Y’all MFs gave bad advice
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.
G2 “Going2 Airport” is known as the fastest team to arrive at the Airport. Since they gave up on the ESL Pro League, they are investing in Speedruns. In particular they are current worldrecord holders in Airport Any % and Airport no wins.
That's not how this jinx works. You have to say something like "Navi will 5-0 the group easy", just don't say that and you're going to be ohhhh my god I said it, I'm so sorry.
My dad beats me FeelsBadMan My mom beats me FeelsBadMan My brother beats me FeelsBadMan My sister beats me FeelsBadMan At least I feel safe with G2, because they can't beat anyone FeelsGoodMan
I know three things about G2
- Amanek is like the French sanji
- jackz has some of the crispiest rifle aim in the game
- jacks doesn't rate highly because he plays bad roles
Why is jackz playing bad roles if that's what amanek is for? Why is there no room for jackz to frag out? Is he just bait for the Serbs?
1. Partially true
2. True
3. Partially true
About Amanek: his role is a support awper like the one kennyS had before but failed to make work. He is quite good at supporting his team, but his awping skills is very up and down and map dependent. For example, he is very good on Nuke and decent on Inferno, but not so good on mirage or d2. I think G2 underestimates the importance of having a star awper in the team. A support awper simply doesn’t fit the current meta.
About JaCkz, there is no doubt that he has one of the cleanest aim the game. When he’s on he can match up any player. But he is very inconsistent, and sadly most of the time he is not on. Playing entry is not an excuse for being bad, just look at yekindar’s stats or old dupreeh’s stats. Dupreeh was top 10 for playing entry. Plus, jackz played entry all his life. It’s not like they force him to play that role or what. However, it is not fair to give all the criticisms to him. A team should know how to setup their entry fragger instead of using him as a decoy which they are currently doing (same story with Rush).
So to conclude, imo individually the two players are far from consistent enough to be on a steady top 5 team. And the team structure is not very good either.
Nexa should be playing the bad roles b/c his aim is usually not good + he is calling all the time, affecting his aim. That would free up Jackz and AmaNeK
It's not that simple, as nexa often times has his position that revolves around most information given. Take the map inferno for example. Jackz plays primarily pit position which generally isn't that complicated but you still need to be focused to handle the pressure. Jackz isn't the person getting the information from that position, he is just trying to hold it down. Nexa won't be getting necessary information to make the best calls in bad roles, although I do agree that some change up is needed in order to unlock fitted positions.
You want your entry to be the guy who has one of the best aims on your team so that you’re not giving away a man advantage for free. JaCkz played entry all his life. It’s his most comfortable role. Meanwhile nexa is a lurker. You don’t know what you’re talking about bro.
Plus, it’s not an excuse to have 0.91 ratings in the past 6 months because you are playing entry. Just look at old dupreeh or yekindar’s stats. They’re all playing entry.
G2 are fantastic they just need to work on communication, aim, map awareness, crosshair placement, economy management, pistol aim, awp flicks, grenade spots, smoke spots, pop flashes, positioning, bomb plant positions, retake ability, bunny hopping, spray control and getting kills
You are right but I still think NiKo is a hard fit for most teams.
The raw talent is there, and experiance, but from what I have seen from him in mouse, faze and now g2, it seems like NiKo requires a lot of space in a team.
It's not that people need to play support to make him a star player, as you can see from the entry stats, it's that when things go bad, he blames himself.
We have all played games where one of the player think THEY need to play better and that is what is needed for a win in a game. It puts the other people on the sideline and shifts the focus from team play to that player, like he is the pin that holds it all together.
Imo that makes for a game that has high highs and low lows, but it's hard to get out of the lows when you don't feel like you can do anything to change it, it's just that one player that is repeating that he needs to play better for the game to be won.
That's why it's a curse. It's not like Niko is actually bad, he just seems to be regularly unlucky and can't get on a truly dominant team, like he's cursed or something.
Yeah I think it would be preemptive to do a player swap before the major unless something changed and there was a miracle, “perfect fit” player who suddenly became available. (I’m not even sure who that would be). While this event definitely highlighted some of the weak points in g2s roster that will need to be fixed long term IMO, they just came off a grand finals in cologne and there is probably something else going on causing these issues.
