G2 still stand a chance of getting grouped by TH and T1, and I think this scenario is the best possible shock we will see this year.

pretty sure 9/10 pickems have G2 going undefeated in groups

But at Champs, you'll never know what will happen. Look at GenG last year, they were literally the best team itw and then got grouped by TH and SEN

true, but G2 looks like the best team itw form wise rn, given that they won americas with a stand-in

Form-wise PRX looks much better though, also AMER this year is kinda weak thus G2 seemed incredible. We have to look at Masters Toronto, where they were literally the same form right now and then got smacked by PRX and even FNC

it's more impressive G2 were still dominant with a stand-in even though regional results don't really matter at the international stage

Doubt it. TH has been looking shaky. If they wake up like in EWC, then maybe.

Tbf it is the same Roster that was Top 4 in 2024, and Champs runner up.

G2 is like the most consistent and disciplined team we've seen in franchise ever

If anything, we're underestimating T1's potential to knock out TH in lowers, because a lot of people haven't actually followed DH's performance after the Sylvan drama

But because of that, I felt like they lack the explosiveness that every team that won international events have. We've seen:

SEN won Madrid, then looked shit throughout the whole year until they beat FPX to finish top 4 at Champs
The most consistent team last year in terms of standings was Heretics, and yet they did not win even a single final.
EDG looked dogshit from start to mid 2024, until they found out the way and won Champs
This year, T1 won Bangkok out of nowhere, then looked dogshit mid season, just to come back recently
PRX really looked shit at the start of the season, and then the win against DFM changed everything.

I felt like every team that won any international events have some inconsistencies at some point of the season. Even EG won Champs in 2023 had some shitty periods like getting 13-0ed by LOUD, just make it to Champs by MIBR winning over 100T.
