ESL One Cologne 2018: The start of the run
Match starts at 13:10 CEST
In the first match of ESL One Cologne 2018 NAVI.GG.BET will meet with the French team
G2. The fight will begin on July 3 at 13:10 CEST and will be in the best of 1 format.
Like Natus Vincere, the French five received a direct invitation to the tournament. Most recently, some changes have taken place in its composition: instead of
apEX and
NBK, now
Ex6TenZ and
SmithZz are playing on the team. The only tournament that
G2 attended after renewing the lineup was ECS Season 5 - where the French took 5-6 places, unable to overcome the group stage of the competition.
The last time the paths of NAVI and
G2 crossed was in October 2017 in the regular part of the sixth season of the ESL Pro League, and then the French five won both maps (19:16 - Overpass, 16:14 - Nuke). We hope that our guys will start the tournament with a victory and will go to the semi-final of the upper bracket, where they will meet with the winner of the
