HooXi Voices Disappointment Over G2's Run at IEM Chengdu 2024

G2 Esports' captain, Rasmus 'HooXi' Nielsen, has candidly expressed his letdown over their performance at IEM Chengdu 2024, where G2 ended up in the 3-4th place, securing a $20,000 prize. Sharing his thoughts on a personal page, Nielsen didn't mask his dissatisfaction with the event's outcome.

No grand final for us once again. We had our chances but were not sharp enough. Disappointing tournament for me personally as well. Thanks for the support China, incredible!

The Danish leader's reflections came after G2's defeat to MOUZ, which knocked them out of the tournament. The sniper of the team, Ilya 'm0NESY' Osipov, previously commented on their loss with a terse remark about their Overpass game, branding it a 'disgraceful' performance.
