G2 Esports, one of the top League of Legends teams, faced a crushing defeat in the Worlds Knockout stage against NRG. The loss came as a shock to fans, analysts, and the G2 team themselves. Despite their confidence going into the match, G2 was unable to secure a victory.
In an interview with Korizon Esports, G2’s bot laner, Hans Sama, expressed his disappointment and described the loss as “pretty shocking.” He acknowledged that something felt off during the series and that crucial plays were being missed. However, without reviewing the VODs, he couldn’t pinpoint the exact reasons for their defeat.
Hans Sama praised NRG for catching them off guard with their unconventional picks and commended their performance. NRG, a team with rookie players, surprised everyone by dominating the series with strong team fights and map pressure.
When asked if it was just an off-day for G2 or if NRG had reached “god mode,” Hans Sama admitted that it was a combination of both. He believed that G2 had a chance to win the second game but acknowledged that they were not precise enough and made mistakes that cost them the victory.
Now, G2 finds themselves in a do-or-die situation in the 2-2 elimination round of the Swiss Stage. They will face BLG, the third-place team from the LPL Summer playoffs. Both teams will be fighting for survival, as a spot in the quarter-finals is within reach.
Overall, G2’s loss to NRG was unexpected and disappointing. The team will need to regroup, analyze their mistakes, and come back stronger in their upcoming match against BLG. The pressure is on, and G2 must give their all to stay in the competition.
