Thats why I fucking love Hoox1. The guy is just built different. He was trolled for the first few months and he still acknowledged his shortcomings. people memed on him and he laughed with them. He had a lot of pressure and a lot to work on. And the man did it. He knows how to celebrate the success of his teammates and how to push them forward. And he is such a humble and natural guy. He truly is a gigachad...
@@ganeshmarathe2964 He didn't exactly laugh at the meme. According to what he said when they won The World Finals, he spent the first months crying because he felt like a failure to the team. Which to me is even more impressive, because a lot of people would break at that point and simply give up. Hooxi instead decided to improve himself in every aspect, so he could offer his team the IGL they deserved.
i'm just saying, we should have expected this version of g2, if hooxi was able to bring such a no name team like Copenhagen flames to such deep runs, imagine what he could do with superstar talent
@@alexengelandreasen They were not? Even casters and analyst said that back then they were just puggers. It's not an insult to start off as a pugger, alot of top fraggers in the scene started out that way. Ropz,Stewie,etc
I've been a big fan of G2 for years now, ever since they brought in Hunter and Nexa, and it's been quite a ride the last year. It's a good time to be a G2 fan for sure, and this team is proving to be something special.
I started following the team when they had Shox & kennyS (+ Amanek & Jackz), and yet these have somehow been my favourite couple years to be a fan of G2. Niko getting signed was massive. I also had big hopes for Aleksi, which was unfortunate, but all the low points were worth it to get an insane team like this, that's still filled to the brim with personality. G2 fans eating good this year!
Dude it was so sweet. I've been a G2 fan since I watched my first pro CS event in 2017, and we've been mid ever since then. I jumped out of my chair and yelled man, I was so happy. Then I got to watch my Chiefs win the Super Bowl! What a day!
Gonna be honest, 90% of their stream was boring as hell, specially if there weren't any NA teams playing. He spent the whole time talking about random stuff, basically not caring about the games and offering NA CS history lessons to Liz. His reactions to insane shots and plays from other teams were so meh, and no offense to Liz but she didn't care a single second about the match. She obviously knows more about Valorant than CS and has a bigger love to that scene, so majority of the time she just stayed there listening to her colleague fanboying over Liquid.
@@LshowKnows Well i only have the context of the clip and I'm not interested in their stream. I just want some boys to watch the game like I do with regular sports
@@cameronburdette8565 Yeah yeah thats fun for sure. Me and my friend usually watch CS games when its teams we both follow, specially when its our favorite teams against one another
I watch alone, but not live , i watch live about 2-5 minute and continue watching in history youtube, and avoid spoiler who win or lose, i just finish watching g2 vs heroic today🤣
Big props to Heroic for ending the winning streak on inferno, monster tournament from jabbi, he could just as easily have won the MVP as hunter or jks. Let's hope that faze and Navi can lift their level to compete with G2 and heroic. Well have a hell of a year with some crazy CS. Great to see heroic perform even with stavn having a generally bad event. Sjuush and jabbi stepped up to the plate and i legitimately think there is no better pit/a player on inferno than sjuush, man's a monster
Honestly, thank fucking god they ended it. G2 members said they didnt generally care about it and only wanted to win the trophy because that was their goal, but (cant remember who said it in a post game interview) it was almost good that they lost a map because it completely resets the built up pressure of keeping that streak alive
@@Pyxyty jks, during the DHL mvp interview I think. Even as a viewer I remember feeling similar, first feeling bad about everything that map loss meant, then realising they could just fully focus on winning that match now without distractions. And it clearly showed.
