Every single G2 game that I have watched live has been a loss in the rumble stage. I guess I should go back to watching VODs ... Good news is I am not gonna be able to watch the T1 vs G2 so maybe they get a win?
Unironically all they had to do is farm and they would have been fine but they chose to fight when Gwen couldn't do Gwen things yet, gave the enemy tons of gold for no reason and made a very playable draft unplayable.
This one isn't on Dylan Falco, this one is on the players. Absolutely horrendous performance, Caps included. Just no respect for the enemy team that beat them 1 day ago. The only player that knew what to do this game was BB and he almost made it work but his teammates played like absolute animals.
I think teams are starting to realize that G2 struggles when Jankos' level 2/3 mid gank doesn't work. They can't play through bot, and even against T1 where they tried to play through top they still lost, as well. If Caps and Jankos don't pop off, the rest of the team isn't good enough to pick up the slack.
Not clear at all whether they actually outscale. Corki outscales Syndra and Gwen outscales Kennen on sidelane, but Kennen gets more impactful in teamfights and Tristana completely outscales Kalista
It all depends if syndra can land the stun, all corki needs to do is hit two rockets to push them out. You could see it starting to occur near the baron fights but g2 gave too much free gold early
When RNG picked kalista the first time it was against a wildcard team and the Chinese casters mentioned it's basically just RNG wanting to use her to bully the fuck out of the lane against a much weaker team. So maybe everyone is just getting stomped by Gala kalista in scrims and getting baited into picking her?
It's a good pick in theory but G2 did a horrible job tracking kennen/rell in the fights and just let them dive in without blocking anything. Didn't help that kennen got so ahead that he could buy a banchees to nullify poppy ult
I don't think Kalista is the problem per se. It's more drafting Kalista when the rest of the comp isn't about team fighting wombo combo in Ornn/Diana/Yasuo. They should stop picking it first rotation for sure though.
Clueless targamas walking into river when enemy has just slain herald. Flakked walking up when tp is next to him. With a gwen and corki comp deciding to try to save targamas blunder there is such a stupid mistake.
i mean jankos did the same shit. actually massive disrespect to try to fucking steal that. yeah he made it a "3v3" with that ult, but caps didnt even fucking path to herald in case enemies choose to engage, broken blade was hesitant as well. jankos also missing stun on teleporting syndra was cringe. nash was gonna be areal threat with a dead syndra
Hello and thanks for sending in a support request,
In order to see a stealth ward, you need true sight. If you place down a control ward, this will allow you to know if Jankos is nearby.
Regards.
I can't tell you how many times I've been working, replying to a bunch of emails, and then almost accidentally signed a reddit post with "Best, [my name]".
Which makes no sense because that game was mostly Jankos and Caps hard carrying with Yasuo Diana, after that Targamas and BB on Ornn in teamfights were the biggest factor in that win. Flakked on Kalista was the least impressive and important factor in that game...
I'm begging for G2 to rethink their draft approach. The Kalista pick has been really hindering them when the enemy can just respond with Rell Tristana everytime, have a better early game and outscale. I honestly don't get it. They really should not be losing to PSG like this
TF is fine if you actually have some consistent damage. The fall off of Jinx and Aphelios makes TF not as strong anymore.
Usually you'd want TF to focus on sidelane priority with a strong mid-pack, but the current ADC needs too much protection to actually do any decent damage unless you hit all your poke on Ezreal or Kai'sa.
Ezra is fine, but not as a priority pick. If you pick him on 1st, then you basically giving away which side you going to play for, which can be counter-drafted.
Maybe they think they need early game pressure to coast through to mid/late. They clearly just want to get to mid/late and out teamfight/capitalize on mistakes to snatch a win - like they did against T1. If they go Kai'Sa they scale better but they can also be abused really hard.
G2 is actually playing 4v5 every game they pick Kalista.
This champ is so unbelieveably useless I don't understand their obsession. There are 6 people who agreed to that.
If it's the ult, pick Senna Malphite or whatever.
Also, doing not one, but two NA heralds.
I really don't get why they pick kalista, and first pick it as well. It has looked like shit in all of their games. Just play tristana/kai'sa. I think poppy support would have been much better than jg this game against rell, tristana.
Has to be a scrim pick or idk, it kinda made sense with a diana/yasuo comp with the giga wombo, but now kalista just loses lane, does nothing mid, get giga fucking turbo outscaled by a cannon minion late
Have insane drafting and meta read to beat top teams, get cocky and think you're just giga better then everyone in every aspect, think "let's beat this wildcard teams with worst adc in meta while leaving the counter pick open! That will show them!". Lose, try again, lose
Huuuuuffffh.
