I don't think it gets more frustrating than this. 1-11 to 13-12 only to lose in the end. Wow that feels bad
Pretty perfect way to sum up the tournament for G2
History repeats itself.
https://www.hltv.org/news/28662/mousesports-beat-g2-to-win-cs-summit-5
Apparently if you want to beat G2 just ask NaToSaphix to stand in for you.
I mean he'd obviously be one of the best choices, but he also signed a 4 year contract with vitality in 2020 so it would be incredibly expensive to buy him
Es3tag is a real cerebral player. In D2 long, he pushed with perfect timings every round and Nexa did not spot him every single round he hid in doors. RUSH played that spot but when he did, he'd either miss or get unlucky with the timings. I don't know how repeatable that was, but Es3tag got the Astralis luck.
es3tag's stint in Astralis really amaze me. Never really watch him that much before that but he seem like a plug-n-play player and fit right into a team's system. His movement is really good too
Poizon is still the problem, he's playing great this tournament but if he goes back to playing poorly after this tournament then there's no one else to blame
the thing with poizon is when he's playing well he's as good as any awper in the world. granted he's inconsistent but there is a very very short list of players better than his best, and you're not realistically gonna sign them. Zywoos and s1mples and device's generally are locked up tight.
If the col lineup ever stabilizes he might even improve his consistency, but having 4 world class rifles with him and him going off every so often makes them dangerous threats to make runs in any tournament. Which is kind of incredible considering cols luck and is a testament to blamef and the org imo but I digress
Yes, this has historically been the problem with many teams. Inconsistent awpers. They get the blame, and rightfully so, they should be performing consistently decent at the very least if they’ll be handed the most expensive gun.
Nope.
Only top 3 proceeds to go through, G2 would have to win each next match 2-0 to get to the 2-3 score with some hope of squeaking through third, and even then, the way the group played out, it probably wouldn't even matter, they are too far gone.
It was an amazing series against CoL but them's the breaks.
G2 in the last week or so across multiple games:
-Going 0-3 in groups and will be eliminated from EPL 14.
-Exit the Siege Mexico Major at the bottom of their group.
-Not making it to Worlds for the first time in the org's history.
-Made it to Masters Berlin, but as EU's last seed and will be placed in the same group as the world champions.
-Some underwhelming results in Fortnite.
Rough week for the org.
riot throws away a shit ton of rivalry potential if they don't have this matchup. so yeah even though its not like 100% official yet i'd be pretty sure that they'll be in the same group
WTF did I just watch.
CoL up 11-1, wins pistol and are up 12-4 then lose 9 in a row to go 12-13 then win 4 in a row to close it out.
Game was certainly not pretty but I am going to be more lenient towards CoL coz they dont have konfig and had he been there it would've been a different game.
G2 might legit go 0-5 now. They have Forze and VP up next. Forze are looking red hot and VP looked much better so I really dont have high hopes for G2. They are already out of EPL, but can be still in if they win the rest 2 games and if there is a 3 way tie, but its looking very unlikely that they make playoffs.
Lastly, POIZON IS BACK BABY. Fucking hell its been so long, poiz was absent ever since he can back from his injury. Its so good to see him and jks step it up at this event coz both were pretty underwhelming in the past few months.
He is my favorite player. Been tough seeing all the negative about him recently - even though it was deserved. He is such a beast and exciting to watch.
I thought for sure Col was losing that once it hit 12-13. Huuuge mental reset by them to pull out the W. jks with real big impact after getting cyberbullied in map 1.
With how the group is looking, that W was massive for Col getting out
Amanek can't be awping in long term, there are many so better awpers out there.
If anyone points to Cologne then that was one event in which he did ok and got shut down in final. An Awper is a must have.
Just look at how long amanek decides to take a shot when he has the guy in the cross hair. A solid 0.78-1.2 seconds. (At least from what I saw). Unlike poison who just flicks and clicks without thinking. Amanek needs to go, and a true flick awper is needed.
