G2 Esports

The organisation decided to listen to the voices of the community and made two desired picks. HooXi and nexa left the team, and malbsMd from M80 and Snax from GamerLegion were invited to take their places. The community is ambivalent about the changes in G2 Esports, but the organisation is more important than that - will they be able to win tournaments like they did with HooXi?

If you look at it from a statistical perspective, nexa and HooXi weren't pulling their weight in terms of shooting compared to the star trio of m0NeSY/NiKo/huNter. Now malbsMd has come in, charged specifically with quality shooting. Now if NiKo or huNter are having a bad game, G2 Esports has quality insurance. Snax, though not young, is also noticeably superior to HooXi statistically. The Pole has another advantage - he doesn't get nervous in clutches. In GamerLegion, Snax had plenty of opportunities to prove himself, and he usually took advantage of them. Again, Polish TaZ and Snax can understand each other well when preparing for matches, they have roughly the same vision of the game. In the "golden lineup" of Virtus.pro, this pair won many titles, they know how to negotiate skilfully if there is no Mercedes on the line. No one cancelled the m0NESY factor. Ilya fights for the title of top-1 player in the world, shows great stats, takes out the toughest oppositions in solo. What to say, if at the recent IEM Dallas 2024 the sniper became the MVP, and at the Major he lacked a couple of rounds to play in the Grand Final. In the first half of 2024, m0NESY hasn't felt much help from his teammates, and it's likely that he'll have it a little easier now.

G2 Esports under HooXi has been winning tournaments. New player transfers will be judged through the lens of titles, not personal stats. On paper, Samurai has what it takes to reach the grand finals. How will it be in practice? We will see the lineup for the first time at Esports World Cup 2024, and after the series with The MongolZ we can already draw conclusions.

The MongolZ

The MongolZ shocked the public with their strongest performance in recent tournaments. From the Majors, where The MongolZ took 15th-16th place but fought the crowds on equal terms, to Yalla Compass 2024, where Astralis and Heroic fell from the Mongols, no one believed in such success from the blitZ team. But The MongolZ has been fortunate to have new talent that can step up to the dash-1 level and continue to develop. Now The MongolZ line-up is among the youngest in the top 20 of HLTV.

HLTV is 25 points away from the tenth place in the leaderboard. That's about one or two victories over the greats. The MongolZ is not afraid of meetings with top opponents. The performance at ESL Pro League Season 19 was indicative, within the tournament the Mongols beat Team Falcons, G2 Esports, and were very close to reaching the quarter-finals, but Virtus.pro cambecked an unbelievable gap. The team used to have manpower issues, but nowadays they have players who can shoot. 910 is good with AWPs, Senzu and blitZ are aggressive with assault rifles and are racking up good numbers.

The MongolZ's key problem is game practice. The guys went on holiday on time, but they didn't come back from it in decent shape. Just before the Esports World Cup 2024, the team played at the Asian qualifiers for the BLAST Fall Showdown, lost to little-known Chinese teams, and didn't make the playoffs. It's worth remembering that in the first half of 2024, the Mongols played wherever they were offered, and due to that they gained crazy form. Now the initial situation is different, and how it will be reflected in the match with G2 Esports is still unknown.

Expert Betting Tips

On one side is the revitalised G2 Esports, who have only dominated FACEIT so far. On the other side The MongolZ without proper practice in the last month. In terms of class, the Europeans look more stable, but the Asians have already surprised their vis-a-vis once. We will believe in G2 Esports, but very cautiously.
