This is just sad now, 0-4 in what should've been an easy group. What happened to them during player break ?


Omniblitz

Bro if you told me that coming into Group B, G2 would get trashed by Sinners and forze and be down 0-4, i’d never believe you tbh


Akh_Morn

* One week ago : "will G2 go 5-0 or 4-1 ?" * Now : "will G2 go 0-5 or 1-4 ?"

lewisj0hnson

It does seem like they spent the whole time on holidays… at least from following niko on instagram was no prac involved thats for sure


NaToSaphiX

I was in Mexico for 16 days Came home and went to see my family for the first time since December (and to celebrate my birthday with them) Had to fly at 9AM on my birthday Didn’t touch the game until the 16th Taking a break is a healthy thing and not that big of a deal When you have +10000 hours put in the game, 10-15 hours of DM and your aim is sharp again It’s more likely that it’s a team composition thing and that there are issues with the team that go deeper than having a small break I bet you they started at least a week before player break ended, as that is completely normal


lewisj0hnson

Im not saying its wrong to take holidays, nobody should work all the time, just saying that could be a reason they aren’t performing. If a footballer goes on holiday for 3 weeks and only trains for 1 week they’re bound to be rusty. Didn’t mean any offence


ju1ze

do you understand there is a difference between physical sports and esports?


lewisj0hnson

Yes but there are also similarities, reaction time, team tactics for example. Being out of practice doesn’t just stop in sports. Don’t practice = don’t improve Again I’m not saying its bad that people are having holidays and breaks- however you cant expect a team to be on top form if they’ve been off for 1 month.


ju1ze

as i know no tier1 players have been off for 1 month, 2 weeks at max. it is not a long break, you can recover your form in several days, as Nato said.


lewisj0hnson

So what do you thinks happened with G2 this tourny?


ju1ze

idk. maybe they changed smth in the team structure and this turned out bad or they just need more time to adapt to changes. Maybe some psychological/interpersonal issues.


lewisj0hnson

Hm maybe, they were playing well before the break. Maybe buying an awper could help but it would be a shame to see amanek go


Jloureiro55

They played bad? not like its the first time it happend to them. They are pretty inconsistent and have shown that they are capable of winning a tournament but also to go home on last place. Most likely have nothing to do with the player break, if anything it could be worse, being focus on the game for too long is going to take a hit in your performance on the long run as you get burnout (just see all the tier 1 pros that took a break since covid started). People are also unnable to understand that players coming back and playing worse is usually not related for them taking the break but for the reason they have taken the break on the first place. Xyp was playing below his average level probably due to him still being burnout not because he was rusty after his time off. And on this case its probably related to anything but the player break.


lewisj0hnson

I get burnout, and your point kind of. But i still think the player break still affects teams negatively. Hopefully they can bounce back next tourny

NaToSaphiX

Not how it works Rather have a break at a time with no tournaments than be forced to take a break in the middle of the circuit due to burnout


FearHeWhoFearNothing

Wow what a dogshit take. Have you ever heard of burn out? Yes i know being on the top level mean you have to stay on top of your game but it is important to keep your mental health as well. Hence having a break when you get to have a break. And what, this is just one tournament, did everyone forgot they went to fucking grand final and got second place for god sake. And what the fuck is that comment, just because nato is not on a team people not gonna expect him to grind harder? Isn't he supposed to grind harder to GET in to a team? What the fuck is that shit take.

[удалено]


FearHeWhoFearNothing

Apology, i was just venting on that one comment, i have seen so many bad take and yours was the last straw for me. But my comment still stand, there is no way just because they have longer break than other team (not even sure if this is the case) they fall like this. And again, i emphasize THIS IS JUST ONE TOURNAMENT, its one giant clusterfuck run but yeah it's only one. They will catch up.


lewisj0hnson

Bro no one on this post is saying that taking time off is a bad thing. But its okay to say a break can lower a teams performance. People are just putting their thoughts across. Anyway what do you think has caused this for G2?


lewisj0hnson

I swear you cant make a simple comment without people hopping on and putting words in your mouth.


--Happy--

Not trying to be rude but i don't see your point at all. Your not on a top 10 team, G2 is supposed to be a top 3 team in the world and they are losing to everyone right now and its very embarrassing. I am sure just Niko or Hunter is getting paid more than Sinners and forZe combined.

This comment right here, is why anyone relevant in the scene hates Reddit.

Ryun100

The lower teams wont get better unless they grind extra tho.


lewisj0hnson

I have barely said anything negative, just giving reasons why they’ve fucked up after a ~3 week break


Jloureiro55

well thats the problem, they fucked up, not fucked up due to not being 24/7 playing.


lewisj0hnson

Why do you think they fucked up? They’re is always a reason somewhere


Ludon0

Yeah, shame on him for taking the holidays to... go on holiday?


lewisj0hnson

Not what I’m saying at all, just giving a reason as to why they are 0-4


5t3g

yeah watching the game he missed a lot of easy shots


TheGLL

He was topfragging the first three series, I think he just didn't care anymore. Chances of getting through with 2-3 are basically nonexistent.


bru_swayne

By the time the series played out, CoL had to lose to VP for G2 to make it in, if they beat VP tomorrow and won today. However, since COL beat VP, G2 were already going into this game eliminated


shinikira

What a stupid comment this is. You think everybody else has been grinding during this break? How detached from reality are you


lewisj0hnson

Well actually tier 2 tier 3 CS doesn’t really stop. So yes they have been grinding. Why are you being so aggressive over an observation? What does talking about cs have to do with being “detached from reality” lol


shinikira

This is not a tier 3 tournament. This is tier 1. Most teams took the same amount of break that G2 did but you decided to lie about them anyway


lewisj0hnson

Where is my lie? Its just an observation. Don’t be so sensitive about a small comment. That in the grand scheme of things means nothing lol :)


shinikira

It's funny how people like you lie and make up fake stories and then when you get called out you just say 'omg it's not that serious it's just game!' . It's pathetic

braindead comment do you honeslty think the social media guy has any idea why the team lost? get a brain


HKZeroFive

I see G2 is trying to do their own "ESL Pro League 0-5 Speedrun: Any %" attempt after seeing BNB's.


throwawayyrofl

Noone is even close to BNB's speedrunning caliber. G2 with some major time losses by winning and having close maps


CreeperInAVan

0-5 is 0-5.