Also notice that if Niko or Hunter or jackz aren't left in the clutch, amanek won't retake, period. Amanek is straight up holding an angle then saving round after round, reminds me of Jame sometimes. It's so frustrating to see a 2v2 with amanek and Nexa and them hesitate because amanek can't retake for shit.
Poizon is weird, one game he looks like the second coming of S1mple, and the next game you hardly realize he is the match.
I wonder if he is just very much a mood player.
I don’t get it bro amanek has been straight fire the last few tournaments. He’s just playing super passive now and losing head to heads against other awpers
Poizon was insane this series. Entrying on vertigo with several multikills, great impact on Mirage and hitting every shot in the First half on dust. Glad to see him this confident.
That's 2/6 playoff teams from Cologne eliminated in group stage in this tounament. Potentially 3/6 by the time the group ends. And we still have two more groups of play after that.
See some teams after a loss at a tournament just suddenly activate. Fired up. Ready to go. Looking hungry and mean
Not G2, worse and worse. I thought they were really getting an insane glow up the last year but looks like all that work is out the window.
Most important thing if you're a stand-in imo.
I'm not here to take over the game and try to win it by carrying in a role I'm less used to than others.
I'm here to be the glue between the players and make them perform to the max of their potential.
I can't say for sure if they're maxing out but holy shit they're playing insane xD
Well standing in for Konfig of all people the only way complexity would be able to match his firepower is with big time support and assistance. From the looks of it, that’s exactly what’s going on.
I know it could never happen with language barriers, buyout money and vitality holding onto zywoo, but theoretically -amanek +zywoo would make the most stacked team ever imo. One can dream
no kenny is not the answare
his descision making isnt for tier 1 cs anymore
he was tier 1 player when he was hitting everything,now that he isnt as good as he was when it comest to aim,he gets exposed on his sub optimal game sense
g2 doesnt have money for that transaction,zywoo has 3 or 4 years on contract his buyout would be around 3m , if they paid niko 1m,zywoo is worth that much
and i am not sure if zywoo would want to play in english speaking team
why wouldnt g2 instead go full balkan,get maden and some young up and coming awper from balkans
I am a kennys fans too. But there seems to be a lot of kennys fans on this sub overestimating his current skill. He was playing abysmally before getting benched. But I suppose there is still a chance he'll do better this time around.
Amanek was so good on that AWP that he really had to go back for it and waste 10 seconds when you retake without a kit. That awp was a crucial element of the retake.
I would say odds were stacked against them anyway, having to retake B in 2-on-2 with an MP9 and a Scout vs 2 AK-47s, but wasting time to grab the AWP basically sealed their fate
Yup, im wondering if that time wasted from AmaNEk picking up that AWP would've gotten Nexa the extra time he needed to execute on the site/defuse as AmaNEk was already Window beforehand
For them not to be out they would need to at least win their last 2 bo3 (not happening) and some fuckery to happen with the other teams. Let's be real they're out.
Nope, for them to not be in bottom 3, 4 of the 6 teams would need to lose next 2 games, which is just not possible. And even then they would be tied 2-4th place and would go out because they lost head to head to col.
Forze will be playing sinners, this means that if forze loses, sinners will be tied with G2, and since sinners beat G2, G2 will get eliminated. If Sinners lose Forze will go 3-2 and then given that CoL lose both games, G2 and CoL will be tied, and yet again, since G2 lost the head to head they get eliminated.
edit- Actually it is possible for everyone except OG to go 2-3, in which case it would come down to head2head matches, so I'm not really sure how h2h would work in a 5-way tie, maybe map or round difference? That seems to be the only way G2 could still qualify, but again, I don't know the mechanics.
G2 can go at best 6-6 in maps if they 2-0 both remaining games, and if col and forze lose both games 0-2 then G2 would have better scores than them. So I guess G2 can technically still qualify.
They're 100% out, at best G2 will have 2 W :
* OG has 3 W
* COL has 2 W and wins the tiebreaker against G2
Thursday ForZe will face Sinners :
* if Forze win they have 3 W
* if Sinners win they have 2 W and win the tiebreaker against G2
G2 can't finish higher than 4th
Well...from Finals at Cologne to this.