Was an awesome tournament once again and finally G2 made it work all the way to the end . Looking forward to the next major to see how this year continues for CS :) Imma guessin´ we´re gonna be in a proper rollercoaster
Not only 1v1, if two names of Hunter, Money,jks on the map, you would expect they will have a 2v4 or 2v5 easily. G2 won so many 2v4 clutches in this series
@@framitas8724 so many time I say eh they are saving yet time and time again they still have these crazy 2v4 or even 5 and I just sat their unable to process how
From being eliminated in the Major Qualifiers, from being smashed by FaZe 14-2 in the group stages of Blast and in the brink of being eliminated there as well, they went on right after that to a historic 22-1 in maps and counting... Including against FaZe and NaVi, and even #2 Heroic
G2 was at its weakest on the first 3 maps on the final, it was clear they weren't playing their game nor were enjoying as always, M0nesy was committing mistakes he never does and was having a lot of difficulty holding check points as CT. It was Heroic time to capitalize on it and Cadian was playing amazingly, yet G2 still managed to resist and somehow win the maps. Then on Ancient something happened after the long pause. The match started and it was immediately obvious that the G2 from the rest of the major was back. Hooxi opened being exactly where he should, and doing exactly what was needed, even hard carrying the first half, then as CTs they were impenetrable as they were for most of the time while playing CT. Amazing work
@@FacelessBeanie I wont agree with everything he said but i will agree that m0nesy was pretty lacklustre in the first 2 maps(not including the end of mirage) he seemed to be missing some pretty easy shots, especially for his standards, luckily the rest of G2 can make up for it.
@@FacelessBeanie G2 wasn't tbh in the 1st halves of those, their comeback also wasn't like how they performed in Ancient. That inferno loss was what made them win.
@@FacelessBeanie personally, yeah they didnt really look like the same. Distinctly remember some rounds on Nuke where they exec'ed the site but just didnt run in for some reason, or when they werent trading and peeking to trade when they shouldve. They looked really unconfident in the first halves of both those maps, only making comebacks in the 2nd half (although more for Mirage, since Nuke is a very ct sided map and they were cts in the 2nd half for that). After the map loss on Inferno and the 30 min break, it was like they suddenly were back in focus and just shredded on the T side of ancient, it was fucking amazing to watch
NiKo carried so many teams he played with to the finals or at least close to finals even tho they had no right to. It's not even funny. Yet he never seemed to talk shit on his team. A well deserved champion. Congrats to the entire team. They were all really good.
I guess it's because it's hard to understand how much impact a coach has on a team because we rarely get to see or hear what he tells the team or what advice he gives or how he keeps them in line and shit. Always easy to praise the player that you're watching for the entire match, never easy to give praise to someone you dont hear a single word from during the game
I saw the title of the video, had no idea who "he" was by the thumbnail and kept scrolling by this video dozens of times. The only reason why I'm commenting is because I like this channel and want it to do well so after noticing myself doing this for at least the tenth time I just wanted to say that the video's presentation is the exact opposite of clickbait.
Quick comment on Liquid here They were playing well but G2 was just on a whole nother level this time around. Liquid couldn't get anything going against them but I think we really need to take a step back and honestly appreciate where the scene is at right now I can't really recall a time like this past year and the beginning of this year where it feels every team is just as competitive as the next and any team could win at any event. As a Liquid fan, it hurts because I want them to win as much as possible but as a csgo fan I think we should all appreciate just how competitive the scene is right now. ..... But also please Liquid for the LOVE OF GOD stop losing eco rounds. I'm dying over here.
Can you please highlight StarCraft 2 at IEM Katowice? There was a huge Cinderella story about a Chinese player (Oliviera) who never won any major tournaments that won World Championship.
What year was the 2 consecutive finals? The faze year was 2022 and I thought 2021 was Gambit and Niko didn't get to the final. I thought it was 2020 with Navi that they went to the finals
@@Pyxyty i did. He said 2 consecutive finals that he lost. Faze beat them in 2022 but 2021 it was Gambit that won against virtus pro and Navi beat g2 in 2020. How is that 2 consecutive lost?
Can you report on all the Overwatch 2 glitches that are occurring and the devs aren't even addressing?? "A “competitive” FPS game with broken sensitivity settings with absolutely no word from developers on when this will be fixed.

