in a row while North tries to win its first premier tournament since EPICENTER 2016, in which it defeated Virtus.pro when the team was signed with Team Dignitas. G2 and North both started off strong as the game on Cache nearly went the distance. In the end, G2 came up on top in a game Kenny "kennyS" Schrub dominated. G2 had no problem winning on North's map pick, Cobblestone. One of North's stars, Emil "Magisk" Reif, had trouble after getting just 8 kills. North then adjusted on Overpass and took off to a massive 14–2 lead. However, North then struggled and G2 adjusted and G2's leader, Richard "shox" Papillon, lead his team to a comeback. The team only allowed one round all the way up to round number 30, when North finally finished the job and barely took away the third map. However, the momentum swiftly moved into G2's favor, as Inferno turned into a clinic and G2 took its first premier tournament with the new lineup.