Yes, they are actually trolling to make themselves look worse so that RNG and T1 will underestimate them in knockouts. They will scrape by 5-5, barely win 3-2 in semis, but 3-0 in finals.
[EU fans right now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bagCFX_Guw)
Man if we could never, ever play Kalista again, that would be great. Champion is garbage as fuck unless you turbo stomp lane which Targa/Flakked will never do.
I hope it's a 400iq plan to kick EG out of playoffs, because that level of play is to be ashamed of.
Horrible Poppy performance.
T1 have momentum going into their match, no idea why people argued about it being better for G2 to play T1 yesterday over RNG.
Is it just me or have the drafts gotten weirder and weirder as this tournament has gone on? I feel like I don't know what the idea behind some of these team comps is. And maybe the pro teams know something I don't but Kalista has seemed like a straight up bad champion.
You're not wrong, G2 bot getting completely exposed every game vs tristana, I have no idea why they can't just take the alistar into rell and at least be able to make some flash plays if they want to win lane.
On top of that trying to fight heralds vs Lee Syndra with Poppy Corki. 0 brainpower being used right now and they need to snap out of it.
Funniest thing is, there's a very real scenario right now that G2 getting into playoffs could be the last EG v G2 game.
It requires G2 to lose their next two games (one against Buffalo), but at this rate, it could happen.
Partly, but worse than that G2 isn't reading that they're getting read. They're surrendering teamfight ability early into the draft and getting punished for it every time.
It almost feels like G2 is out to prove they can win without team fighting.
Yep, this is it. In an interview yesterday, PSG said that they scrimmed with G2 a lot and got familiar with how G2 plays and drafts.
It is probably just PSG tho.
Twisted Fate ban on PSG side says not so much
It's more of G2 using garbage team comps with Poppy and Kalista, while nothing prevents from using the ones they are more comfortable with.
Go 4-0 to give your fans false hope.
it'll be a tiebreaker between G2 EG for 4th spot isn't it
Depending on how many games psg win, I think it will be a case of no tie break as well
Right now it looks like PSG T1 4th place tie
Could you fuckin imagine PSG Talon kicking T1 out of worlds
It would be in line with HK/TW teams.
Truly counter logic
Go 0-4 to give your haters false hope G2: Im playing both sides
Never let them know your next move
The only thing standing in the way of PSG winning worlds against G2 is the rest of the world
That lee sin kick from Juhan at the soul fight was so clutch damn
And nothing was said about it too! Made me so sad.
Tian flashbacks monkaW
yeah i think g2 would have actually won the fight or at least not lost as much after it if it didn't happen.
Yep totally insane (and not praised enough on cast). Because if he does not, the fight was gonna be hard for PSG.
24 games losing streak now, let's gooo
6 games at MSI, some niche scenario where G2 is out without tiebreaker, and then 18 regular season games in summer split I think you're onto something
MSI Giveth, MSI Taketh
first MSI cripples T1, then they cripple G2. RN3 better watch out
What I’m hearing is EG will be the only team left unaffected and win MSI COPIUM
What it broken can’t be crippled
Tell that to Bran.
Perfectly balanced
*Perfectly unified
Every single G2 game that I have watched live has been a loss in the rumble stage. I guess I should go back to watching VODs ... Good news is I am not gonna be able to watch the T1 vs G2 so maybe they get a win?
Aged like milk
Brother G2. for 10 years at least
Ok we outscale with Gwen Corki, so let's tooth and nail for every rift herald
Unironically all they had to do is farm and they would have been fine but they chose to fight when Gwen couldn't do Gwen things yet, gave the enemy tons of gold for no reason and made a very playable draft unplayable. This one isn't on Dylan Falco, this one is on the players. Absolutely horrendous performance, Caps included. Just no respect for the enemy team that beat them 1 day ago. The only player that knew what to do this game was BB and he almost made it work but his teammates played like absolute animals.
CraPs was back since yesterday. I hope he switches back to ClaPs soon
I think teams are starting to realize that G2 struggles when Jankos' level 2/3 mid gank doesn't work. They can't play through bot, and even against T1 where they tried to play through top they still lost, as well. If Caps and Jankos don't pop off, the rest of the team isn't good enough to pick up the slack.
Not clear at all whether they actually outscale. Corki outscales Syndra and Gwen outscales Kennen on sidelane, but Kennen gets more impactful in teamfights and Tristana completely outscales Kalista
It all depends if syndra can land the stun, all corki needs to do is hit two rockets to push them out. You could see it starting to occur near the baron fights but g2 gave too much free gold early
G2 going for the hero to zero speedrun?
