Ji tu esport - the chinese org base on guangzhou include: Mao Ni Si Ni Kao Nie Xia Han Ta Hu Xi This team had big drama with a former player from japan name JuKi-San. Ji Tu ghosted him after IEM Sydney and replaced him by Nie Xia silencely. JuKiSan had called to JiTu for many time but no one replied him. SunJi - JuKi-San’s friend, was very angry and he say JiTu is very rude, a childish team.

What a sick game it was. No matter who was winning (wanted G2 to lose) loved the entertainment that game illustrated. G2 are in huge trouble. They're not winning cups aa they wanted but reaching playoffs, now even more critical getting squashed by two teams. Something isn't the same in this team, either the role switch or the players. Niko is the most inconsistent top level pro I've ever seen in my life, Also, Monesy didn't play bad, he was testing what happens if he doesn't play at all. Poor monesy his back is finally broken by carrying the old hags.

[@thewhipofjustice5869]

@@XLBMummyXI agree that yekindar looks like a shadow of his former self but replacing him with Jks makes no sense. Yekindar is one of the most aggressive players (and entries). Jks on the other hand plays mostly supportive and anchor roles. That makes him by definition very passive and therefore unfitting for Yekindars role.

An absolute roller coaster of emotions, how in the goddamn G2. Hooxi and hunter having to single handedly try to save the team on the last map while the kept playing into the jaws of M80 was painful to watch. Well played to M80, slaxz deserves the win for the effort he put in to push them accross the line as an awper, and managed to keep G2 on the back foot for so much of the series.

[@user-fv2hb4mm7m]

Congratulations to M80, really great game from them

[@NewTears1]

When map 1 is over and there’s still over an hour left in the video you know you’re in for a banger

[@Frogesh]

*spoilers* Some brilliant insights by Ynk and Maniac on vertigo and I think thats exactly whats wrong with G2. Their Tactics and macroplays are horrible, but the individuals always bail the team out. If hunter didn't catch swisher like 3 times in a row it would've been a much faster win for M80. Niko needs to take a break like simple or just retire, I don't know what the actual heck hooxi and taz is cooking behind the scenes but it hasn't worked. Hooxi gets exposed for the 700th time but this time m0nesy didnt bail him out.

[@mariussndr1038]

Hooxi acutally owns e.g. Inferno tactical wise, the problems are niko and nexa + an inconsistent hunter. If Hooxi is close to his top fraggers (and this match he dropped 37 kills) then its not his fault. No idea what Taz is doing

[@Bob-ed8hc]

[@nakenfaan]

niko is a relic. he doesnt have it anymore

[@al_bortman]

Exactly. They have insane talent on the team.. but at the same time that works against them. Mostly monesy needs quad kills to win rounds. If not it’s Niko and hunter. Teams like Faze and Vitality (especially Faze) have such good teamwork and ditch ego because they all want to win more than anything else. Karrigan can go 5 for 20 but all those deaths are trades or better. Experience and maturity just end up beating raw talent. G2 is missing that.

Name a better combo then a vertigo decider and an absent niko

[@emmanuelagudo4918]

You know how people say 'pick your own fight', G2's conviction with that 'Exhibitionist' posturing and positioning, for every round there is to come, is quite admirable. What is actually the climax before the suspense is, that their opponents always just rise up to the occasion-- and we really see beautiful counter-strike omg! I cannot imagine the pressure anymore, since I feel like they are catching not the best, but all the worst in people in this league omg!

[@H0rstHantelbank]

Nexa the literal anchor

[@debadityabhattacharya1715]

[@georgehill3087]

I don't think M80 played that well. It's not like they did an S-tier team performance against G2. They did well, but mainly because G2 went B-tier performance. G2 played noticeably worse than yesterday when they played against The Mongolz.

[@ShoneYone]

Tbh they were good but this is literally worst G2 performance we saw in years and even with that M80 had problems to close the game. (I'm speaking objectively, I'm not a fan of any team)

Every player is a good player on G2, In some games it’s more evident one or another. The problem is that they are not performing consinstently individually. Also sometimes hooxie has bad positions, but there isn’t anybody you have to kick or swap, just make a better environment and circumstances to get the most out of each individual player

Why is the M4A4 being used again nowadays? Did something happen that I don't know?

[@chubamoa3640]

Given the new loadout system, pros equip both the m4a4 and m4a1s to use in different situations. m4a4 is mainly used by B anchors as of now since they have to defend sites and rushes etc...and the extra bullets are a great help in those situations.

[@WhatsThisOwO]

@@chubamoa3640 Interesting, but... I don't know. For me, the A1 has too many raw advantages compared to the A4's sprayability. When going up against armored players, you need all the advantage you can get I feel like. Obviously they're pros so maybe they know stuff that I don't, I don't know.
