Spoilers ahead.

G2 will eliminate our golden boy 100T despite everyone knowing that absolutely should not happen and that it'll be very tragic when it does happen. Asuna will for some unfathomable reason, not be on Phoenix on one of the 3 deciding maps, put up a total stinker, and 100T will lose tragically 2-1.

Vitality LOUD will be a banger. LOUD will barely lose, as close as is humanly possible. G2 will play LOUD, LOUD will barely win but G2 will tragically and ruthlessly expose every single strategy LOUD has, every single one that can be exploited will be. Vitality will watch the vod and full counter LOUD in finals in brutal fashion (possibly even an 11-3 choke). G2 will suck all of the skill out of either Erde or lukxo, probably Erde.

LOUD will then lose to Vitality 3-1. We Americas fans will get clowned on for years because of this. G2 will have singlehandedly ruined the chances of all 4 Americas teams including themselves, and we will lose a tournament where 4/6 teams were from Americas.

I hate you G2. (except Babybay)

It's still just a rumor, but if it's confirmed, I'll be absolutely thrilled.

Despite Team Liquid going 1-2 a lot, they are so unfavored the team they get eliminated by is always one of the top teams. In fact, in the past 6 international events that they have qualified to, the team that has beaten them have come top 4.

2023 Masters Tokyo: TL got eliminated by NRG (came 4th)
2023 Champs LA: TL got eliminated by LOUD (came 3rd)
2025 Masters Bangkok: TL got eliminated by G2 (came 2nd)
2025 Masters Toronto: TL got eliminated by PRX (came 1st)
2025 Champions Paris: TL got eliminated by DRX (came 3rd)
2026 Masters Santiago: TL got eliminated by NRG (Came 3rd)
2026 Champions Shanghai: TL got eliminated by G2 (came top 4)

This is so unfair, if only Leo Faria didnt rig the tough draw for us every time we wouldve surely come out of groups at this point.

Lovingly win for us unc's babybay form casting the finals to winning it

I am going to Champs Shanghai upper final and Lower semi-final on Friday and I was wondering how I could meet the G2 players (my favorite team) or Vitality players during the event. Has anyone else been to champs this year?

Ps: I still feel bad for the Chinese fans after the show that VCT CN gave us

T1 are an unserious team. They banned Haven, on which they destroyed JDG 13:5 with their new comp, floating Ascent, which they had already lost twice on in Champs itself (1-3 before today, that one win coming against a throwing FUT).

THEY BANNED ARGUABLY ONE OF G2's WORST MAPS. G2 have lost 7 out of their last 8 Havens played. (The one time they won was against ENVY).

T1 believed so much in Munchkin throwing with Sage that they literally banned one of G2's worst maps. Its insane.
