Today, English-speaking analyst Aleksandar kassad Trifunović criticized the captain of the G2 team and blamed Rasmus HooXi Nielsen for the team's poor performance at the recent CS:GO major - BLAST.tv Major Paris 2023.

Here is a quote from Aleksandar:

HooXi is the reason why G2 didn't make it to the playoffs of the Major. I call HooXi a bad captain, not only in terms of bad calls, ideas, stats, or poor shooting. The biggest problem is that he has no understanding of the players he has to play with. He has no idea who they are and what they are capable of. And I am 100% sure that this is the problem. I've reviewed a bunch of their demos, round after round, match after match - all of them. I see so many things that NiKo, huNter-, and jks are forced to do, but they make no sense in terms of their abilities.

 

Initially, G2 Esports started their performance at the Major with the BLAST.tv Major Paris: European RMR B 2023, where the team advanced to the Challengers Stage with a score of 3-1.

On their way, they defeated teams such as Cloud9, Aurora, and iNation. They suffered a loss against the Polish team 9INE.

However, looking at the tournament statistics, HooXi performed as well as everyone else, with an average rating of 5.6.

In the Challengers stage, the team dominated their opponents and advanced to the Legends Stage with a score of 3-0.

On their path, G2 defeated Apeks, Complexity, and TheMongolz. However, in this stage, the team's captain completely failed in his performance, with an average rating of 5.2 for all matches.

However, in the final stage of the tournament, the team suffered a crash and ended their performance with a 1-3 score.

They only managed to defeat Furia from Brazil with a score of 2-0, but then they lost to Fnatic, BNE, and Team Vitality! The statistical picture remained almost the same as in the previous stage, only it got even worse. The captain's rating for all 7 played maps was 5.0!

Let's remind that the BLAST.tv Major Paris 2023 took place from May 13th to May 21st, 2023. The tournament had a prize pool of $1,250,000. The winners were Team Vitality, who defeated GamerLegion in the final with a score of 2-0!
