last thread about G2 with icy for the year. but does anyone else think them getting jawgemo gave them too much of an ego/they got too cocky. last year they were hated for being too good (like destroying sen and all the sen kids got map) and the ex ceo (crying twitter fans) but this year they are hated for ego/being cocky. with icy they were cooler (no pun intended)

only solution is to hug everyone on stage or do funny poses with prx players
talking shit has nothing to do with what i said. i liked when theu talked shit but they would get cocky and its annoying
Valyn's attitude towards meteor and mako is the proof of why they are hated. JonahP making declarations of winning Champs, before getting eliminated in Toronto. Abusing tejo meta unlike any other team, and the org owner was a corrupt, Plus, fat shaming which I myself am guilty of to be honest.
who says it is too boring ? It comes to who you talk sh1t and how. When valyn talks sh1t to Meteor who literally sent them home, that is not okay mate. If you talk shit to Meteor who has 2 trophies while you have 0, it is better to go and win champs, but what happened ? they are heading home now. They have so much ego because everyone praises them , and only stupid person will say that they are not good, but in order to have this ego you have to prove it. Actually not a single person have problem with Alfa calling himself as a Final Boss, bcs everyone knows what he is capable of. That is the biggest difference between G2 players and people like Alfa. If you do not know Something also talks a lot of sh1t in russian, he swears a lot and etc., but again no one says he has a big ego, because he proved everyone wrong.
100% dude we should all be front runners and only talk shit when we're up
that shows real confidence !!!!
why would you not talk shit to someone you lost to when you beat them in a rematch? the whole point is to get in the other players head
Then don't be surprised if the player or the team get's hate . Yes that's the point of trashtalking, also understand that if they talk shit to other players then they also will get shit flung at them by the fans of the other team
everybody should be shittalking. personally, i love it
but saying g2 are "cocky" for it is just not true lmao
I think we are just watching surface level cockiness man they haven’t even started to follow double dive I can’t imagine how much cocky can they get if they really start to follow the meta
The only way to not get hated on by the community is literally just to be a kpop twink manchild like Jinggg, TenZ, or Boaster
do NOT associate me with those. i fw shit talk but you cant say they arent cocky
What’s the line between being cocky and confident? Which teams left in the event that you believe can win this event arent cocky?
i dont see any other team making a song about being in an “era”. most of these teams at the event arent even close to cocky
You realize the org decides that content right? Im talking about being cocky in game. FNC, PRX, TH, NRG, and MIBR are all cocky
Definitely not whole teams, but some players definitely get too cocky. Benjyfishy, Skuba, Alfajer, Something, Cortezia are some go-to examples because they shit-talk as soon as they are ahead. Benjyfishy feels the most prone to shit talking and then getting shut down. When he was playing Lotus, his team was playing well and then he was playing dumb angles solo-anchoring the A-site and got popped. Alfa and Something have the most reason to chat because they are two players hitting unbelievable peaks in stats.
Ngl I got the feeling that OP is either just being willfully ignorant or just doesn’t watch this teams, only explanations for just flat out ignoring the shit talk these guys say in game
I mean, it's definitely not the smack-talk you see in CS, but it's undeniable that players in Valorant are giving it more so it's a lot more entertaining to watch.
What do you mean "hated"? Demon1 was similar to G2 and was glazed when he was the top and hated when he fell, That how it works if you trashtalk and are arrogant do you geniunely think people will not talk you down when you lose???
G2 are strategically solid and last year, I think they had their strats perfectly aligned with how the meta was then. The main issue was undeniably icy - his lack of frags and the fact that his gunfights felt a lot more wobbly compared to other duelists definitely gave a lot of people a reason to hate G2 as they won maps and games when they shouldn't have in theory.
This year, they definitely looked like they had the strats dialled in with Tejo, but I think they tried to cook with something that was not so flexible. Definitely a bit of cockiness, but I would say G2 strats this year didn't feel amazing and the map pool was definitely not one of their best to work with. It definitely felt like G2 tried to streamline their comps too much, but it could have potentially worked out. Today, they definitely fumbled the veto by giving DRX Abyss and Bind which are their two favourite maps.
A little tangent here: this is part of why I don't like Americas as much - their comps often feel heavily recycled from previous years with nothing super out-there cooked up like double-dive or niche picks like Chamber or Sage. The golden era concludes disappointingly and they should probably stick together since they are all competent players, but just need to have a little bit more of an X-factor.
Reasons why people hate G2:
1) They talk too much shit for not having achieved anything (besides regional)
2) Their fans are obnoxious (not as much as sen fans tho)
3) G2 shits on SEN and yk how sen fans are
4) They dont have that flashy star player like zekken (unless u count jawg, but dont think he fits that 'flashy' type)
5) 'Golden era'.
A mix of these and thats where people get that hate from
Ok now create a list that explains why they were still the most hated in 2024
Second, third and 4th reason
And with 'shits on sen' I dont mean just ingame, but also their trashtalk on sen
In fact, 4th reason makes even more sense if we're talking 2024 G2
NRG has their fav streamer, aka som + had fns. Mada is also pretty flashy, but ppl like nrg mostly cuz of som + fns and all the memes that came from NRG. Also I didn't want to say it but people judge a lot on looks, and G2 isn't the most 'attractive' team
It's just that there is not a single other team who gets described as "the best in the world" and "perfect valorant" without having lifted a trophy, so naturally everyone wants them to be humbled. Even fucking FNC with two trophies gets underrated when they're not in form or whatever.
What's weirder than the hate is this phenomenon where people think G2 has valorant figured out for some reason? I don't get it.
Just on a pure macro level, it’s not crazy to say G2 has achieved that, just as far as we’ve seen. It’s everything else that G2 falters at. Great micro is just as important, if not more important. Like there isn’t a single team out there that does a better job than G2 at ult cycling, prioritizing ult orbs, hitting the less stacked site, etc. but that’s not all there is to the game
Which G2 fans, istg this narrative is fake as fuck at least here in vlr, i don't consume reddit.
I the only ragebaiters i seen with a G2 flair are leafdagoat and probably kuruk. I can't believe 2 people could do that much damage lmao.
People just don't like the team and that's it, people loves calling them fat; oh that's the thing they enjoy the most lol.
It's not just 2 people, G2 fans are a big minority and not that 'loud'. But when u do find them, oh god
And yes I didnt want to say it but people love shitting on people with not the greatest looks
Idk why they even get hate tbh. When they act cocky and trash talk it's pretty tame imo, so I thought people didn’t actually hate them fr, they were just ragebaiting out of spite since they've been rated really high at every international this year but fell short.
Ya should trash talk against player who has two international trophies and a mvp bracelet
deserved to go home
also making the golden era music video