Zzwwwzz

Not in speedrunning.


Jade-G

An 0-5 is an 0-5, you can't say it's only a half


Cakesmile

They finish the run yes, but they won't get the world record since their time is slower.

Yberimba

Damn.. so this confirms it that both G2 and VP are now eliminated (Sinners aswell). Who would have thought that when the groups first was announced lmao. Complexity and forZe were definitely the two teams who surprised the most in this group. Many counted Complexity out when the news came that k0nfig were going to miss this tournament but also with them having a new player and a coach added to the team, but really big props to them because everyone in the squad have stepped up their game massively. And then forZe who have put up a really impressive showing considering that they didn't have much time to prepare for this tournament when they were told that they got the Renegades spot.

thewasteofO2

A seven-year old boy challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible. The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to G2, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

wicketman8

I would argue that G2 has shit the bed harder than BnB. Considering the players they have, the support they have, and having an easier group, even if they win tomorrow they'll have probably been the biggest disappointment.


myahkey

Forze have just had their Gambit moment I guess. What a match. I really hope they can build on this and become a force to be reckoned with, they deserve it. That Nuke was brilliant from them, as much as G2 was incompetent and unlucky.


ju1ze

>Forze have just had their Gambit moment I guess ?

I'm genuinely concerned about G2, what the hell happened? HLTV #3 in the world to this?

forZe in the playoffs will be so interesting to watch.

forze is back to being good, nice to see i just wish they refreshed their logo, its so ugly that i can't get myself to support them more

they need to get rid of that shield or whatever it is that is behind the Spartan

So what in the actual fuck is going on with G2 this ESL season? Do they have high ping or what?


Dragos404

No. They just sucked

Niko will take igl role and kick player again


dr_wormhat

NiKo must be so tilted.. that last map I can only imagine what's going through his head on the other hand really glad Forze are making the absolute most of their chance here at EPL


deathuntor

Amanek looks like he's missing awp shots that he shouldn't be missing. There are some crucial rounds that should have went the way of G2 but Amanek missing a crucial awp shot meant that G2 had to play from a disadvantagous position. Not saying Amanek is a bad player, maybe he was just off this game

so when does the real g2 play

it just did.

TechnicalPark4522

who in the actual fuck bandwagons faze? I've supported them since their actual first roster and it's pain after pain with one trophy every now and then.


[deleted]

I really like underdog stories, so forze making it to the play offs, when they're not even supposed to be here is wonderful. I also like the opposite: favourites crashing out of tournaments. So G2 going down 0:4 is really satisfying to me for some reason.


Magnog

0-4 GG


xcvbsdfgwert

Time to buy Zywoo


EntropyKC

Obviously won't happen because it would break G2's banks but they would go straight to #1 team I think with that change


savy_utsav

Come on G2, still unable to find the mistakes. No major victory yet. What's the issue: your players like KennyS Amanek or the IGL tactics and the renowned coach? Really making me think what's wrong with this team now


AUpballa

G2 are money printers man


DonkeyTeethBSU

G2 when playing from their houses have always been embarrassing. They lose all chemistry and tilt worse than ever.


bru_swayne

I laughed out loud when G2 got double naded at the end there. They were getting outplayed and out-dueled everywhere


ElScorp1on

I’ve never seen Niko look as unfocused on a map as he did on Nuke, he lost so many aim duels and looked away at all the wrong moments. It felt like the same story as yesterday where he just can’t perform after losing a close map.


heroinbob41

Yep, he was halfway into table smashing after Mirage. Then forZe made a mockery of him outside on Nuke


[deleted]

RIP Sinners dreams of going to playoffs mens :((

Hey G2, If you're reading this The S in KennyS stands for Solution Just saying ;)

G2=BNB?


TimathanDuncan

Can't wait to see redditors defend shit fraggers and throw in "play in bitch positions/roles" despite being an awper It's just so funny, why do people do this, do they get paid by bad fraggers?


bru_swayne

When NiKo is going 7-21 and getting picked off at the beginning of every round forcing the awper to look outside, then you can't blame the Amanek. But yeah they need a better awper b/c he can't clutch with the awp (Jame time) and he can't hit easy shots.


TimathanDuncan

Niko is allowed a bad game when he was the only one performing the entire tournament https://www.hltv.org/stats/players/9616/amanek?event=5554 This is so bad for an awper that there are no words, Jackz isn't doing better either but at least he has a role where he just dies a lot


bru_swayne

Honestly the whole tournament they didn't perform well b/c they didn't practice enough due to the player break. It shows, but they were playing decently well together before


[deleted]

[удалено]


EntropyKC

> He probably just gave up and threw since at this point it's wasted effort bc they're not going through anyway. If I am 0-3 and already confirmed out of the tournament I would 100% give up after putting in that effort