This isn’t even funny anymore, this is truly disappointing."
The only reason Liquid won the grand slam is because Astralis took a year long break and Niko/Faze were pretty much no longer competitive. Other than that, team liquid as an org has proven to be the gate keeper of NA CS, where pretty much zero up and coming talent has any real viable way of moving up into tier 1 without playing for liquid. EG is dead, and Col isn't even NA. This isn't anything against the players (NAF, Elige, Nitro). Although they did play a part in pretty much hogging the chairs of the liquid lineup and only turn up when their paycheck is on the line, there is zero excuse for why Liquid hasn't made an academy team in NA to foster up and coming talent. Instead, we pick up some no name kid Osee that didn't turn up AT ALL until the very last match in Katowice, and probably won't hit that level consistently. Sure, Liquid keeps getting 4th or 2nd at big events, but that doesn't excuse the BS they have been pulling for the last couple of years. They are like the grayhound of NA CS. Stomp local competition into oblivion, not allowing any up and coming teams to get serious experience on serious lan's and then go to EU only to struggle, and turn up only when they get threatened with replacements/salary cuts. Lets face it, liquid players are their for the paychecks and the fact that they really are, the only "good" players in NA, but still far off the EU competition, or even the likes of Twistzz. Everything else is NA copium.
I could never support niko or simple because of how arrogant they were, I still don't support simple but my feelings about Niko changed. Maybe a lot of that has to do with our Lord and Saviour Sir Gigachad Hooxi, he made me root for him and G2, but in this moment when he finally won and he was crying I felt him. His voice shaking made me cry as well.
So happy for Niko, he's been so deserving of a big trophy win, bout time he finally gets what he deserves and more!

I was waiting this video for hours and finally theScore did it.
don't say he did it until that boy got his major
Well deserved. Long awaited.
On every game before the final: Game 2-0 = G2
On the final game: Game 3-1 = G2
Name checks out
Let's not forget that Heroic has been so dominant and let's admit it, we doubted G2 if they can beat Heroic but man, G2 proved us all wrong!
G2 fans were scared for sure, but i think i can speak for most of us when i say we believed haha. So proud of them!
Heroic and g2 are simply the best two right now. These two teams are going to have a 2021 Navi vs FaZe rivalry this year

Hi, here's a video about G2. But first, let me tell you how the NA teams did
The only reason Liquid won the grand slam is because Astralis took a year long break and Niko/Faze were pretty much no longer competitive.
Other than that, team liquid as an org has proven to be the gate keeper of NA CS, where pretty much zero up and coming talent has any real viable way of moving up into tier 1 without playing for liquid. EG is dead, and Col isn't even NA. This isn't anything against the players (NAF, Elige, Nitro). Although they did play a part in pretty much hogging the chairs of the liquid lineup and only turn up when their paycheck is on the line, there is zero excuse for why Liquid hasn't made an academy team in NA to foster up and coming talent. Instead, we pick up some no name kid Osee that didn't turn up AT ALL until the very last match in Katowice, and probably won't hit that level consistently. Sure, Liquid keeps getting 4th or 2nd at big events, but that doesn't excuse the BS they have been pulling for the last couple of years. They are like the grayhound of NA CS. Stomp local competition into oblivion, not allowing any up and coming teams to get serious experience on serious lan's and then go to EU only to struggle, and turn up only when they get threatened with replacements/salary cuts.
Lets face it, liquid players are their for the paychecks and the fact that they really are, the only "good" players in NA, but still far off the EU competition, or even the likes of Twistzz.
Everything else is NA copium.
hope you’re wrong about Heroic. it’s far too much fun hating them, and at least i can hate and laugh. just hating would be dull
Good event besides the third dead crowd in a row
only thing left for G2 is a worlds trophy in League of Legends
So sick for G2, chemistry is real, NEXA and ALEXI both better IMO, fit matters, look at NAVI without Boombl4, shadows of themselves.