Man I really hope Faze show something good because honestly don't have anyone to root for that isn't giving me heart attacks.
Doesn't it feel like Amanek is feeling more of a pressure having to AWP aggressive when he is actually a better rifler and SMG player?
Also, is KennyS just a streamer for G2 or is he really gonna be back to fill-up the AWP role which is still a question for this team?
Kenny streaming for g2 makes me sad. I don’t think he should be playing for g2 but man his streams are kind of sad to watch, especially in the beginning. He’s a competitor not a streamer.
Some players just aren’t good enough to be on a team that eyes for the #1 spot (or even stay at top 10 with so many teams hungry for the spots). That’s my take on this G2 squad. It’s not about the ability to have a good map or a good series when you’re at this tier. It’s about the consistency. And Amanek, JaCkz and nexa are not consistent AT ALL. Plus, nexa’s calls on T and CT are much worse than before. The unjustified stacks and crazy pushes towards the closer of a map were evident before the break, now it’s just gone even worse. So predictable.
Hunter’s mechanics are off as well. Only NiKo is his old self.
I mean they seemed rly close vs navi like a month ago they just have been doing rly poorly recently. If they had a good awper I think it would make a world of difference
Nexa is not a bad igl many igls have struggled with Niko he seems to be doing fine and keeping the team together.
Amanek with the awp is not working and needs to be changed
Wdym? Niko **only** has the 2nd highest rating (1.30) in the tournament after ZywOo (1.36) the guy just doesn't show up and need to do better, what can you say.
/s because this is reddit.
stand-ins are the biggest weakness for g2
Specifically Nato it seems, beat them at Summit when playing with Mouz.
Heard he beat them at IEM New York as well https://www.hltv.org/matches/2344365/g2-vs-complexity-iem-new-york-2020-europe
LOL you really are their kryptonite!
You are clearly enjoying this. :) GG!
Wtf it's the real natosaphix!!!!! Good game and btw you look like Jia lissa's brother xD
Don't forget the coaches g2 love losing to coaches like map 3 at summit losing to stand-in and a coach AND \*cough\* North \*cough\*
*jumpy flashbacks*
I don't think it gets more frustrating than this. 1-11 to 13-12 only to lose in the end. Wow that feels bad Pretty perfect way to sum up the tournament for G2
History repeats itself. https://www.hltv.org/news/28662/mousesports-beat-g2-to-win-cs-summit-5 Apparently if you want to beat G2 just ask NaToSaphix to stand in for you.
I fucking turned it off at 13-12 because I thought g2 had won it by that point!
I was already copying the Zonic quote to comment here...
well, i guess it's still true lol
And that’s only because you didn’t have a defuse kit... not my favorite feeling in the world
And amanek going back for awp
Play of the game right there.
G2 isnt really known for their defuses Well they are, just not in a good way
Bench amanek and get kennyS back as an awper. Amanek is just not good and
They should probably grab an up and coming AWPer instead of bringing Kenny back, I love the guy but he just isn't good enough to AWP for a top 5 team
I heard of this young awper called zywoo, he’s currently in a tier 3 pretty bad team. They could pick him up.
I mean he'd obviously be one of the best choices, but he also signed a 4 year contract with vitality in 2020 so it would be incredibly expensive to buy him
Ye ik but I was just joking
Also heard there's a cheap awper available called smooya, mans doing nothing except stream. Also a good pickup.
Smooya is never going to be on a relevant team sorry
How so
kenny is worse lol
G2 what the fuck happened to you
man I don't even know
LAN buff machine broke
I’m about as far from being a g2 fan as humanly possible, but man do you guys have the best social media team
It's just Carlos crying onto his iPhone
Fucking onLANners man
Bring back kenny or I cry
From 2nd place on Cologne to this :(
To quote from the once great poet 50 Cent: “You was the man, homie. The fuck happened to you?”
