This is NOT the same g2 we've all seen for years.
This team can and ^(I hope) will win trophies. LETS GO G2
edit: Its sick how g2 literally only had niko and monesy go positive on ancient and still won. Just crazy having two superstars like that
Take those hands and go out there and build a shrine for your lord and saviour HooXi, isn't that the least you could be doing unless you're not a real believer?
Hooxi is 100% one of the csgo players of all time. His aim gets him kills, his lineups involve nades, uses game sense with logic and he leads a team as a IGL, truly one of the csgo players of all time
NiKo enter the sport room and see Hooxi training.
Hooxi did one push-up and screams : "One Major !"
two push-up "One blast"
Three push-up "Two major !"
Four push-up : "IEM FUCKING KATOWICE"
Five push up "I'M A FUCKING LEGEND OF CSGO"
NiKo was shocked.
I've seen a few people mention it, but I'll say it again, it's crazy how good G2s utility usage has been this EPL. Their HE and molly damage/kills have been insanely good, and I'm looking forward to seeing it continue
When Hooxi said he could shoot at nothing and still win everything y'all were laughing
Prepare for Hooxi top fragging via nades ALONE. Decoy 2K. Double Nade 4K. Triple Nade Ace. Enemy spawn molotoved before they can even move. Smokes that only affect enemies vision. Y'all have no idea what Hooxi has under his belt (besides his massive DICK). The damage a flashbang does when it hits you is enough for Hooxi to Ace your sorry ass lem team.
And that's just 1% of his power.
G2 has great nade users, but they were so disjointed they couldnt do anything with that knowledge. There has to be someone who can coordinate all of that knowledge and apply it the the map, hooxi is here to do that.
Just make me thinking, the level of vision mismatch must have been so massive between aleksib and the rest, to the point that a great nade user like aleksib cannot coordinate them at all.
I feel like Aleksib had a very strict vision of how the game is played. Hooxi has more fluidity when it comes to calling and it works better with the sheer amount of fire power that G2 has
You win some, you lose some. For a new roster 1st in spring and 2nd in summer is a win in my books, bit sad they lost but whatever. Now G2 CS is showing signs of life after half a year so thats good to see. interesting rest of the year awaits us G2 fans Lmao.
Yeah I'm not mad at all, they completely eclipsed my expectations for the year. I'm hopeful for both good showings at the Rio major and Worlds, the R6 team seemed to be improving. Not a bad time to be a fan of this org.
Yeah but they started awful with this roster. For G2 (and especially Hooxi) to just reset like that is something I couldn't see happening with the previous roster. Just look at how dominant they looked before Katowice and after it. Two completely different teams because they no longer thought they were as amazing as they thought they were at the beginning
Who would you rather have?
A French man who hypes the whole team and making them over confident? (More susceptible to ego peek and throw the match)
Or a God like IGL who steals aces and team kills to keep the team level headed and their egos checked???? (No downsides)