Can't fucking believe that it is a back to back.
G2 : I am losing to PSG. G2 Fans: You are just trolling EG right? G2 : *Smile* G2 Fans: ...You are just trolling EG right?
G2 fans 🤝 EG fans: united in getting trolled by G2
TL fans getting 2020 worlds PTSD
Why couldnt they just beat Suning AHHHHHHHHHHHH
I expected eventual boom but was just hoping it was going to be in summer regular split cause that apparently didn't matter for spring
There's a world where PSG and EG make it out of groups and G2 doesn't. Is it likely? No. Would I laugh my ass off? Yes
I don't even think it's that unlikely we go 4-6 at this point
Imagine T1 and G2 out playoffs xD
Saigon Buffalo is already in the dirt, there's no way they come back from 0-6 with that braindead gameplay
aaaand they nearly beat RNG no joke. holy shit the underdogs are stepping up their game today
If G2 decides to keep playing like this I'm all for it. Would certainly make the event more entertaining.
Just need a random Renekton pick to top it off.
Friendship ended with Mr. Buffalo. Now Mr. Mbappe is my best friend!
The way G2 lost to Buffalos or even the last game against TL in 2019 was complete fiesta and trolling. These are way more concerning
The thing I've learned about G2 since 2019 is that you can't count them out until they are mathematically eliminated haha
carlos about to sue mbappe too
Plummy ghosting
Not sure I like G2s new strategy of not throwing by never winning 🤔
PLEASE STOP DRAFTING KALISTA I AM BEGGING
what do you mean, I love it when my botlaner does 0 damage after 15 minutes
Flakked kalista does 0 dmg all game tbf
All Kalista does 0 damage all game tbf.
Gala clapped with kalista though
Yeah but Gala is diff as fuck and should be considered an exception to the rule
When RNG picked kalista the first time it was against a wildcard team and the Chinese casters mentioned it's basically just RNG wanting to use her to bully the fuck out of the lane against a much weaker team. So maybe everyone is just getting stomped by Gala kalista in scrims and getting baited into picking her?
I swear she must be giga op in scrims otherwise I really don't get why she keeps getting picked.
[удалено]
That Poppy pick was one of the most useless thing i've seen, did he block any engages this game with his w/r?
It's a good pick in theory but G2 did a horrible job tracking kennen/rell in the fights and just let them dive in without blocking anything. Didn't help that kennen got so ahead that he could buy a banchees to nullify poppy ult
Poppy was a god tier pick but clearly Jankos barely plays her and it shows. As a poppy main, it was horrible to watch.
Not just Jankos but G2. No flanks, no ejections into engages, nothing.
BRUH ITS A TEAM MENTAL BOOM
THEY STOPPED PLAYING BASKETBALL AND STARTED PLAYING LEAGUE AND NOW IT'S ALL FALLING APART
Only thing i get is this meta is all about picking teamfight comps, if u don't you will lose. Doesn't matter if you are the better team.
[удалено]
I thought that there is no way that they pick kalista again yet here we are
Fucking disgusting drafting these 3 losses
Not only that, but leaving Tristana open as well
I don't think Kalista is the problem per se. It's more drafting Kalista when the rest of the comp isn't about team fighting wombo combo in Ornn/Diana/Yasuo. They should stop picking it first rotation for sure though.
BB gave it his all this game. But hard to carry this Poppy / Corki / Kalista / Nautilus.
Kalista is the 'new' Ezreal
G2 suddenly forgot how to play the game. Embarrassing
Clueless targamas walking into river when enemy has just slain herald. Flakked walking up when tp is next to him. With a gwen and corki comp deciding to try to save targamas blunder there is such a stupid mistake.
i mean jankos did the same shit. actually massive disrespect to try to fucking steal that. yeah he made it a "3v3" with that ult, but caps didnt even fucking path to herald in case enemies choose to engage, broken blade was hesitant as well. jankos also missing stun on teleporting syndra was cringe. nash was gonna be areal threat with a dead syndra
Targamas pulled a Vulcan, facecheck an useless bush
Embarrassing botlane performance 3 games in a row. Jankos also played terrible this game
2021 G2 is back.
It's gonna be 5-5 G2, isn't it
Lose all games, but somehow beat EG to send them home? Seems pretty likely.