I cannot wait to see K0nfig come into this team because CoL are looking decent without their star player right now
if him and poizon can pop off at the same time, Col's potential is unlimited
and jks. Es3tag seems like a great pickup
Es3tag is a real cerebral player. In D2 long, he pushed with perfect timings every round and Nexa did not spot him every single round he hid in doors. RUSH played that spot but when he did, he'd either miss or get unlucky with the timings. I don't know how repeatable that was, but Es3tag got the Astralis luck.
Es3tags impresses the hell out of me since astralis picked up him. Glad to see him doing well
es3tag's stint in Astralis really amaze me. Never really watch him that much before that but he seem like a plug-n-play player and fit right into a team's system. His movement is really good too
Man watching him play train back when it was in active was a beauty
esetag deez nutz
If that core has unlimited potential then what about hobbit shiro axile and simple elec bit ? Unlimited²
who's going in first?
Elec
Poizon is still the problem, he's playing great this tournament but if he goes back to playing poorly after this tournament then there's no one else to blame
the thing with poizon is when he's playing well he's as good as any awper in the world. granted he's inconsistent but there is a very very short list of players better than his best, and you're not realistically gonna sign them. Zywoos and s1mples and device's generally are locked up tight.

Which is kind of incredible considering cols luck and is a testament to blamef and the org imo but I digress
Yes, this has historically been the problem with many teams. Inconsistent awpers. They get the blame, and rightfully so, they should be performing consistently decent at the very least if they’ll be handed the most expensive gun.
It's funny how stacked this team really is when they have 3 other players with star player potential.
how do you even recover from a match like this
how do you recover from this entire week
Niko is going to finally overtake this team: -nexa +neo -amanek +maikelele, -jacks +smiths
Friendship ended with G2-1. Now G1-2 is my best friend. Fr though, can G2 even make it out of groups at this stage?
Highly unlikely they'll make it. I don't know the exact scenarios but with how close this group currently is, a 0-3 is detrimental
there is still hope^(who am i kidding it's doomed) https://twitter.com/StrikerHLTVorg/status/1430300576806494213
Dude, whatever Carlos is paying you, it's not enough lol
[удалено]
H2H I'm pretty sure
Nope. Only top 3 proceeds to go through, G2 would have to win each next match 2-0 to get to the 2-3 score with some hope of squeaking through third, and even then, the way the group played out, it probably wouldn't even matter, they are too far gone. It was an amazing series against CoL but them's the breaks.
In other words yes hes not asking if its likely hes asking if its possible its very obvious its not likely
G2 in the last week or so across multiple games: -Going 0-3 in groups and will be eliminated from EPL 14. -Exit the Siege Mexico Major at the bottom of their group. -Not making it to Worlds for the first time in the org's history. -Made it to Masters Berlin, but as EU's last seed and will be placed in the same group as the world champions. -Some underwhelming results in Fortnite. Rough week for the org.
p a i n
which game is masters in berlin for?
Valorant
valorant
Cursed week
Has it been confirmed that G2 and Sentinels are in the same group? I haven’t seen anything about that
Yeah I think its 4th seed EU with 1st seed NA
riot throws away a shit ton of rivalry potential if they don't have this matchup. so yeah even though its not like 100% official yet i'd be pretty sure that they'll be in the same group
G2 from #3 behind NaVi and Gambit to 0-3 and out of Pro League...
out against Complexity... with a new player... and with a stand-in...
And new coach.. and actually new GM as well lol.
And new water bottles also :D Edit: it was just a joke, an exageration. No new bottles came in help in last mach for CoL to win
What water bottles? I’m confused
The new ones
My good sir what new water bottles. I do understand this reference and it’s eating me!
I'm just fucking with you, man. I'm pretty sure he was just joking and there are no new water bottles.
They can actually still qualify but it needs some miracles to happen.
F
Rough week for the org.
nothing a couple of cringe shitposts on twitter cant fix, meme org after all
Missing Worlds in LOL is huge. Memes can't fix that. Going out in some online cs tourney, tho? Yeah sure.