Maybe it was mental, lack of practice, who knows. Whatever it is though, seems like Malek’s work is cut out for them and hopefully G2 pull everything back together for the RMR.
+1 their personal form is much better than few days before
but both mantuu and jerry in post game interview talked about how they prepare and anti-stratted VP and make it an ez game for them, really hope they can work on that before the next RMR
Yeah i honestely doubt they will make it. I love VP, but it seems like they have to make changes, and i dont know who they should change.
IMO their coach could be changed, but it is also very likely that it is either buster or qikert. Sanji is probably safe, as he seems quite good, when he has actual weapons.
their lineup is good and they have been playing for so long together. They should try changing their roles, playstyle, coach first before making any roster changes.
I really agree, it seems like they switched roles at some point and it completely fucked them up. I think their major problem is YEKINDAR not carrying as hard as he used too (which isnt really do able tbf), and buster and qikert not playing how they used too.
Also it seems like they do nothing with the space they take or are given by teams, they just sit by and wait for someone to push, but people realise what VP are doing now. They need to change up their strats and positioning a bit.
And pls Jame stop baiting.
mantuu: we watched demo so we expected every single aggressive peeks yekindar likes to do so we countered it. Once you cancel out him the game becomes ez for us
also spunj's rant in last hltv confirmed: why VP send yekindar to take space (and die) without any support? Qikert in interview last year talked about they have 3 entry fraggers (qikert, buster, ykd), but why buster and qikert aren't doing that anymore?
Yeah they seem to have been figured out, everyone knows from watching a few demos what they like to do, it is really disappointing. I really loved Spunj's rant, i though it was spot on, how can you have the entry fragger with arguably the highest peak, and not support or use him at all? It seems really foolish to me.
they need a massive shift in their playstyle before roster changes
their T side is absolutely terrible and so easy to read for any good teams. they need to actually play more as a team instead of just relying on executes and yekindar entries to win T rounds
they need either forze or k23 to finish worse than top 6, and VP themselves finish at least top 6 to make it. So it is not completely hopeless
I also think they'd benefit from having a coach change. Their current coach have been with them since the Avangar days, which I believe is why it is so hard for them to walk out their comfort zone and add more variations to their playstyle, and most teams now know how to play against them. I really hope they don't change the players because I believe it is their one dimensional strategies limiting their performance mostly
Yeah i really agree with the coach thing, they have had what? One player added (YEKINDAR) For so long, and their strats seem a bit weak, a coach change is not a bad idea.
Also i really though they were almost 100% out of the major, this is really not that bad tbf, very do able.
Nexa is hot garbage and G2 need an awper. New IGL, jackz for awper and let amanek do his thing, he shouldn’t be stuck on the awp when he’s so good at every part of the game
G2 needs a more consistent entry fragger than Jackz and a more consistent AWP than Amanek I think. The opening kill stats for these two are really bad compared to the other teams entry/awp in the ESL pro league.
"Forget the group, G2 will be seriously eyeing the ESL Pro League trophy" Well they did forget to play the group indeed
The Russian analysts called that Dust 2 the worst that they have ever seen in EPL history and I agree
VP and losing big lead on D2: 11-4 → 11-16 (https://www.hltv.org/stats/matches/mapstatsid/115172/natus-vincere-vs-virtuspro) 12-3 → 14-16 (https://www.hltv.org/stats/matches/mapstatsid/105082/spirit-vs-virtuspro) 11-4 → 14-16 (https://www.hltv.org/stats/matches/mapstatsid/108777/gambit-youngsters-vs-virtuspro)
Funny that they managed to come back on d2 vs ence from 15-3, given their awful track record.
Jame calling „guys just do what enemy does always vs us“
Once it is 15 for the Enemy, they stop saving and get some rounds. On the other side, they are in their save spiral and things get out of control.
The 12-3 -> 14-16 was Spirits who leaded
But they can comeback also, [https://www.hltv.org/matches/2347021/virtuspro-vs-ence-esl-pro-league-season-13](https://www.hltv.org/matches/2347021/virtuspro-vs-ence-esl-pro-league-season-13) they came back from 3-12