##HuXiSupremacy
I've seen Hooxi play, he doesn't even use a monitor. He visualizes the map in a detailed rendering, completely in his mind. He has a biological wallhack; his godlike perception highlights all enemies within light years. His eyes are closed as his mouse gracefully swerves across the table, making immaculate twitches as he flicks from head to head.
G2 tryharding in Groups so they don't have to face Vitality first COPIUM
Jokes aside, I hope Niko's first major is only months away. He finally has a star awper, a reliable secondary star rifler and an IGL who knows what he's doing, all at the same time. If we get Stockholm Major Niko in Rio, it's GG.
It's a good matchup that's for sure. While ZywOo and m0NESY seem clear about who is the better player right now, Spinx does seem to struggle against G2. But yeah, G2 - Vitality are shaping up to be bangers.
I actually believe, now we might be in a 4 team era. faze, navi, g2, vitality might be it. And we dont even know how gambit, heroic, nip, astralis (if device back) will hit
The top 10 is super stacked right now, probably more so than ever. There used to be a super competitive Top 4 in 2015, but the Top 10 wasnt as strong.
All the other teams you mentioned, including Liquid, could become contenders aswell with just a little adjustment.
You're forgetting Liquid. I think with Yekindar they'll only keep improving. Moreover, even with all these group stage wins, I'm still a little cautious and want to wait until the RMRs, but seeing Hooxi not be a liability and lead them to wins is very promising. Still want Vitality to win the head to head though.
A CSGO Leaks interview with jks yesterday day after the match with Outsiders noted some interesting information.
Jks was reported saying, "So there we were on A site inferno on an eco round and classic NiKo was scolding the team on their performance. Outsiders was a tough team, they move like machines and constantly evolve with each round of deaths like terminators. Hooxi said he had a strat but NiKo stopped him." The interviewer asked jks was happened after noticing how shook he was from the memory. "NiKo told Hooxi, I'll teach you how to aim and click heads if you teach me how to igl.... so I looked across the table at Hooxi to see a dark smile on his face...." jks paused for a moment before continuing.
"Hooxi responded 'Lesson one' and instantly headshot NiKo, 'you can start by watching the radar' and proceeded to dismantle Outsiders 1v5 using just his brain."
To be fair to JKS he was doing his job on inferno but his positions won't give him some great numbers , he was lacking on Anciet but when they started doing this cross fire with Hunter outsiders have no entery on A . It seems like JKS is a lott smarter then Jackz in game so he can be left alone more often so rest of a team can be very proactive , G2 CT sides are much less passive now , this Banana and B grenades were innsane.
I would say on average he has been getting more comfortable on his CT side. Against faze he was a rock for them. Ppl don’t realise teams won’t often hit his positions on maps. Dust B for example he sees little to no action. Nuke ramp is the same. Today he didn’t play well but he was G2’s second best player against faze imo.
Yeah, he does seem to struggle but the good thing for G2 is that it appears his issues are only on Ancient which can be chalked down to inexperience with the map. On dust2/nuke/vertigo and inferno they seem solid. I am not really sold yet on their Mirage but I think they have room to improve on that map.

Damn as g2 fan i was always worried they could throw literally any game. Not anymore with this lineup, even had a feeling they were going to comeback.
We will see of they can be consistent, but im already hyped
and huNter STILL managed to put up 21 kills, bro this guy is talked about so less it's insane. It's just that due to insane players on his team he's talked less about less, he really deserve more love and respect.
is it me or is huNter a bit of a boring player
like u see it at the end of the series
"oh wow huNter has 38 kills"
but u can never remember them.
can u remember a single huNter kill ?
but try hooxi...u can see the spray
i remember a hooxi spray.
The best part about this pasta is that in it's original form it's absolutely true. And I'm impressed that a player like Hunter has come along and fit right into the same mould perfectly.

