They are 100% the favourites to win bangkok and if they dont, I dont think G2 will ever win an international event trophy.
They are the PRX of last year I think
idkmanwth [#2]is g2 bangkok hype the same as prx shanghai? (not saying g2 will meet the same fate prx did at shanghai)
yes
bE [#4]wouldn't EDG be the favourites to win bangkok? they've already proved themselves
EDG look shakey and beatable. G2 look good asf with jawg
ArterieX [#7]32 rounds
it was impressive but trace looked like they could take the GF from them if it wasnt for a nobody god game. so def beatable, G2 havent shown anything bad yet. I would find it hard pressed if you dont currently rate G2 higher

EDG played 6 games and G2 played 1 there can be no comparisons you make more mistakes when u play more , EDG lost to trace who are a formidable team but G2 won against C9 (mid 6 team )
Shadow_Monarch [#13]I will laugh if G2 loses to LEV, seriously.
If prime Demon1 shows up, it's an easy 2-0.
If NRG demon1 shows up and bot frags, and they still lose, it would be laughable.

Dawg they got 3-1. It wasn't close

EDG just did not look that good against any of those matches tho. They looked mid against nova, got slammed by TE, Almost lost to XLG, DRG looked so shit, Played pretty well against billibilli and played an extremely close series with trace. Nothing looked clean, even against the mid table teams
grisx23 [#18]Dawg they got 3-1. It wasn't close
Dawg there was like 3 overtimes in 3 maps wdym it wasnt close, EDG's igl had to go like 37-17 to scrap a win on abyss
Shadow_Monarch [#13]I will laugh if G2 loses to LEV, seriously.
I heavily doubt it, but if they do laugh at me all you want

brother the only team they’ve went against is c9

edg played a whole tournament and g2 has played a bo3 against cloud 9 tho
michaelisupset [#23]brother the only team they’ve went against is c9
theyve been playing since the offseason, and theyve looked good there, and against c9. They overall also played a very clean game of valorant and minmax a ton of shit in the first match in kickoff.
RzqoFoxie [#10]EDG looked incredibly weak
they have the only 13-0 of the whole kickoff, and they did it twice how are they weak
koromast [#24]edg played a whole tournament and g2 has played a bo3 against cloud 9 tho
I would argue G2's 1 game was more impressive than any single game EDG played in kickoff. I can totally see EDG going into bangkok and showing prime performance on every single player, but I see an equal oppurtunity for them to just be mid, like in this kickoff
idkmanwth [#2]is g2 bangkok hype the same as prx shanghai? (not saying g2 will meet the same fate prx did at shanghai)
wait holy shit i forgot prx were considered huge favorites to win shanghai and then they just got bounced by 100pigs
BEHEMOTH [#16]G2 is good but they ain't winning shvit aside slamming all Americas teams to the ground.
I mean you can think what you want about region strength, but personally I think the top american teams are the best

the 2 13-0´s didnt impress you?
sideshowsbaldhead [#28]wait holy shit i forgot prx were considered huge favorites to win shanghai and then they just got bounced by 100pigs
people gave up on them after they got dogwalked by icy
koromast [#30]the 2 13-0´s didnt impress you?
not really, the other two teams, especially, especially DRG looked horrid. and EDG still had plenty of holes imo, that xlg or drg didnt exploit. Did you see some of EDG's antiecos?

edg definitely didnt play flawlessly but i wouldnt say they looked shaky or anything, specially because chinese teams have a shit ton of great ecos and micro plays i think you understimating xlg and drg bro they aint bottom feeders or anything, specially xlg who got viva lately

Im really sorry bro, but I just cant get behind drg being any sort of a good team besides talent. their approach to the game is so so bad. XLG I agree looked pretty good, but then again XLG almost beat EDG if it wasnt for KK showing up and just farming
NerfMaxima [#29]I mean you can think what you want about region strength, but personally I think the top american teams are the best
There are no top teams in Americvck lmao
We already saw all of them play
sideshowsbaldhead [#28]wait holy shit i forgot prx were considered huge favorites to win shanghai and then they just got bounced by 100pigs
shanghai favs- prx, downfall started by g2
bangkok favs- g2, imagine if prx qualify and do g2 the same favour, shit would be absolute cinema
idkmanwth [#2]is g2 bangkok hype the same as prx shanghai? (not saying g2 will meet the same fate prx did at shanghai)
i sure hope not
g2 have won 1 series so far in kickoff. 1 match and it was vs c9 who are already eliminated
prx going into shanghai had a huge win streak of matches including wins over drx, gen.g and t1
i like g2 and i think they're great but people need to calm down and let them play first...
koromast [#26]they have the only 13-0 of the whole kickoff, and they did it twice how are they weak
That's quite a dumb excuse.
