G2 Esports' recent history shows a noticeable absence from finals, a streak that has persisted since the departure of Australian player jks.
G2 Esports, despite housing m0NESY — considered one of the best player in the world currently — have faced a series of near-misses in recent major CS tournaments. Since jks left the roster, G2 has consistently placed just shy of the grand finals in several high-profile events:
- BLAST World Final: 5th-6th place
- IEM Katowice: 5th-6th place
- PGL Copenhagen: 3rd-4th place
- IEM Chengdu: 3rd-4th place
This trend highlights a potential gap left by jks, who, during his tenure from August 2022 to November 2023, helped lead G2 to victory at events like IEM Cologne 2023, IEM Katowice 2023, and BLAST Premier World Final 2022.
The statistic throws into relief the challenges faced by G2 in harnessing their evident potential into championship titles. As m0NESY remains in MVP form, the team's strategy and synergy without jks are under scrutiny. G2's journey ahead will be watched with keen interest as they aim to break this streak and reclaim their spot at the top of the podium.