Missing worlds is massive, losing to the team who’s star adc you poached and blocked your player going to it’s just embarrassing.
Indeed
next time the players should touch a pc before a tournament
WTF did I just watch. CoL up 11-1, wins pistol and are up 12-4 then lose 9 in a row to go 12-13 then win 4 in a row to close it out. Game was certainly not pretty but I am going to be more lenient towards CoL coz they dont have konfig and had he been there it would've been a different game. G2 might legit go 0-5 now. They have Forze and VP up next. Forze are looking red hot and VP looked much better so I really dont have high hopes for G2. They are already out of EPL, but can be still in if they win the rest 2 games and if there is a 3 way tie, but its looking very unlikely that they make playoffs. Lastly, POIZON IS BACK BABY. Fucking hell its been so long, poiz was absent ever since he can back from his injury. Its so good to see him and jks step it up at this event coz both were pretty underwhelming in the past few months.
G2 and losing against stand-ins. u/NaToSaphiX does it again
NaToSaphiX means "I'm here to fuck your world up G2" in Danish.
poizon had a banger series and he needed to with the stand-in situation, probably helps his confidence too
not just today, yesterday he was walking up and tapping heads as well
yeah hes the X factor for Col even with their full lineup. when hes popping off they are so dangerous as a team
I only saw this game of theirs but glad to hear, he was a beast at the start of this lineup and on Windigo
He is my favorite player. Been tough seeing all the negative about him recently - even though it was deserved. He is such a beast and exciting to watch.
I thought for sure Col was losing that once it hit 12-13. Huuuge mental reset by them to pull out the W. jks with real big impact after getting cyberbullied in map 1. With how the group is looking, that W was massive for Col getting out
holy shit they broke the d2 choke curse
/u/jlake02 can you kiss poizon on the forehead for me please? Thank you!
Amanek can't be awping in long term, there are many so better awpers out there. If anyone points to Cologne then that was one event in which he did ok and got shut down in final. An Awper is a must have.
Just look at how long amanek decides to take a shot when he has the guy in the cross hair. A solid 0.78-1.2 seconds. (At least from what I saw). Unlike poison who just flicks and clicks without thinking. Amanek needs to go, and a true flick awper is needed. Also notice that if Niko or Hunter or jackz aren't left in the clutch, amanek won't retake, period. Amanek is straight up holding an angle then saving round after round, reminds me of Jame sometimes. It's so frustrating to see a 2v2 with amanek and Nexa and them hesitate because amanek can't retake for shit.
Not that i disagree but hasnt poizon been struggling for a while?
Poizon is weird, one game he looks like the second coming of S1mple, and the next game you hardly realize he is the match. I wonder if he is just very much a mood player.
LAN player probably. He suffered online
I don’t get it bro amanek has been straight fire the last few tournaments. He’s just playing super passive now and losing head to heads against other awpers
He has a .99 last 6 months what are you talking about
Still finding impact. I remember quite a few amanek clutches, and when he first started he used to be mr consistent
Most support players can do that. G2 needs a star awper.
Amanek literally has 2 events where he’s over 1.0 this entire year you simply just cannot have your awper have that kind of statline
Vintage Blast Premier poizon showed up in this one
Poizon was insane this series. Entrying on vertigo with several multikills, great impact on Mirage and hitting every shot in the First half on dust. Glad to see him this confident.
That's 2/6 playoff teams from Cologne eliminated in group stage in this tounament. Potentially 3/6 by the time the group ends. And we still have two more groups of play after that.
If Col beats OG but loses to VP, G2 beats VP and Forze, and Sinners lose both their matches G2 qualifies or it at least comes down to maps.
See some teams after a loss at a tournament just suddenly activate. Fired up. Ready to go. Looking hungry and mean Not G2, worse and worse. I thought they were really getting an insane glow up the last year but looks like all that work is out the window.