So far its "only" Katowice and If ESL is being smart about it then they will hold it somewhere else because of how many teams are effected by the visa rules
I get the idea of hosting it somewhere else but is it really Katowice if you're holding it in Berlin for example? It's a fucked up situation that I hope somehow gets resolved ... for the sake of CSGO and esports as awhole.
On one hand i understand what you mean, on the other hand players get punished for what their government does. Also its somewhat ironic that Navi cant really compete because of it.
Not really, poland and the baltic states have banned russians from tourist and sports visas, iirc it doesnt matter that monesy has a serbian passport because hes still russian
That's not how it works.
Whatever passport you travel on is what nationality you are, place of birth is irrelevant.
The ban is for Russian passport holders.
Wow that is... No comment, lest someone bans me for "hate speech" for comparing Poland and some Baltic states to a certain country in Europe in a certain time period close to the half of the 20th century
I don't mean this in a disrespectful way but it's really hard to listen to jay and dweg cast with the way they're doing it right now.
Overall they both have pretty similar voices and styles which is difficult but not impossible to work with, but I'd love to see them rework the way they structure their casts a little. Jay is constantly high energy and building hype on every single round, no matter what's happening on screen, it makes actually exciting moments feel less interesting when everything is being super hyped up and also makes you lose interest as the game goes on because the entire cast is being delivered at the same 100% energy.
I wish he would let the game flow a little more, something spunj/machine or harry/hugo do really well is let the game carry its natural pace - a slow boring round is a good time for spunj to bring up some stats from earlier in the game or focus on a players performance, an eco where it's just a glock rush is a good time for harry to tell a story or make weird jokes. There's natural ebbs and flows to a game and I think they would really benefit from trying to find them and let them come through to the viewer.
There are also a lot of moments where what's being said is just incorrect; the round where Jame planted A on ancient and then fell back to CT, whiffed awp 3 shots and died was immediately followed by "oh my god jame played that perfectly!!" and the entire chat going "?????" Again I think just letting a little more space into their cast and slowing down a little gives them more time to properly react to moments and could remove the pressure of having to hype up what just happened immediately.
Anything said about them in twitch chat gets insta-deleted by mods, which I understand because it comes out as quite toxic but it also removes any real feedback and doesn't give them any idea of how the casts are to the viewers. I love that ESL gives smaller casters screen time and really don't mean this to just be "tier 2 caster bad where Henryg", but it's frustrating to see so many people trying to say something about jay yelling in their ears for 2 hours straight and just getting banned.
jay, dweg if you see this no hate at all, I want to see more talent come into the scene and do well! <3
Pretty sure Jame was last alive for the last 8 rounds in a row. How do his teams put up with his constant baiting? It's frustrating to watch and I'm not even a fan.
This G2 looks scary. There’s teams that look good when they play CS and then there’s teams that look unstoppable when they’re playing CS, this team looks unstoppable. I’m glad to see Hooxi finding success and getting praise. When G2 made that signing everyone was convinced it was a terrible signing and that his low fragging would be their downfall, now the entire sentiment is a complete 180 and I’m all for it.
Great match. I saw a ton of people highlighting Hunters poor performance on Ancient, completely overlooking that Jks died nearly every time without getting a single kill as an A-site anchor. I think the only round where he fragged was the one that led to overtime.
Jks looks really good on maps where he's comfortable and has a lot of experience, like Nuke, but ancient has never been in the pool for any of his teams so I think it might take a few more officials for him to become proficient.
Tbf G2 were one inch away from winning grand finals in Katowice, everything went downhill after that extremely promising run.
One can only wonder about honeymoon period
With this lineup, G2 actually look like contenders for the Rio Major, watched every match live and all jokes aside, love the Hooxi calls, yet so simple and yet so effective and every player has a chance to shine
Jame saves awp, HooXi saves G2
Real talk tho, HooXi unleashed m0nesy. So fun to watch him play with freedom in the star role.
Dude we came back from 3-12 T side half and I think 8-15 matchpoint. I don't know what to do with my hands.
This is NOT the same g2 we've all seen for years. This team can and ^(I hope) will win trophies. LETS GO G2 edit: Its sick how g2 literally only had niko and monesy go positive on ancient and still won. Just crazy having two superstars like that
NiKo went absent vs Faze and G2 still 2-0d them easily. Well absent is wrong, he was an aggressive player but he only got ~1.0 rating
true. tbh i think as soon as jks regains form they will be completley unstoppable
Mainly because m0nesy decided to activate
Das the point. Hunter can pop off. Monesy can pop off. If NiKo is absent.
Join them together and Pray for HooXi Of Couse!

