G2 have proved once again at the Allied Esports Odyssey that they’re one of the best Valorant teams in Europe, if not the world, after knocking out FunPlusPhoenix and taking home the lion’s share of €15,000.
G2 Esports are still undefeated in Grand Finals. After winning their third consecutive event with a convincing playoff run in the Mandatory.GG Cup Playoffs, Mixwell and co. continued their hot streak and made it four Ignition Series event wins in a row.

Valorant Allied Esports Odyssey recap
The Allied Esports Odyssey panned out in the early stages as most expected. Big names like G2, FunPlusPhoenix, Ninjas in Pyjamas, and Team Liquid managed to make it through the group stage to the final knockout round.
G2 managed to get revenge on FunPlusPhoenix twice in the playoff round for a loss they were handed during the group stage. The first one sent Phoenix down to the losers bracket, where they would easily breeze past NiP to then beat Team Liquid in the loser’s bracket finals and move on to the main event.
On the other side of the playoffs, G2 played like the unstoppable force they’ve become known as, beating Liquid in the upper bracket finals to one again face off with FunPlusPhoenix in the Grand Finals.
Once there, it was definitely a one-sided affair, with G2 taking two matches in a row to wrap up the best of three in record time. With four first-place finishes in the biggest Valorant events so far, it’s safe to say G2 is riding high as one of the top teams in the game’s early competitive days.
