G2

Biodata

Roster and Staff

Competitive Identity

• G2's strength is built around a three-core attack force, with Arrow, Niko, and Kid repeatedly identified as its central firepower. 153
• Arrow's arrival raised both the roster's ceiling and its consistency: as an aggressive freelancer, he could secure kills or gather vital information even when dying on the front line. 220
• With Arrow absorbing more frontline responsibility, Huxi could concentrate on shot-calling, crossfires, and supporting teammates. 220
• The team expanded its primary map pool to Nuclear Crisis, Inferno, Anubis, Ancient Ruins, and Mirage. 218
• G2's form-dependent, gunfight-heavy style could previously swing sharply between dominant and disorganized performances; the addition of Arrow gave the lineup a more stable floor. 195 220

Story Role / Major Arcs

Copenhagen Major

G2 entered the Legends Stage as a formidable opponent for NIP, which had already lost to it twice. NIP regarded G2's sniper CSBOY as particularly difficult to handle, and commentators considered individual performance the key to any NIP upset. 133

IEM Chengdu Substitute Run

Arrow joined G2 as a substitute because of Huxi's absence, arriving with the team in Chengdu to prepare for the tournament. 140 The temporary roster defeated Steel Helmet 13–1 on Ancient, then beat Liquid 2–0 and Mouz 2–0 en route to the later stages. 142 150 155

G2 ultimately won IEM Chengdu. The result became Arrow's first championship and later counted toward the team's eight S-rank titles in 2024. 178 245

Formation of the New Roster

Arrow's official joining created a more complete lineup. In a practice series against Team Vitality, G2 won 30 of 48 rounds, and Huxi judged the new roster's overall results highly positively despite remaining coordination issues. 220

IEM Dallas

G2 defeated Green Dragon 2–0 in the upper bracket, with its new lineup described as having no obvious weakness. 228 It then defeated NAVI 2–0 in the semifinals to reach the IEM Dallas final against Team Vitality. 240 242

IEM Dallas was later recorded among G2's championship victories during its 2024 run. 245

2024 Dynasty

Following Arrow's arrival, G2 won IEM Dallas, the Esports World Cup, IEM Cologne, ESL 20, IEM Rio, BLAST Fall Finals, and BLAST World Finals. Together with IEM Chengdu, these victories gave the team eight S-rank tournament titles in a single year and completed the IEM Grand Slam. 245
