G2 came from behind to beat CyberZen 2-1 and advance to the Group A decider at the SL i-League StarSeries XIV Finals (6-16 on de_inferno, 16-14 on de_cache and 16-10 on de_mirage).

Group A's Lower Bracket match featured an interesting clash between G2, who had underperformed against Luminosity Gaming, and Chinese side CyberZen, who are still trying to find their way into the top tier.

No one certainly expected such a strong start to the series from CyberZen, who completely outplayed G2 on de_inferno, picking up a 16-6 win thanks to great performances from ZhiHong "⁠aumaN⁠" Liu and Zhuo "⁠advent⁠" Liang. 

G2 will face Na`Vi tomorrow 

Cache was highly contested from start to finish, but in the end G2 ran out 16-14 victorious despite a strong display from veteran Bin "⁠Savage⁠" Liu, who showed glimpses of his old self.

G2 got off to a great start on de_mirage and took a 10-5 halftime lead with Mikail "⁠Maikelele⁠" Bill leading the charge. After losing the first three rounds in the second half, CyberZen strung a series of rounds together to put some pressure on their opponents, but G2 kept pushing on and closed out the map 16-11 to come through a difficult test.
