tejo merchant trent had the same stats during toronto as he did during stage 1.

Toronto- 1.21 K/D 214 ACS 16.8K/Map 1.6KDA
Stage 1- 1.28 K/D 212 ACS 16.8K/Map 1.85KDA

kickoff was his best tournament this year even though sova was his most played agent:
1.42 K/D 217 ACS 16.2K/Map 1.79KDA

so tejo merchants buff/debuff in't real. G2 just got outclassed by teams who were structured more around their duelists.
Kaajak gets more support from his team than jawgemo does while the quality of other players remaining similar.

Simply put G2 were overperforming during kickoff and stage 1 and got carried by their momentum just like wolves did.
teams like PRX who aren't afraid to play aggressive against big name teams exposed the flaws in both wolves and G2's gameplay and that's it.

Wow a real take on the Tejo situation. Respect.

Trent was never a Fraud, G2's playstyle definitely fit the Tejo Meta very well though. G2 Relied on Tejo more then Trent.

ngl i was kinda stunned by how almost every G2 player had basiclaly the same stats in toronto as stage 1 and still didn't make top 3.
the other teams were just better at conventional agents like raze, neon, sova and omen while g2 relied on agents like breach ( the agent that jonahp played and his fall-off is the highest from stage 1 to toronto), astra and yoru which had a considerable drop off after the utility aspect lightened down since post plants became harder to hold and retakes became easier

it's almost the same thing. only difference would be being an engineer for an airline vs engineer for production company. i'm mostly in for the money because the core work is the same, designing and material surveying.

people were just calling g2 boring tejo merchants but that's because they were the ones using him the most efficiently
like not as much people were clowning drx or sen for being tejo merchants too
so obv when the team that were centering basically all their gameplans around tejo would fall off when he got nerfed substantially

"didnt even make top 3"
they lost to the 2 finalist???? and all the map they played were extremely close and came down to micro decision it couldve gone either way
they were among the favorite and finishing top 4 isnt remotely close to bad

they were among the favorite

they were THE favorite and struggled more against prx than liquid did
with how strong they were, they had to be higher than 4th but they weren’t, their placement is below expectation

the only close maps they won without even nerfed Tejo this event Tejo was vs a hard throwing full tilt munchkin GenG choke and VS a team with an initator sub who can't even comm their duelist's language. You bet the team are Tejo merchants, even if Trent can still perform.

I think the issue was more that the team identity/playstyle took a hit overall with Trent off tejo. It wasn't just Trent, the whole team played better with tejo and without tejo they couldn't play th same style at the same level.

All it was is that G2 found a playstyle with Tejo that worked really well with their playstyle. They are all amazing players but they just got to used to postplant/hits that relied on the missiles.

Trent can shoot his gun but no free site and free postplants without missiles so the team lost
