When you think g2 are good they are bad, when you think g2 are bad they are good 😂

[@CitySwimmah]

Let's then hope for a miserabe year for them and see if the hypothesis holds

G2 are the new Navi 😂

G2 Faze is the most unpredictable match these days

[@wasd1941]

😂😂

[@otakurt1149]

Take this from a G2 Fan G2 is the most coin flip confusing team who have inconsistency in the name But honestly between them being bots and godlike it sure as hell makes it very damn entertaining and interesting to watch them because you can't not be emotionally invested in how the team both pulls off the most godlike plays you cheer for and the most silver type moment you cry over It's never boring when you're G2 whether they're winning or choking

[@cloke3076]

If they feel it they legit unstoppable. If they are not, they are still strong but can lose 50/50.

[@Pyxyty]

True!!! Being a G2 fan will suck like hell whenever they lose to teams they shouldn't be losing to, but when they finally fire on all cylinders it's so satisfying to watch.

[@DarkArey]

I fell the same whether they lose or win it doesn't matter i just wanna see them play

[@RazeRRedux]

both teams are literally so annoying but fun to watch cause one day they never miss and the next they can’t get anything done

[@user-lq8kl7iy1x]

G2 самая бесподобная команда. Всё матчи смотреть приходиться с замиранием сердца. Победа или проигрыш,всё равно лучшие. Самая лучшая команда в мире, а все остальные команды просто одни звёзды которые надоели.

[@abhi8441999]

Hooxi was in karrigan's head the whole game. Loved to see it XD

[@Jin-1337]

Masterclass counter stratting from Hooxi. His performance also helped alleviate the burden on the other players mind which then helps their own performances. Karrigan looks lost during Inferno and I don't blame him. Haven't seen this much dominance in strategy than during that time when Astralis picked Vertigo against Liquid.

[@Pyxyty]

Those back to back A execs in Ancient... First one was a good read, the second one was just a backhanded slap to Karrigan forcing them to adjust 😂 I hope Hooxi keeps it up

Navi gives you heart attack? Now watch g2 as well everygame. You might have to just replace your heart entirely with how their high and low ceiling can be.

[@Pyxyty]

Yep. So fucking accurate. When watching games I hang out in the official G2 discord chat, and ooooh boy, once G2 loses a couple rounds in a row even when they're at 14 or 15, everyone gets panic attacks (and rightfully so given how many times G2 has choked before 😂).

As a faze fan, that inferno was depressing, Hooxi was on it on T side, the calls were very good and he was fragging like crazy, G2 is very inconsistent and I think Faze was like a mental barrier for them, glad to see them finally playing good

[@Twistzz_BrawlStars]

this g2 is not just gaming organisation, they are family

I was expected G2 losing by Faze. Great performance. I don`t know what happened to Faze Clan, however something happened because was 2-0 for G2. GG

That also isn't what he said about NA. He wasn't talking about Liquid being bad, he was talking about the practice environment being awful, which liquid players themselves even say.

[@Imsow1ldHD]

G2 did their homework on inferno. Really great game plan

[@rmrafa183]

For once in a while, this looks like the G2 that won Katowice

[@n0t1on]

hunter and magisk are the most inconspicuous, but important players in their team, their main benefit is stability

[@cloke3076]

These G2 are complete different from the G2 we saw a week before.

[@Pyxyty]

15:08 I love Scrawny's casting goddamn. "They don't give a damn about your banana pressure! They don't give a damn about your Inferno! They don't give a damn about your win last week, because today is for the Lanxess, and today, Inferno is all G2!" 🗣️🔥

[@MandrewTheFrog]

Big up to G2! Congrats on making the outcome of a game always unknown no matter the opponent! Crushed by a tier 3 team but crushes a tier 1 team like okay sure how does that even make sense. Every game I watch them is a genuine thrill because I know they could lose 13 rounds in a row on match point then lose in over time.

[@foszila]

awesome match

[@itszaque5031]

I used to think C9 were the most confusing top team but G2 is giving them a run for their money!

[@itszaque5031]

I know people go after Hooxi for the recent issues but he proved himself today. Good stats on inferno, great calls on both maps.

[@brixtergeronimo3352]

Faze looks like they were off today. Nothing was going for them and the timings as well, also they werent hitting their shots These two teams know each other so much that they can predict what each other can do, so it really depends if either of them has an off day, and G2 capitalize on Faze having an off day But(not a faze fan btw) Faze got 2-0’d by G2 in blast groups, then met each other again and faze won 2-0, so if you put faze in corner, they will fight more than usual. But aslo, G2 rn is probably the best team to go against vitality because vitality rn looks unstopabble

[@decencysins7801]

Heroic can beat Vitality

[@malcowicz]

That's the boys I know. Welcome back guys!

[@captainminecraftist]

G2 lost their last two faze matchups in quarters of tournaments, good to see this win. They may end up facing them again at some point in the trouney tho so well see. Just shows what g2 was like when hunter was actually playing like the top 20 player he is supposed to be and now that they fixed the energy. They seemed lethargic and pissed the last few months. Now theres a lot more WOOOOS form Hooxi

[@koolaiddude7685894]

Its amazing what G2 can do when theyre awake

By round 6, faze had gotten 75% of their round wins on inferno, truly crazy how stomped they were on it after their last time at coppenhagen where they beat G2 handedly on the map

Only squads that are left intact😢. Sad to see so many players replaced in so many squads even the major winners. ( I think heroic as well)

I reckon for groups, Hooxi having his ACL shattered was a huge vibe killer for the entire event, cuz that kind of injury is insane . . . So I'm glad our good friends at FaZe can hand us a free win during these hard times 👌👍

[@poliktrew148]

It's kinda like him and hunter got beef with karrigan, but idk for sure tho

[@Pyxyty]

I'm almost certain there's no beef? Why would there be haha. As Hooxi said in an interview, he just wanted to bring max energy for this game since they havent felt confident recently, and since they were gonna go up against a tram that recently beat them. Ofc, i could easily be wrong because it's not like i know them or anything, but just sharing info of what he said that could clarify a bit abt

[@dask5687]

If Hunter keeps this up theyre winning cologne

[@dask5687]

I fucking called it

[@KazarianFhas]

The new g2's recipe to winning is to not have the weight of the world on Niko's shoulders. During their blast and kato win, niko was not the tournament mvp, nor was he top fragging most of the games. Anytime g2 starts looking shaky, Niko has to stand up and do everything, from opening up sites to clutching and fragging out. I don't think Niko topfragging every game is the problem, but rather it is a symptom of the team not functioning at a 100%

[@__Awaken__]

Always hated seeing these 2 teams go against each other knowing 1 will loose unless it’s finals 😭 Looks like faze has been figured out by g2 in this matchup. Inferno was disappointing

[@BakuraGZ]

Just tell me why you set NaVi vs OG and G2 vs FaZe at the same time? Dude I would like to watch both full lives. 🤨

[@ikillgiants9268]

It's always been like this the narrative of Faze Clan. They start slow then qualify the fuck out to the playoffs. But the matchups they will be facing later is so stacked man. Navi, Mouz/Astralis which are all in good forms. I hope G2 and Faze meet again in the arena.