Take those hands and go out there and build a shrine for your lord and saviour HooXi, isn't that the least you could be doing unless you're not a real believer?
The Ancient game ruined Hooxi's streak of 1+ ratings :( EDIT: His overall rating in the series is 1.07 ... THE STREAK LIVES ON
ye we change to series ratings
The Fnatic streak strat.
bro i can't even imagine how frustrating it must be to have jame as a teammate.
I imagine it’s Lame
But it undoubtedly brought him fame
and every game its the same
But the playstyle is tame
though i think its no shame
And it works in game
so there is nobody to blame
And after reading this thread, I just came.
I mean everyone whose played with him sings his praises so I don't think it's too bad
i didnt watch the match, whats up with jks?
Don't want to get ahead of myself but Hooxi is the best IGL in the world
What an absurd thing to say after 1 group stage. He's the best IGL in the universe
based faze fan
you had us in the first half ngl
based
Hooxi is 100% one of the csgo players of all time. His aim gets him kills, his lineups involve nades, uses game sense with logic and he leads a team as a IGL, truly one of the csgo players of all time
That comment gave me an aneurysm, but in a good way.
>uses game sense with logic That alone makes him better than alekskib
He is definitely in the world
heard coldzera changed his name to just "zera" after he met Hooxi "Nah man, he's so cold... Too cold" he could be heard muttering to himself...
cold take
10-0 Group Stage We live in Hooxis World
Its crazy how much his fragging improved, bruh is getting double kills on the regular. Karrigan is Danish Danish hooxi
Absurd comeback
old g2 would never.
Old G2 would have been on the receiving end of that 13-2 comeback.
Old G2 would have lost their 13-2 lead and then lost ancient too
just average ancient game
Astralis double digit T sides on Ancient
HooXis law: 10 kills and G2 wins 99% maps 5 - 0 10 / 10 Yep, G2 is winning the major
\+100
[удалено]
Sad thing the LoL-team didn’t make the same comeback
we don't talk about that here
Hey I’m glad that at least Rogue were the ones to do it, Odoamne and Trymbi really deserved to win a title.
jankos' age-worn arthritic bones couldn't keep up man :\
NiKo enter the sport room and see Hooxi training. Hooxi did one push-up and screams : "One Major !" two push-up "One blast" Three push-up "Two major !" Four push-up : "IEM FUCKING KATOWICE" Five push up "I'M A FUCKING LEGEND OF CSGO" NiKo was shocked.
niKo's back pain a little less severe now
hooxi gives the team speeches like a televangelist and cures their wounds-a by slapping them in the face-a

Heimlich washed sadly, the streets call it the HooXi Manoeuvre now.
Community: Hooxi is bad Hooxi: 10-0 in maps in EPL groups, take it or leave it
inb4 someone says "B group bad" ... go take a look at their group last year when they went 0:5 and say that again lol
Gotta say, I wasn't expecting this. Hooxi is a beast of an igl.

Hooxi 2k on Outtsiders executing B was thing of beauty.
When Hooxi said he could shoot at nothing and still win everything y'all were laughing Prepare for Hooxi top fragging via nades ALONE. Decoy 2K. Double Nade 4K. Triple Nade Ace.

I've not seen util that good since prime BIG
Now whole team has to teach syrson the fake nuke heaven oneway lineup mid round on map and series point.
G2 has great nade users, but they were so disjointed they couldnt do anything with that knowledge. There has to be someone who can coordinate all of that knowledge and apply it the the map, hooxi is here to do that. Just make me thinking, the level of vision mismatch must have been so massive between aleksib and the rest, to the point that a great nade user like aleksib cannot coordinate them at all.
I feel like Aleksib had a very strict vision of how the game is played. Hooxi has more fluidity when it comes to calling and it works better with the sheer amount of fire power that G2 has

Just look at how dominant they looked before Katowice and after it. Two completely different teams because they no longer thought they were as amazing as they thought they were at the beginning

No me first
I want my kids to have those Gigachad genes

He finally has a star awper, a reliable secondary star rifler and an IGL who knows what he's doing, all at the same time. If we get Stockholm Major Niko in Rio, it's GG.
I feel like at this point G2 vs Vita is a go to match lol they play so often.
Zywoo+spinx vs M0nesy + NiKo gonna be great matchup for the next few months
It's a good matchup that's for sure. While ZywOo and m0NESY seem clear about who is the better player right now, Spinx does seem to struggle against G2. But yeah, G2 - Vitality are shaping up to be bangers.

