all three maps—Mirage (13-7), Anubis (13-5), and Dust2 (13-7)—reflect a match where Team Spirit struggled to keep pace. Notably, Spirit failed to secure more than seven rounds on any map and lost two second halves without winning a single round.
The Singaporean audience was treated to an array of spectacular plays, particularly from Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, who was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the tournament. His exceptional AWPing skills were on full display, contributing significantly to G2’s victory.

Despite the overwhelming defeat, Danil “donk” Kryshkovets stood out as a beacon of hope for Team Spirit. He managed to hold his own against G2’s onslaught, ending the series with a commendable individual score. His head-to-head with Nikola “NiKo” Kovač resulted in a 10-9 record, showcasing his potential to be a future star with more team support.
G2 Esports demonstrated not just individual brilliance but also superior team coordination and tactics. Their ability to adapt and outmaneuver Team Spirit was evident throughout the match. The team’s strategic planning left Spirit scrambling for answers, particularly on their T-side executions. Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelski and the rest of the G2 squad showcased a harmonious blend of experience and energy. While Snax and NiKo had quieter games compared to their teammates, they still delivered crucial plays when needed. Nemanja “huNter-” Kovač stepped up significantly on the final map, while Mario “malbsMd” Samayoa provided consistent impact with his precise aim.
Team Spirit entered the finals as underdogs, and the match revealed opportunities for growth. Their lack of deep runs in major events since the player break appeared to affect their performance. The team struggled to get past G2’s defenses and frequently appeared flat and disconnected.
With this triumph, G2 Esports has claimed their third S-tier championship for 2024, cementing their position as an esports superpower. The team’s focus now shifts to the upcoming CS2 Major, where they hope to extend their winning streak and even capture a fourth major title.
