"Zywoo has completely dissapeard under pressure, 1 kill in OT" "they lost zywoo, where is he ?" how many times have we heard that this year (Dallas, Copenhague, ESL, Kato, Blast, EPL, ...) And then you have Niko played at his best, hurting himself and hardcarrying, being so emotionaly linked with the game. G2 won vs VIT without monesy showing up, thats all you need to know
Niko bro I forgive you for fumbling that ace, I had G2 win on Stake so im still very happy with your performance 😁 That 3v1 clutch was insane bro, in my opinion you are the GOAT of cs go right now. Blood on his hands, sweat, tears and he still clutch it up, respect.
Best performer when it matters. Every silvers was persuaded we gonna see another Navi vs VIT, especially after G2 terrible map 1 performance and monesy not showing up. But Niko just showed who is the king. Another Zywoo choking underpressure, completely invisible on dust 2 and getting 1 single kill in OT
@@hans4379 Problem is that he dissapear when it matters, he is known to choke under pressure, thats why VIT has lost dallas 5v3, or never won a real major. If it happend once, ok, sh&t happens. But Kato 22, kato 23, Rio 22, Antwerp, Copenhague, Dallas, EPL, ESL, Berlin, .... There is a clear pattern
If you ask who is the best player listen to fr silvers, circlejerkers or shit rankings, you got terrible answers. And then you have the reality, to see who is showing up under pressure when it matter the most.
@@NamTran-xc2ip You are a silver and should never comment on Cs ever again. Niko has been the reason G2 is a tier 1 team, they litteraly won Dallas playing 3v5 with Nexa and a washed up sub vs that same overrated french duo chokers
@@NamTran-xc2ip he’s probably the most consistent player of all time lol.his stats for every year are the same. And he’s been top 5, 6 times, tied for 2nd most appearances in top 20
NiKo was 0.5% far away from making highlight of the year. It made me confused whether he made impact inside the game or outside game by smashing the desk to the point it was cracked. NiKo Stockholm vibes with the game he had. Absurd!!!
Snax did all the heavy lifting in the tactical side. Last map you can just see how outbrained Apex was (or rather he was miscalling) while Snax just keep picking weak sites, finding gaps and have G2 play passive which made all the aggresive plays of Vitality useless. He did a bunch of clutch rounds as well, holding on with Malbs and Niko until Hunter and Mayonessy wakes up. Say what you want about Taz, but he keeps the energy in G2 calm and flowing. Always uplifting members whenever they feel like they messed up or that they're playing badly. I think everyone just chipped in enough to beat this very annoying team aka Vitality with enough individual performance and tactical brilliance. Whoever goes against them, I'm sure the game will be very entertaining.
NiKo has so much passion for this game and still people makes fun of him its just ridiculous, the guy may not have the best mental fortitude but still plays the game so well even despite being cursed. We may never get a rifler like NiKo if he retires, and people saying donk is the best donk has great aim but NiKo has displayed insane qualities not just the aim only.
What I have seen is in niko as compared to donk is his first bullet accuracy . While donk has a good spray control and is much more aggressive. Niko is much more calculated in his approach
@@_Stargazer_. also NiKo puts himself in a position that decides the outcome of the round he is so smart at the game probably on par with s1mple gamesense.
The aim between NiKo and donk is very similar, both clearly the top 2 riflers at the moment. What sets them apart is NiKo's gamesense is much, much better than donk's. Donk often plays very default, so when he plays against NiKo or JL he gets bested because they are just a bit smarter when they play. It also comes with time. donk will get better in that way.
I feel bad for malbs, he literally carried G2 that whole 3rd map but casters only wanted to talk about Zywoo, even though malbs was keeping up with him pretty much the whole map, and then suddenly it's all Niko. Give this man malbs some fucking credit holy shit
That almost 1v5 was one of the most gut wrenching thing i had ever witnessed. And still after that, literal blood, sweat n tears and the 1v3. Niko you are indeed the best rifler. Amazing match. G2 is the most entertaining team.
