    Why are all analysts always talking about the veto of G2 being bad at the major? Niko and Hunter lost an atrocious 2v1 against aleksiB which lost them anubis straight up. If this had not happened they would have won the map and assuming they still won the second map they would have won the semifinals. Suddenly the veto does not look that bad.

    • @yanlei8645
      @yanlei8645 2 месяца назад

      G2 has been defeated by navi seven times. AleksiB should say if rather than G2. No matter how many rounds they lose due to their mistakes, navi is always the winner finally. G2 was lucky in this match so they look like close to win, do not push out luck.

      2. I expect better utility usage and timings from Snax. This is speculation. I don't have data to support this
      3. In the last 3 months Snax has died less per round than Hooxi. 0.66 vs 0.73 DPR means he's died 7 less times out of 100 rounds. In a 13-11 game that means he dies approximately 2 less times. To me that is not an insignificant amount of economy saved particularly if those deaths are avoided on CT side.
      4. There should be an excellent working relationship between him and Taz. I just hope it translates to the server.

To me, the G2 team has 2 stars , one decent player and 2 mediocre players (Hooxi Nexa) . Very puzzling set up , considering you just need about 1-2 more star players to really kick things off.

    I'm sorry but I cannot agree with what you said about Blast World Finals 2022. First of all you mentioned the teams, as if G2 was playing against scrubs. You then saw that they beat Vitality, then Faze, then Team Liquid (okay, this one's pretty underwhelming), which immediately made you shift your focus onto the context of the game. You mentioned context and how most players have checked out, and G2 has only been able to win when people are checking out or just coming back from a vacation, therefore discounting their win for Katowice 2023 as well.
    As for pro league after Katowice, if we're going by "context", everyone is just coming back from a vacation, no? So shouldn't every team get a pass here?
    And then Cologne. You said it was a legit run. But then just before diving in, you undercut this by saying people were just playing CS2 at that point.
    Bottomline is, a win is a win, maybe except the win against Jame crashing. I'm a brain-dead G2 fan, and I know they could've done better without Hooxi. But let's hate on the guy rationally. He has the aim of a gold nova master, and he needs his teammates to bail him out damn near every game. But that's all I'll say about him.
    The amount of hate you're giving him is like a basketball fan hating on LeBron and undercutting his every achievement. I'm a huge LeBum hater, but even I wouldn't go as far as Skip Bayless. Don't go there, Richard. You're much better than that.