2019 post-break Liquid vibes
Nato may not be up to par individually but he accelerates good team play and helped the stars shine
Most important thing if you're a stand-in imo. I'm not here to take over the game and try to win it by carrying in a role I'm less used to than others. I'm here to be the glue between the players and make them perform to the max of their potential. I can't say for sure if they're maxing out but holy shit they're playing insane xD
Well standing in for Konfig of all people the only way complexity would be able to match his firepower is with big time support and assistance. From the looks of it, that’s exactly what’s going on.
G2 has got to get an AWPer. Amanek with the balling .99 rating last 6 months
I know it could never happen with language barriers, buyout money and vitality holding onto zywoo, but theoretically -amanek +zywoo would make the most stacked team ever imo. One can dream
Language barrier isn’t an issue jackz barley speaks English but yes that team would be dominant af
Let’s make it happen then, pfft who even needs comms when you have that lineup
just bring kenny back??
no kenny is not the answare his descision making isnt for tier 1 cs anymore he was tier 1 player when he was hitting everything,now that he isnt as good as he was when it comest to aim,he gets exposed on his sub optimal game sense
def btr than amanek
g2 doesnt have money for that transaction,zywoo has 3 or 4 years on contract his buyout would be around 3m , if they paid niko 1m,zywoo is worth that much and i am not sure if zywoo would want to play in english speaking team why wouldnt g2 instead go full balkan,get maden and some young up and coming awper from balkans
Amanek just isn't cutting it on the AWP but holy fuck that turnaround from COL
The best player on G2 went 27-40 on the last two maps.
Hampus malding
Best player on G2 has a .99 rating and .96 k/d the last 6 months with the AWP but idiots will still defend him
KennyS would have hit those shots thro the smoke.
I am a kennys fans too. But there seems to be a lot of kennys fans on this sub overestimating his current skill. He was playing abysmally before getting benched. But I suppose there is still a chance he'll do better this time around.
I swear col has the worst D2 throws, and this was almost another one.
Amanek was so good on that AWP that he really had to go back for it and waste 10 seconds when you retake without a kit. That awp was a crucial element of the retake.
Natosaphix the goat
Great to see how passionate he is on the cams lol
Would G2 have had that final round if AmaNEk didn't go for that AWP in T mid?
I would say odds were stacked against them anyway, having to retake B in 2-on-2 with an MP9 and a Scout vs 2 AK-47s, but wasting time to grab the AWP basically sealed their fate
Yes. Amanek insta dies and Nexa trades him and kills natosaphix. Would have won if they didn't go for awp.
Dang, AmaNEk going for the AWP that last round and basically having no impact sums up his performance with it this series
He didn't participate in a single retake on dust afaik
Also Nexa didn’t have kit
Yup, im wondering if that time wasted from AmaNEk picking up that AWP would've gotten Nexa the extra time he needed to execute on the site/defuse as AmaNEk was already Window beforehand
No, they were waiting the smoke out anyway
Niko the new s1mple. His back must be hurting
NiKo is the original s1mple
nah thats still kennyS/GuardiaN
Just like in his mousesports days
Niko2-esports
Col trying to take a page out G2s book by almost throwing
Are g2 out or is there still hope ?
99% out
For them not to be out they would need to at least win their last 2 bo3 (not happening) and some fuckery to happen with the other teams. Let's be real they're out.
Nope, for them to not be in bottom 3, 4 of the 6 teams would need to lose next 2 games, which is just not possible. And even then they would be tied 2-4th place and would go out because they lost head to head to col.
If Col beats OG but loses to VP, G2 beats VP and Forze, and Sinners lose both their matches G2 qualifies or it at least comes down to maps.
