Given no chance of leaving a mark at IEM Dallas, G2 Esports has shocked the Counter-Strike world by making the playoffs with a 2-1 reverse sweep over hometown heroes Liquid. The surprise victory leaves just one North American star gracing the Dallas stage as this weekend rolls on—G2 stand-in Stewie2K.

Stewie was overwhelmed in the post-game interview, stating the adrenaline was pumping after pulling off the reverse, which included a 9-0 run on Inferno and a max-regulation decider on Nuke. “I’m zoned out, I’ve got no words,” he said, adding he and the team were confident they could complete the lower bracket run after overcoming MOUZ in yesterday’s semifinal.
