G2 Esports’ Hans-Sama’ Steve Reeve, who reached the finals of First Stand, said that the reason for his victory was because he did a good meta-analysis on ban picks.
G2 defeated Gen.G 3-0 in the first stand semifinal game 1 held at ‘Riot Games Sao Paulo’ in Sao Paulo, Brazil on the 21st (Korean time) and headed to the finals. G2 reached the finals of an international competition for the first time in 7 years since the 2019 Worlds.
In an interview after the game, Hans-Sama said, “I’m really happy. It’s like a dream. It was like a dream to face T1 during my career, but now it feels like a dream has come true even more. I liked how we applied the play well to keep the pressure on and prevent a comeback when we faced Lavrov and Gen.J during the lane battle. I was really happy because we showed the fans everything we learned and practiced.”
Officials said that G2 defeated BNK Peer He said, “I think I did a good meta analysis. The Miss Fortune I chose is also the champion I used during Worlds 2021. Although it is an old champion, I was familiar with it when I chose it, and I think I thought well and planned well when combining the items.”
It has been 7 years since the 2020 Shanghai World Cup that G2 won 3-0 in an international match against Gen.G. He said, “I wasn’t a member of G2 at the time. But that game was touching, and it was great that ‘Caps’ was there and made such a great performance. I felt good and happy when we won this time.”
Finally, he replied, “I’m happy because I beat Gen.G today, but I need to prepare thoroughly for tomorrow. I’ll prepare thoroughly until tomorrow morning, but I also consider resting important.”
