G2 are through to the Upper Bracket final of Group A at the ESL Pro League Finals after moving past Luminosity 16-12 on Train.

Following the surprising opener at the ESL Pro League finals, which saw OpTic Gaming ease past Astralis, action resumed with the other Group A match, pitting Luminosity, riding the wave after winning DreamHack Austin last weekend, and G2 Esports.

Luminosity got out to a quick 8-0 lead in the game as G2 struggled to find a way to break through their opponents' defense. It was only then that the Frenchmen finally managed to get some rounds on the board, powered by Cédric "⁠RpK⁠" Guipouy and Edouard "⁠SmithZz⁠" Dubourdeaux, but still the Brazilians sat on a comfortable 11-4 lead at the end of the half.

G2 kept themselves in the game by winning the pistol round and the following anti-eco. Luminosity then went on a kevlar/tec9 buy, but they fell short to G2's MP9s and had to go on another eco. After buying up, Luminosity were finally able to get a round as Terrorist thanks to an A split, but G2 continued grinding out rounds and brought the scoreline to a 12-12 stalemate, forcing Gabriel "⁠FalleN⁠" Toledo to call a timeout.

Despite the pep talk, Luminosity struggled to find the key against G2 as the French team continued in the driving seat, picking up the next four rounds to seal a surprising 16-12 victory.
