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

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...

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 )

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

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.

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

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

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.

Dont get me wrong i do think G2 is a very strong contender, but they have literally played ONE bo3. and i know it isnt their fault because of this whack ass schedule but still

I mean you can think what you want about region strength, but personally I think the top american teams are the best