@@silentreactor97 have we been watching the same matches? He’s started 0-7 like every single time. And they don’t even look coordinated yet. I can remember multiple times he jumps around a corner with his knife out and the rest of his team doesn’t even swing to trade as if they didn’t even comm it
@@gonzaloselpaz6149 he has 3 positive rating matches in his last 29 games. He is garbage. They don’t even look coordinated yet. Lowest stats (.80) of any T1 igl including snappi… INCLUDING SNAPPI
Niko and malbsd were a deadly duo today. I am glad to see Snax fragging as well. Monesy had some struggles, but fortunately, today, his teammates got everything covered.
54:59 this was beautiful to watch live, even if he didn't win the round, it was still such an incredible thing hopefully they're able to win against FaZe/NaVi in grand finals Honestly, my favorite match of CS2 so far
This was it. This is what G2 can do. Snax awp made all the difference as well as his change in mentality to be more selfless. This was perfect example of less is more for snax.
Niko man . What a player.. he sat down donk and zywoo . There is nobody left. Hope he wins the major before leaving G2 . Btw , more than the almost-clutch on mirage .. his triple kill , crouching down mid in d2 .. whipping his gun around 180° with perfect accuracy , while some of the worlds best players got him sourrounded . That was more of an insane play to me. Also , what do you guys think of Snax anchoring A site on Anubis alone for multiple times in a row ? I mean he wasnt really shooting well until mirage. I wonder why he made such a bad call . G2 could have won Anubis too if they had anchored A site better.
That was such a fantastic series. Niko almost 1v5 and smashing the table. Malbs and Niko carried, while Monesy had a bad game. Zywoo is also such an amazing player. Snax finally woke up in this tournament. He was basically retired for a long time, so hopefully he continues to lose the rust
After several years, Niko played an exceptional match. He was absolutely incredible on all the maps. His reflexes were godlike. Although he's known for choking in key moments, I believe this was one of the best map performances I have ever seen. The final match will be between NaVi and G2. I hope NaVi wins this tournament, just like before. As a team, NaVi is stronger than G2. Their gameplay and teamwork are outstanding. However, if Niko performs as well as he did today, G2 might have a chance to win this tournament.
not everyone, actually people that know how game works and know how to play, we cheer for Snax, hes doing great job as 32 year old igl, his tt side % win is crazy, sometimes he will loose duel, ok whatever, thats not his job, hes taking pressure on himself and making plays, thats his job
Niko DAMN. Unbelievable player. But I wonder how on earth do Vitality players sleep at night knowing their career is gifted to them by Zywoo? Seriously without zywoo this team would be a top 10 team. Just from watching this game does anyone know spinx's hltv ranking in 2023? Contrast spinx to someone like ropz, or pre igl electronic. Both top 5 players, it's not even close. Like he still has issues with baiting and having very slow lurk timings, Natosaphix pointed it out a year ago and still if you watch the game you can see hes useless on t side on a lot of rounds. He's just "lurking" which is just baiting, because he isn't putting any pressure for the enemy team to care. He also doesn't switch up and play with more balls like any top 5 player does.
@@PritamDas-ts8cy 0.01 rating off of donk. Top 2 player this year. Litterally if the betboom tournaments dont come into count hes gonna get the top 1 and surpass s1mple hltv top 1 counts. Stop hating on him you look like a clown
@@Frog-2001 🤣🤣🤣you fanboy you literally made yourself a clown by commenting that. I never said he is a bad player it's just that you are overglazin him. Look how many important rounds flames and sphinx brought. you are literally not seeing that and glazing Zywoo.
