G2 Esports have been eliminated from the BLAST.tv Paris Major<\/a> after losing their third series of the Legends Stage to Fnatic on Monday. <\/p>\n

G2 entered the final CS:GO Major as the pre-tournament favourites with most esports betting sites<\/a>, but defeats in their first two series meant they could not afford to lose another.<\/p>\n

The reigning BLAST Premier World Final<\/a> and IEM Katowice<\/a> champions began their series against Fnatic with a hard-fought overtime victory on Inferno (19-16), before they lost 11-16 on Ancient to send the series to a third map. <\/p>\n

On Vertigo, Fnatic jumped out to a 9-6 lead in the first half and appeared to be in control of the map.<\/p>\n

Even though G2 won seven straight rounds on their CT side and took the lead at 13-12, the world no.15 levelled up at 13 apiece before rattling off three more rounds to take the victory and send G2 home. <\/p>\n

Due to the loss, Nikola \u201cNiKo\u201d Kovac will never lift a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/a> Major trophy. <\/p>\n

NiKo came close on several occasions in his seven years of professional play — notably at the 2018 ELEAGUE Boston and 2021 PGL Major Stockholm Majors when he made the grand final, but his team lost on both occasions. <\/p>\n

ENCE and Bad News Eagles joined G2 Esports in being eliminated from the Major, while Monte, Team Liquid and GameLegion advanced to the Champions Stage after taking their records to 3-1. <\/p>\n

The final day of the Legends Stage will feature three cracking series, opening with a sudden-death blockbuster between FaZe Clan and Natus Vincere. <\/p>\n

The other two series will see Fnatic meet Into The Breach and Apeks take on Ninjas in Pyjamas in do-or-die best-of-three series to end the Legends Stage. <\/p>\n
