Worlds 2020: 3 Word Recaps and MVP of Gen.G vs G2 Esports
By Josh Tyler
We break down today’s series between Gen.G and G2 Esports.
Today we concluded the quarterfinal round of Worlds 2020 with another intra-region matchup. Europe’s best team, G2 Esports, faced off with Korea’s #3 team, Gen.G in a battle to advance and face tournament favorites Damwon Gaming.
G2 entered this series as their region, and the entire West’s, last chance at Worlds 2020. On the other side, a Gen.G win would guarantee a Korea vs. China finals in the World Final. Which team came out on top, and who was the MVP of the series?

3 Word Recaps
*The winning team is in bold
Game 1: Gen.G vs. G2 Esports – Mid game swing
Careful looking at the gold graph for Game 1 because you might get whiplash. The game was even through the first 20 minutes of the game (Gen.G actually had a slight lead for the first 15) and then G2 just started winning fight after fight, snowballing the game to a win.
Game 2: Gen.G vs. G2 Esports – Gen.G gets clapped
I mean…dear god Caps is good isn’t he? He went 11/0/11 in Game 2 on Sylas, leading his team in damage as a melee mage, and absolutely carrying teamfights and putting his team on match point.
Game 3: G2 Esports vs. Gen.G – No reverse sweep
After yesterday’s performance, you wouldn’t fault EU fans for being a little nervous about seeing G2 up 2-0. Lucky for them, G2 was not having any of that as they stomped through Game 3 to complete the sweep over Gen.G.

MVP of the Series
Rasmus “Caps” Winther (G2 Esports, Mid)
There’s no other choice given how hard Caps smurfed on Sylas in the second (11/0/11) and third (6/3/13) games of the day. His first game of the day, a 4/1/11 Twisted Fate game, was also quite impressive. Caps ended up with a 21/4/35 scoreline on the day (a 14.00 KDA) and averaged 650 DPM in the series.
