Most normal G2 match. From utter domination to classic choke to domination yet again. But i am more hopeful of this lineup than previous bcoz holy Malbs. And hey, the back stabbers lost, so good day for all CS fans.

It is still a notable part of history since the nip run was a mix of online and lan tournaments. While g2 had theirs despite being just 21 maps, it is during two LAN S-tier events

[@HaloNeInTheDark27]

Its kinda impressive how little credit G2 fans give to Snax. Edit: its also kinda impressive the dumb replies they give. Like, thanks to snax we are in the losing bracket. Yes you are, with teams like Spirit and Faze, which are some of the favourites. Also are you kids trolling or what? Its not like you won every single event before Snax joined so, what are you even talking about? Also the G2 wins because they outfrag the others. Yes geniuses, outfraggin the opponent is kinda necessary in an FPS. Thats like saying they win because they play better. How can you win if you play worse and frag less? Why is everyone so proud of having no understanding of reality whatsoever?

[@samueltrankvill735]

Agreed

[@Sandel99456]

Considering that they are still facing elimination I find that disrespectful

[@jpee2243]

Honestly it’s just how fans are. Any successful team, that have their superstars firing on all cylinders will only get the recognition. Even though most of the set plays are from the IGL. Reminds me of how little credit chopper was getting for team spirit. And then as soon as the team starts failing, fans want to solely call out the IGL. Very interesting duality 😂

People saying that it's classic g2 need to expand their perception. This game isn't black and white, game pace changes, players gain momentum, others sometimes lose it. What matters the most is how you recover from it. Sometimes, you just completely dominate. Sometimes, the opponent strikes back because they are resilient, which is normal. G2 is incredibly hard to play against nonetheless. Too much versatility for any team to be comfortable with them
