G2 Esports and MIBR, the two strongest teams from Group Omega at VCT 2025: Americas Stage 1, will face off to determine who takes full control of the group. Let’s assess the form of both teams and predict the winner based on stats and in-game performance.
Current Form of the Teams
G2 Esports
G2 Esports had a flawless start to the season — winning VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff without a single loss, followed by a second-place finish at Masters Bangkok 2025, where they only fell to T1 in the grand final. Out of their last five matches, G2 have won four — all with a 2:0 scoreline, showing both dominance and consistency.
| Date & Time | Team 1 | Score | Team 2 | Tournament |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 22, 23:00 | G2 Esports | 2 - 0 | FURIA Esports | VCT 2025: Americas Stage 1 |
| Mar 02, 13:00 | G2 Esports | 2 - 3 | T1 | Masters Bangkok 2025 |
| Feb 28, 12:00 | G2 Esports | 2 - 0 | EDward Gaming | Masters Bangkok 2025 |
| Feb 27, 15:30 | G2 Esports | 2 - 0 | Team Vitality | Masters Bangkok 2025 |
| Feb 24, 14:15 | G2 Esports | 2 - 0 | Team Liquid | Masters Bangkok 2025 |
| Feb 22, 15:30 | G2 Esports | 1 - 2 | EDward Gaming | Masters Bangkok 2025 |
| Feb 21, 14:30 | G2 Esports | 2 - 0 | Trace Esports | Masters Bangkok 2025 |
Before the season began, jawgemo joined the roster, replacing Icy in the duelist role. This boosted their offensive aggression, and G2 currently look like one of the most coordinated teams in the Americas.
MIBR
MIBR are also enjoying their best start in the last two years — finishing third at the VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff. A major factor has been the addition of Aspas, one of Valorant’s top duelists, who joined ahead of the season. Out of their last five matches, MIBR have won four, including a 2:0 victory over Leviatan in their Americas Stage 1 opener.
| Date & Time | Team 1 | Score | Team 2 | Tournament |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 23, 01:30 | MIBR | 2 - 0 | Leviatán | VCT 2025: Americas Stage 1 |
| Feb 08, 00:00 | MIBR | 1 - 3 | Sentinels | VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff |
| Feb 07, 02:30 | MIBR | 2 - 1 | KRÜ Esports | VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff |
| Feb 03, 00:00 | MIBR | 2 - 1 | Leviatán | VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff |
| Feb 02, 00:00 | MIBR | 2 - 0 | Evil Geniuses | VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff |
| Jan 24, 02:30 | MIBR | 2 - 1 | Cloud9 | VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff |
| Jan 17, 03:00 | MIBR | 0 - 2 | 100 Thieves | VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff |
They also made a roster change before the event — Verno replaced Nozwerr, becoming the only American player on the team. Despite potential synergy issues, the team looks solid.

Head-to-Head Matches
The last meeting between these teams was a year ago, and G2 Esports came out on top. Two months before that, MIBR had won. However, these games were played with different rosters, so they aren’t a reliable benchmark — both teams have undergone major transformations since.
Match Prediction
G2 Esports currently looks like a top force in the Americas. Their consistency, aggression, and discipline — especially after signing jawgemo — allow them to dominate even against strong teams. Their understanding of Lotus gives them a significant edge.
MIBR are looking sharp and have become much more dangerous with the addition of Aspas. However, the recent roster change just before Stage 1 may impact their synergy in key moments.
Prediction: G2 Esports will win 2:1.
VCT 2025: Americas Stage 1 runs from March 21 to May 4. During the event, 12 teams are battling for three spots at VCT 2025: Masters Toronto and valuable Americas Points needed to qualify for Champions.