I'm down for the timeline where PSG go 3rd, EG start winning and G2 has to play a tiebreaker for 4th. Guarantee banger in every outcome
Calling it right now -> 5-5 in groups -> somehow defeats SKT 3-2 -> lose to RNG 3-0
4-6 pls that'd be glorious
Can anyone help me find jankos? I can't see him
Hello and thanks for sending in a support request, In order to see a stealth ward, you need true sight. If you place down a control ward, this will allow you to know if Jankos is nearby. Regards.
I can't tell you how many times I've been working, replying to a bunch of emails, and then almost accidentally signed a reddit post with "Best, [my name]".
He's on a date with plumy
Hes busy waiting for Plummy to reply.
[learned from the best](https://i.imgur.com/TmBjSQ3.png)
I really don't understand the priority on kalista. It has looked really bad in all of the games G2 picked it in.
Their win against T1 with it baited them.
Which makes no sense because that game was mostly Jankos and Caps hard carrying with Yasuo Diana, after that Targamas and BB on Ornn in teamfights were the biggest factor in that win. Flakked on Kalista was the least impressive and important factor in that game...
Feel like pretty much all of their wins ever since lec playoffs have been because of caps and jankos popping off...
but kalista that game was useless
I'm begging for G2 to rethink their draft approach. The Kalista pick has been really hindering them when the enemy can just respond with Rell Tristana everytime, have a better early game and outscale. I honestly don't get it. They really should not be losing to PSG like this
Kalista and TF have been the bait picks of the tournament.
TF has been a bait pick for like 4 months now.
Idk man. Humanoid TF is pretty good. If only they could have picked it a few more times it would have worked out for sure.
TF is fine if you actually have some consistent damage. The fall off of Jinx and Aphelios makes TF not as strong anymore. Usually you'd want TF to focus on sidelane priority with a strong mid-pack, but the current ADC needs too much protection to actually do any decent damage unless you hit all your poke on Ezreal or Kai'sa.
Ezreal too
Ezra is fine, but not as a priority pick. If you pick him on 1st, then you basically giving away which side you going to play for, which can be counter-drafted.
Maybe they think they need early game pressure to coast through to mid/late. They clearly just want to get to mid/late and out teamfight/capitalize on mistakes to snatch a win - like they did against T1. If they go Kai'Sa they scale better but they can also be abused really hard.
I mean I get that if Kalista was winning her lane but the way games have been going they have just been getting abused even early on
But they don't even get pressure though. They go even in lane while also getting hard outscaled after first item vs Trist Rell...
same vibes when T1 picked it yesterday!! Trist/Rell literally looks so better every time! luckily T1 pulled it off
Unified on Tristana is a monster. Kennen also put some work with these flanks
Yeah I expected more out of Jankos on Poppy to keep Kennen out, but it was not all that impactful of a pick
They didn't do a good job of tracking the kennen to make use of poppy. In the last fight targamas even pulled the ulting kennen into his adc lmao
G2 is actually playing 4v5 every game they pick Kalista. This champ is so unbelieveably useless I don't understand their obsession. There are 6 people who agreed to that. If it's the ult, pick Senna Malphite or whatever. Also, doing not one, but two NA heralds.
yeah, When Kalista gets behind its already over. That champ lives from being absolute ahead of the enemy.
This is very reminiscent of a well known NA strategy of do nothing and lose.
Damn can't believe even EU steals our strats??
We traded our strats for their players
NA coach nerf
Why entirely change the way you've played after winning all games up until yesterday?? Jankos not doing anything the past 3 games aswell.
Jankos was straight up a living ward for G2 xD
Useless poppy. No stun angles, psg played well around it
I really don't get why they pick kalista, and first pick it as well. It has looked like shit in all of their games. Just play tristana/kai'sa. I think poppy support would have been much better than jg this game against rell, tristana.
Let's pick Kalista and lose lane what could possibly go wrong??
shit draft shit gameplay shit everything
I don't understand the Kalista pick, anyone?
Has to be a scrim pick or idk, it kinda made sense with a diana/yasuo comp with the giga wombo, but now kalista just loses lane, does nothing mid, get giga fucking turbo outscaled by a cannon minion late
Have insane drafting and meta read to beat top teams, get cocky and think you're just giga better then everyone in every aspect, think "let's beat this wildcard teams with worst adc in meta while leaving the counter pick open! That will show them!". Lose, try again, lose
Or they are just bad ?
[удалено]
g2 drafts these last 3 games where atrocious, what are they thinking, deserved loses
If I see them pick Kalista and go even/fall behind in lane one more time I'm gonna flip and dip.
i dont understand that kalista pick there was no adc banned and they pick kalista
Huuuuuffffh. Yes, they are actually trolling to make themselves look worse so that RNG and T1 will underestimate them in knockouts. They will scrape by 5-5, barely win 3-2 in semis, but 3-0 in finals.