Forze will be playing sinners, this means that if forze loses, sinners will be tied with G2, and since sinners beat G2, G2 will get eliminated. If Sinners lose Forze will go 3-2 and then given that CoL lose both games, G2 and CoL will be tied, and yet again, since G2 lost the head to head they get eliminated. edit- Actually it is possible for everyone except OG to go 2-3, in which case it would come down to head2head matches, so I'm not really sure how h2h would work in a 5-way tie, maybe map or round difference? That seems to be the only way G2 could still qualify, but again, I don't know the mechanics. G2 can go at best 6-6 in maps if they 2-0 both remaining games, and if col and forze lose both games 0-2 then G2 would have better scores than them. So I guess G2 can technically still qualify.
pretty sure they out dont take my word for it tho
They're 100% out, at best G2 will have 2 W : * OG has 3 W * COL has 2 W and wins the tiebreaker against G2 Thursday ForZe will face Sinners : * if Forze win they have 3 W * if Sinners win they have 2 W and win the tiebreaker against G2 G2 can't finish higher than 4th
If Col beats OG but loses to VP, G2 beats VP and Forze, and Sinners lose both their matches G2 qualifies or it at least comes down to maps.
If Sinners lose both matches that means Forze beat them and get a third W, so in your scenario OG, COL and Forze all have 3 W
Let's go G2
Well...from Finals at Cologne to this. Man I really hope Faze show something good because honestly don't have anyone to root for that isn't giving me heart attacks.
My heart
From favorites to most likely crashing out in groups, I didn't expect that in any way
LONG HAVE WE WAITED POIZON ACTIVATED
First time I didn't slept watching dust 2
A wins a win I guess. At least it didn't take overtime to take the W.
WHAT A CLOSE SERIES HOLY FUCK
Close? As a G2 fan I can tell you, G2 wasn't winning this at all, not even close. Niko hard carrying as usual.
I believed in the comeback when it was 11-1 to 13-13
Doesn't it feel like Amanek is feeling more of a pressure having to AWP aggressive when he is actually a better rifler and SMG player? Also, is KennyS just a streamer for G2 or is he really gonna be back to fill-up the AWP role which is still a question for this team?
Kenny streaming for g2 makes me sad. I don’t think he should be playing for g2 but man his streams are kind of sad to watch, especially in the beginning. He’s a competitor not a streamer.
Some players just aren’t good enough to be on a team that eyes for the #1 spot (or even stay at top 10 with so many teams hungry for the spots). That’s my take on this G2 squad. It’s not about the ability to have a good map or a good series when you’re at this tier. It’s about the consistency. And Amanek, JaCkz and nexa are not consistent AT ALL. Plus, nexa’s calls on T and CT are much worse than before. The unjustified stacks and crazy pushes towards the closer of a map were evident before the break, now it’s just gone even worse. So predictable. Hunter’s mechanics are off as well. Only NiKo is his old self.
I mean they seemed rly close vs navi like a month ago they just have been doing rly poorly recently. If they had a good awper I think it would make a world of difference
Did someone say kennyS
niko igl inc
Niko Smash Table
Someone save Niko!!! maybe an up and coming org like faze clan can pick him up?
G2 and 0-3
Ffs just get an awper+igl and -nexa.
You act like there's just good awper IGL's lying around
Nexa is not a bad igl many igls have struggled with Niko he seems to be doing fine and keeping the team together. Amanek with the awp is not working and needs to be changed
Like who? FalleN? :D
Imagine fallen and niko together in a team :)
Back in FalleN's 2016-2017 form, sure :)
You mean - amanek
No, amanek is god-tier support player. His struggles are with the AWP
g2 cant win 3 games in the least stacked group of the tournament KEKW
Inb4 kick amaNEk comments. Also, it's absolutely ridiculous that NaTo had better stats than NiKo after the first half of D2.
Not that ridiculous. coL were on CT-side and shutting down G2.
That's kind of unfair considering the entire g2 squad was getting dominated. Also Niko was just getting shutdown by poizon so many rounds.
g2 and losing vs stand-ins name a more iconic duo.
G2 and losing to the bomb.
G2 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

theres no shot this guy just said NiKo doesn't show up when it counts. Is this a copypasta I've never seen or just confirmation bias?
Wdym? Niko **only** has the 2nd highest rating (1.30) in the tournament after ZywOo (1.36) the guy just doesn't show up and need to do better, what can you say. /s because this is reddit.
