G2 Esports will have a chance to avenge their regional allies, Sentinels, and secure a spot in the playoffs. In this article, we will analyze both teams' recent performances and attempt to predict the winner of this matchup.

Current Form of the Teams

G2 Esports

G2 Esports started the season with a dominant victory at VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff, remaining undefeated throughout the event. They have won four of their last five matches. At Masters Bangkok 2025, they played two matches, securing a win against Trace Esports but losing to EDward Gaming.

Match Prediction

Both teams have had strong starts to the season, but G2 Esports appears more stable and experienced. Their victory at VCT 2025: Americas Kickoff proves their readiness for international competition. While Team Liquid has shown potential, the lack of experience in their revamped roster could work against them.