That almost 1v5 ace clutch is the story of Niko. A legend of the game. Always among the top. Best rifler of all time. But just shies away from greatness(major). Still a GOAT none the less❤
NiKo felt the weight too much on his shoulders in the second map untill malbs started going nuclear,he gave NiKo enough confidence to play like the best player in the world mindset,,,,this guy single handedly scared the whole server ,zywOo tried to outmatch him but that just made him even better,,hands down the greatest Rifler in history
G2 and NaVi are two of my favourite teams, NaVi being my favourite since the CS 1.6 days. I'm so glad this organisation is still alive and excelling and G2 truly impressed me throughout each tournament but NaVi is going to be the real challenge for them, it's they kryptonite. But today, against Vitality they showed what a great team they can be (I did not expect G2 to win against Vitality but here we are). They overall were a better team than Vitality, and that was proven. Snax vs Aleksbi, b1t vs Malbs, NiKo vs jL, m0nesy vs w0nderful and hunter vs iM. I'm so happy to see both of these teams reach the final. Let the best team win! Hopefully, it will be an exciting grand final because today was an exciting day for CS! What great semi-finals we had today, jesus. I don't know if this grand final will be on the same level as NaVi vs Eternal Fire just recently but I hope it truly delivers an unforgettable grand final.
Greatest addition on G2 is malbs, because malbs like that, we get this niko. Just like rain on Faze back then, or so i thought. m0nesy should've been more aggresive/more passive there is not in between with current G2 style, cause snax is the anchor (most passive)
This match from Niko was something else, one of the best individual performances ever in cs history. Take in count Vitality is cracked with flameZ, Zywoo and Spinx but Niko is goated on lan.
I still don't understand why he wants to leave G2 for Falcons, like why he chose money over passion? This guy already quite popular in G2 and doing really good. Going to Falcons is a dead path.
m0nesy didn't play well, but I absolutely loved those games from NiKo and malbs, it didn't matter. Snax as well played great, especially on Mirage. That clutch for round 12 brought me right back to 2014 vs NaVI, it was one of the best moments of G2 since they got him, loved it. Then, soon after, we nearly got one of the greatest clutches ever in counter strike history from NiKo, followed by a desk slam that bloodied his hand and just turned him into a monster. What a fricking match!!
Watching this live was different. The crowd made this game even better. I don't care if G2 stumbles on a curb and faceplants onto concrete in the grand finals, THIS is the BEST series of the tournament.
I love how the fans are screaming at the top of their lungs. You can put it side to side with a football match and you couldn't be able to tell who is who. Great! It's always a good day when G2 wins!!! Props to monesy for the comeback and to NiKo, well, for being the GOAT
Niko is the GOAT, he is one of the most passionate about the game, but Malbs shouldnt be overlooked, he too is one of the best riflers in the current scene, unfortunately being overshadowed by Niko. Hoping for the best for G2
if NiKo ever decides to retire without having won a single Major at the very least, that will have to be one of the greatest injustices and tragedies not only of CS, of all esports i would venture to say. he absolutely deserves it
Wow, boy O boy, Love G2! Niko, that was insane! His rifling is just smooth as butter. Dude does a 1v3 so regularly that if you get anything less you are disappointed! If he is not the goat, he is top 3 for sure! This whole match up was fantastic. Excellent CS2! I was on the edge of my “seat” the whole time. Gg gents.😅

But today, against Vitality they showed what a great team they can be (I did not expect G2 to win against Vitality but here we are). They overall were a better team than Vitality, and that was proven. Snax vs Aleksbi, b1t vs Malbs, NiKo vs jL, m0nesy vs w0nderful and hunter vs iM. I'm so happy to see both of these teams reach the final. Let the best team win! Hopefully, it will be an exciting grand final because today was an exciting day for CS! What great semi-finals we had today, jesus. I don't know if this grand final will be on the same level as NaVi vs Eternal Fire just recently but I hope it truly delivers an unforgettable grand final.