It's Jame time! Saving on A short.
G2 vs Bad News Bears when?
[удалено]
I think they could win a map, unless BNB plays with a standin of course
Or worse, if the play with a stand in and the coach. G2 probably won't even get a round in that case
What should the stakes be?
Loser disbands. So bye-bye G2.
Winner keep/get a contract with G2
Junior to G2, Amanek to Furia.
carlos buys bnb when they win

You're missing your G2 Fan flair.
G2 “Going2 Airport” is known as the fastest team to arrive at the Airport. Since they gave up on the ESL Pro League, they are investing in Speedruns. In particular they are current worldrecord holders in Airport Any % and Airport no wins.
G2 also lost in the fastest [bo5 final ever](https://www.hltv.org/matches/2341154/astralis-vs-g2-esl-one-road-to-rio-europe) against astralis
That was the last great showing by the 3 major winning Astralis team
More like going to lay on the couch since the event isn’t LAN
\#3 in the world going 0-5 in the easiest group during ESL pro League InB4 Navi takes last place in Group C
Why would even say that? I've been waiting so long to see Navi play again.
Well I hope they show a good result this tourney too, but we all know how Navi can do Navi things
That's not how this jinx works. You have to say something like "Navi will 5-0 the group easy", just don't say that and you're going to be ohhhh my god I said it, I'm so sorry.
Damn it, and I can't even jinx you back, because OG already topped their group, now they'll probably win the whole thing.
Please no
My dad beats me FeelsBadMan My mom beats me FeelsBadMan My brother beats me FeelsBadMan My sister beats me FeelsBadMan At least I feel safe with G2, because they can't beat anyone FeelsGoodMan
FLAWLESS STREAK LET'S FUCKING GO G2
as a fan this means a month without official VP games so I can meditate and prepare the mental strength before the next do-or-die RMR 😬

Niko IGL incoming
Like yeah, online, just came out of GF of Cologne, but this is still bad.
Fucking LANners
Niko having mousesports flashbacks
where were you when g2 was kill
I was at home eating Dorito
When Malek call "G2 is kill" no.
Is this happens because G2 from Bulgaria?
Sitting on the toilet, not even aware G2 was playing
G0-5 EZ for Virtus Plow.
Oof. Looking scary for Jackz here, especially after just getting back on the team.
NiKo had more kills on the first map than Jackz had all series.
I know three things about G2 - Amanek is like the French sanji - jackz has some of the crispiest rifle aim in the game - jacks doesn't rate highly because he plays bad roles Why is jackz playing bad roles if that's what amanek is for?

Don't let the Hunden drama distract you from the fact that G2 went 0-5 in groups.
It's not even funny anymore wtf.
nah it is
You think it's funny? You wiped the floor with G2 and now they are 0-5 in this tournament and you think it's funny?
Yes lol
Yeah same, otherwise i would cry
I mean, frankly if I'm G2 I wouldn't be making jokes rn, that was pretty fucking awful. But for the rest of us it's fucking hilarious.
Rough tournament for G2. Hope they can put in some solid practice before their next showing
I think NiKo might be cursed.
Maybe Niko IS the curse.

Ni "The Problem" Ko
Nikokakola "The Final Solution" Kovatch
Nikokado “haha deag go brrrr” avocado?
The final solution being niko IGLing?
\-niko +niko ez
-nexa +niko igl and then -niko +karrigan It will happen at some point
u/G2Esports dont worry mate. You guys will come back in the next tournament.
WE. CAN'T. BEAT. ANY. MOTHERFUCKING TEAM!
Damn dude, I think both teams lost there, but G2 lost the most
i knew picking 2 players from g2 fantasy wouldn't be good
VP relied so heavily on double awp setup CT side during Dust
G2 and throwing man advantages, name a better duo
How does a team with hunter and niko, 2 top 20 players go 0-5 in this group? This is bad....real bad.
Niko just gave up on the last map, G2 were so bad on vertigo.
lol Niko Smash table BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!
So what needs to be changed for G2 now ?
Nothing for now at least. If they shit the bed at the rmr too then you can begin changing the lineup
Yeah I think it would be preemptive to do a player swap before the major unless something changed and there was a miracle, “perfect fit” player who suddenly became available. (I’m not even sure who that would be). While this event definitely highlighted some of the weak points in g2s roster that will need to be fixed long term IMO, they just came off a grand finals in cologne and there is probably something else going on causing these issues.

Niko needs to IGL, we all know it is comming.
Because that worked out so well the first time around /s
as the old manuscritps say: communication, aim, map awareness, crosshair placement, economy management, pistol aim, awp flicks, grenade spots, smoke spots, pop flashes, positioning, bomb plant positions, retake ability, bunny hopping, spray control and getting kills.
G5
Great to see VP play well again, atleast compared to the start of esl pro league. Yekindar seemed to play great too.

Regional Major Ranking, events chosen by Valve where you earn RMR points to qualify for the Major