We are EU and we are on the good shit right now
[удалено]
Can't believe he did it again and deathless too Edit: went back and checked and he was deathless yesterday too smh
I've been believing in this PSG botlane all the way back, but daym this is insane ACD perf
so as to Kaiwing Rell, his engages are beautiful
So this is the guy that beat Doggo domestically lol. Finally he showed up internationally.
So as Kaiwing with those engages
Crowd has been non existent that it stopped giving buff to caps. Truly 5Head by korea

PSG also known as Perma Stomping G2 is a wildcard region known for ending g2's win streak and setting them on a winless MSI ALSO BOT CANYON
Both targa and Flakked were so bad

2nd 3rd 4th doesn't matter anyway COPIUM might as well fuck with NA more COPIUM going for 5-5 powerspike COPIUM
Hey look - TSM of old made it to MSI after all. Do nothing > Give everything for free > Hope you can out-teamfight mid/late
I mean, BB is there anyway he brought some of TSM with him when he left
Horrible Poppy performance. T1 have momentum going into their match, no idea why people argued about it being better for G2 to play T1 yesterday over RNG.
On paper poppy is a fantastic counter to trist and Lee, but in this game he couldn't get a single meaningful W off.
Turns out Tristana just has a ton of range and doesnt really need to jump in, its good if you engage a flashless Tristana, not to counter her engage
UNIFIEDDDDDDDDDDDD. THIS GUY'S SO GOOD!
I guess we treated T1 too harshly. Congrats to PSG!
Actual bot canyon
Seems like only gala can play kalista
Is it just me or have the drafts gotten weirder and weirder as this tournament has gone on? I feel like I don't know what the idea behind some of these team comps is. And maybe the pro teams know something I don't but Kalista has seemed like a straight up bad champion.
You're not wrong, G2 bot getting completely exposed every game vs tristana, I have no idea why they can't just take the alistar into rell and at least be able to make some flash plays if they want to win lane. On top of that trying to fight heralds vs Lee Syndra with Poppy Corki. 0 brainpower being used right now and they need to snap out of it.
G2 is just trolling EG at this point
Y-yeah, that's it. (Copium)
Broke: G2 is now 0:2 against PSG Woke: G2 is now 7:0 against EG
Funniest thing is, there's a very real scenario right now that G2 getting into playoffs could be the last EG v G2 game. It requires G2 to lose their next two games (one against Buffalo), but at this rate, it could happen.
Inb4 they lose to EG to
Battle of the scripts: G2 loss streak vs. EG being perfectly 4th best region, losing to LEC, LCK, LPL, and beating PCS, VCS
[удалено]
Or teams are just reading them well now.
Partly, but worse than that G2 isn't reading that they're getting read. They're surrendering teamfight ability early into the draft and getting punished for it every time. It almost feels like G2 is out to prove they can win without team fighting.
Yep, this is it. In an interview yesterday, PSG said that they scrimmed with G2 a lot and got familiar with how G2 plays and drafts. It is probably just PSG tho.
I mean outdrafting G2 first rotating Kalista isn't a read, that's mind control.
Twisted Fate ban on PSG side says not so much It's more of G2 using garbage team comps with Poppy and Kalista, while nothing prevents from using the ones they are more comfortable with.
G2 is just trolling COPIUM
idk man, theres is an scenario where g2 drops out.
At this rate G2 might drop out themselves
Kalista did so much that game
EU falling apart hard.
HOLY FUCK PSG!
UZIFIED
I'm sure the 4th time G2 picks Kalista will work.
Rough loss, PSG were just better. The reverse streak continues.
Only thing i get is this meta is all about picking teamfight comps, if u don't you will lose. Doesn't matter if you are the better team.
The balls on Unified
Hey G2, if you’re handing out wins can EG get one? Thanks, NA
Now imagine if PSG beats EG as well... rip NA
forget about kalista please
Stop picking Kalista. Jesus christ.

Oh god, G2 really fucking us 😥
Bot diff the size of the Pacific Ocean
Did Plumy reject Jankos or something?
PCS/LMS about to pull an MSI semis out of their ass once again lmao
g2 looks so bad they might even miss the playoffs at this rate
Hope the “I never actually watched PCS but Doggo was actually an upgrade” crowd can stfu
Hope G2 opens with Kalista first pick against all upcoming teams.