Y'all don't lie, Malbs might actually be the best player in G2 currently. I can see why they can let go of NiKo bc Malbs is close to his level
Niko literally blood, sweat and tears into CS
Even that failed clutch from Niko is insane. Definitely 🐐
M0nezy had one of his worse games in awhile. But still looked better then 99 percent of the awpers in tier 1
Greatest addition on G2 is malbs, because malbs like that, we get this niko. Just like rain on Faze back then, or so i thought. m0nesy should've been more aggresive/more passive there is not in between with current G2 style, cause snax is the anchor (most passive)
Niko🐐🐐🐐
This match from Niko was something else, one of the best individual performances ever in cs history. Take in count Vitality is cracked with flameZ, Zywoo and Spinx but Niko is goated on lan.
I still don't understand why he wants to leave G2 for Falcons, like why he chose money over passion? This guy already quite popular in G2 and doing really good. Going to Falcons is a dead path.
Malbs is new aimstar in the house baby
m0nesy didn't play well, but I absolutely loved those games from NiKo and malbs, it didn't matter. Snax as well played great, especially on Mirage. That clutch for round 12 brought me right back to 2014 vs NaVI, it was one of the best moments of G2 since they got him, loved it. Then, soon after, we nearly got one of the greatest clutches ever in counter strike history from NiKo, followed by a desk slam that bloodied his hand and just turned him into a monster. What a fricking match!!
This match is absolute cinema. Props to Malbsd is absolute beast! He's hunger for a trophy. I hope he gets the attention he deserved.
niko show why is the rifler goat again
Niko played absolutely out of his mind. That clutch in the apartments. Everything is perfect.
Best match of 2024, you already know it won't be topped
55:00 Niko almost clutches 1v5 followed by a desk slam
What a fucking match, the amount of raw skill is unreal.
if niko actually made that 1v5 thats the greatest clutch in go/cs2 history.
Bad luck in that clutch. But he was lucky the table broke instead of his hand.
Niko was awesome, Malbs and Monesy too but don't forget that Zywoo is playing at this level each game he has.
Watching this live was different. The crowd made this game even better. I don't care if G2 stumbles on a curb and faceplants onto concrete in the grand finals, THIS is the BEST series of the tournament.
I love how the fans are screaming at the top of their lungs. You can put it side to side with a football match and you couldn't be able to tell who is who. Great! It's always a good day when G2 wins!!! Props to monesy for the comeback and to NiKo, well, for being the GOAT
Niko is the GOAT, he is one of the most passionate about the game, but Malbs shouldnt be overlooked, he too is one of the best riflers in the current scene, unfortunately being overshadowed by Niko. Hoping for the best for G2
Niko you really got an Ace,4 people and 1 table.
snax just awping like a beast aswell, had some great rounds on mirage
niko smashed VIT and the table at the same time
Let's give credit to SNAX and MALBSMD, they have an big impact
if NiKo ever decides to retire without having won a single Major at the very least, that will have to be one of the greatest injustices and tragedies not only of CS, of all esports i would venture to say. he absolutely deserves it
apex leans in to 1v1 niko lol 55:41
Niko the killing machine
I genuinely believe Apex got a brain damage because how the fck this dude keep making a same mistake again and again
yea apex is stupid af
Respect for NIKO it reminded me of my lost passion for my Work that dedication was something else salute from my side brother .
They won the game in their head, full passion, full focus, i love it!
EPIC SEMI-FINALS!
Niko is built Different. That was an Awesome match.
Malbs insane performance and yet no one talks about him
One of the best matches I've ever seen
true
Wow, boy O boy, Love G2! Niko, that was insane! His rifling is just smooth as butter. Dude does a 1v3 so regularly that if you get anything less you are disappointed! If he is not the goat, he is top 3 for sure!
This whole match up was fantastic. Excellent CS2! I was on the edge of my “seat” the whole time. Gg gents.😅
Please don't leave G2 Niko
It's already confirmed he's joining Falcons after the Perfect World Shanghai Major
@@randombrandon3085Who confirmed?
The woo was literally absent the whole two maps. On Mirage, he was on the streak but he sucked at OT.
.
G2 on the other hand played insane team play.
One of the main highlights was apEX remaining quiet throughout the series. Wonder what changed.
