Map results

Breeze

Leviatán took Breeze 13-10 in a competitive opening map. The 3-round winning margin reflected a map where spike and Neon's combined individual output gave Leviatán consistent first-contact advantages before G2's tactical system could establish the structural map control their compositions require. trent's individual output for G2 was competitive across Breeze but the collective Leviatán system was more reliable across both halves.

Split

G2 levelled the series on Split 13-8 - trent's historic individual performance driving their Map 2 dominance. His 2.20 series rating and 327 ACS across the full series reflected a player operating at one of the highest individual outputs in VCT Americas history - his Map 2 performance specifically the standout display of the entire Week 2 schedule. The 5-round winning margin confirmed G2's ability to control maps when trent reaches his individual ceiling.

Bind

Bind was the series decider and spike's defining performance of the tournament. His 19 First Kills on Bind repeatedly broke G2's defensive setups before they could establish the rotations that their Split Map 2 win had demonstrated was their primary structural strength. His 59 total kills across the series was the highest kill count of any player in the match - reflecting a player whose individual aggression on Bind gave Leviatán the first-contact advantages that closed the series 13-11.
