I like that G2 has been transparent with their scrim results. G2 deservedly lost, but the community reaction has definitely been overblown. To say that scrim results don’t matter is disingenuous because quite often, many western teams get blown out in scrims and implode after losing confidence and trust within their own teams. How many times do you hear a player say they can win with empty conviction behind their character? All the time because they are getting gapped in scrims.

I appreciate that G2 are taking their knockout so heavily because it shows just how seriously they believed they would make a deep Worlds run. I think what everyone is not understanding, however, is that G2 didn’t release the scrim results to cry; I think it is much deeper than that. The scrim results were likely released with the intention of showing G2 leadership and investors that this team was not fraudulent and that given another chance in the next season, they will make an even deeper run with a vengeance.
