YOUR #RLCS LONDON MAJOR CHAMPIONS: @G2RocketLeague!
G2 REIGNS IN LONDON, WINNING THEIR SECOND RLCS LAN EVENT BY TAKING DOWN TEAM FALCONS!
— Rocket League Esports (@RLEsports) June 23, 2024
Following their second-place finish at the Copenhagen Major earlier in the year, G2 entered the year’s second Major as one of the favourites with most esports betting sites.
With a roster featuring Massimo “Atomic” Franceschi, Daniel “Daniel” Piecnenski, and Landon “BeastMode” Knoerman, who are all established players in the Rocket League scene, G2 cruised through their early games, recording back-to-back 3-0 series victories.
However, it would be Team Falcons that would hand them their first and only defeat of the tournament in the third round of the group stage, as they dominated G2 3-0 (4-2, 2-0, 6-0).
G2 bounced back with a tough win against Gen.G to book their place in the playoffs and set up a clash with Spacestation Gaming in the quarter-finals.
Both G2 and Falcons claimed 4-1 victories in their quarter-final series against Spacestation and Gen.G, respectively, setting up mouth-watering matches against FURIA and Gentle Mates in the semi-finals.
G2 played out a back-and-forth encounter with FURIA before taking the series with a 4-2 (2-0, 3-0, 1-3, 1-3, 2-1, 2-1) score line, while Falcons was pushed all the way to seven maps in their 4-3 (1-2, 4-0, 1-3, 1-0, 2-3, 2-1, 2-1) win over Gentle Mates.
Although Falcons took the opening map of the grand final 2-1, G2 didn’t let the demons of their previous clash get to them, and thanks to an outstanding performance by BeastMode, they won the next four to wrap up the series 4-1 (1-2, 2-0, 2-1, 1-0, 3-0).
BeastMode was awarded the London Major Most Valuable Player after his stand-out performance for G2 Stride, with the 18-year-old earning his second MVP award of his career.
]]>Team BDS, G2 Stride and Team Vitality entered the second Major of the 2024 RLCS season as the favourites with esports betting sites and they didn’t let their followers down, as they all claimed dominant round one victories.
All but one of the favourites won their round one clashes, with only Oxygen Esports losing to PWR in a 3-1 (2-1, 3-1, 2-0, 5-4) upset in the first match of the tournament.
Heading into the second round of series, G2 Stride drew the easiest match-up in the winners’ bracket, as they took on PWR and thrashed the Oceania squad 3-0 (6-0, 5-1, 3-2), maintaining their perfect record after a 3-0 (1-0, 3-2, 3-1) win in round one.

Team Vitality clashed with Gen.G and were forced to play all five maps before claiming a gritty 3-2 (5-0, 2-1, 1-3, 1-3, 1-0) win to remain undefeated on the opening day.
Joining G2 and Vitality in the round three winners’ bracket will be Team Falcons and FURIA, who bested Team BDS and Gentle Mates in their respective clashes in round two.
The winners of each of the two round three winners’ bracket series will qualify for the playoffs, earning themselves the rest of the day off to prepare for Saturday’s quarterfinals.
On the other end of the spectrum, Twisted Minds, Chieds Esports Club, Gaimin Gladiators and Team Mobula will play for their tournament lives on day two, following back-to-back losses on the opening day, with a third loss resulting in elimination from the London Major.
The RLCS London Major will resume at 2pm BST on Friday.
