Making the grand final of IEM Katowice 2020<\/a> against all odds after battling through the European Qualifier is a huge achievement in itself for the Franco-Serbian roster of G2 Esports. <\/p>\n

While the loss was bitter and Natus Vincere never gave them a chance, the progress shown is a promising silver lining within the disappointment.  <\/p>\n

BLAST from the past<\/h2>\n

As the old superteam roster did previously, current G2 entered the new year with a statement. While the ELEAGUE Boston Major 2018 run saw the team’s last push reclaim a Legends spot, it was a swan song rather than a phoenix reborn and a turbulent period followed. <\/p>\n

Heading into 2020, G2 Esports was set to be a top 10 team but not one to be a frequent challenger to the established names in the game. Having acquired new talent and transitioning to an international lineup while retaining the French core, the experimental mix was thrown in at the deep end.<\/p>\n

G2’s first event was BLAST Premier Spring Season and they were drawn into Group 3 alongside Evil Geniuses, 100 Thieves and OG as the third seeds against more successful lineups with proven track records.<\/p>\n