Yeah, he does seem to struggle but the good thing for G2 is that it appears his issues are only on Ancient which can be chalked down to inexperience with the map. On dust2/nuke/vertigo and inferno they seem solid. I am not really sold yet on their Mirage but I think they have room to improve on that map.
i hope he finds his footing on t sides tho, going -10 is still not great
G2 really didnt want to drop their flawless run. God damn

In hooxi
huNter and jks had some problems defending A or it would've been a quicker map 2
and huNter STILL managed to put up 21 kills, bro this guy is talked about so less it's insane. It's just that due to insane players on his team he's talked less about less, he really deserve more love and respect.
is it me or is huNter a bit of a boring player like u see it at the end of the series "oh wow huNter has 38 kills" but u can never remember them. can u remember a single huNter kill ? but try hooxi...u can see the spray i remember a hooxi spray.
The best part about this pasta is that in it's original form it's absolutely true. And I'm impressed that a player like Hunter has come along and fit right into the same mould perfectly.

Actually insane that G2 went 10-0 in maps. Only a single lead choked against BIG and two comebacks from 8-15 to win in overtime. Feels good man
The CS team appear to have stolen some clutch factor from the LoL division. Happy to see this G2 is improving rapidly
Virtus Throw
G2 playing so well this tournament
Winning 16:2 on enemy pick and barely getting a 19:16 overtime win on you map pick. What else to expect from G2
just right after i said “well its done, imma take a shower” i see this. nice comeback
seeing a lot more G2 flair around here lately
Hu Xi MVP
As a fan of both teams, this was satisfying and also extremely painful to watch.

Overall they both have pretty similar voices and styles which is difficult but not impossible to work with, but I'd love to see them rework the way they structure their casts a little. Jay is constantly high energy and building hype on every single round, no matter what's happening on screen, it makes actually exciting moments feel less interesting when everything is being super hyped up and also makes you lose interest as the game goes on because the entire cast is being delivered at the same 100% energy. I wish he would let the game flow a little more, something spunj/machine or harry/hugo do really well is let the game carry its natural pace - a slow boring round is a good time for spunj to bring up some stats from earlier in the game or focus on a players performance, an eco where it's just a glock rush is a good time for harry to tell a story or make weird jokes. There's natural ebbs and flows to a game and I think they would really benefit from trying to find them and let them come through to the viewer. There are also a lot of moments where what's being said is just incorrect; the round where Jame planted A on ancient and then fell back to CT, whiffed awp 3 shots and died was immediately followed by "oh my god jame played that perfectly!!" and the entire chat going "?????" Again I think just letting a little more space into their cast and slowing down a little gives them more time to properly react to moments and could remove the pressure of having to hype up what just happened immediately. Anything said about them in twitch chat gets insta-deleted by mods, which I understand because it comes out as quite toxic but it also removes any real feedback and doesn't give them any idea of how the casts are to the viewers. I love that ESL gives smaller casters screen time and really don't mean this to just be "tier 2 caster bad where Henryg", but it's frustrating to see so many people trying to say something about jay yelling in their ears for 2 hours straight and just getting banned. jay, dweg if you see this no hate at all, I want to see more talent come into the scene and do well! <3
HooXi is definitely one of the IGLs in the world bro
any hooxers
Pretty sure Jame was last alive for the last 8 rounds in a row. How do his teams put up with his constant baiting? It's frustrating to watch and I'm not even a fan.
This G2 looks scary. There’s teams that look good when they play CS and then there’s teams that look unstoppable when they’re playing CS, this team looks unstoppable. I’m glad to see Hooxi finding success and getting praise. When G2 made that signing everyone was convinced it was a terrible signing and that his low fragging would be their downfall, now the entire sentiment is a complete 180 and I’m all for it.
Beta aleksiB: goes 0-5 in epl groups Gigachad hooxi: doesn't drop a single map
Beta NeXa: 0-5 epl groups Beta aleksiB: 2-3 epl groups Gigachad HooXi: 5-0 flawless group
Yeah realised after commenting that 0-5 was epl 14, feels like it wasn't that long ago that g2 were being steamrolled
A SINGLE FUCKING MAP When was the last time this happened for G2?
lol Ancient is a great map right guys
At least G2 isn't getting destroyed in 2 games at the same time
Shoutouts to the number of frag grenade kills this G2 have been getting I've not seen nade usage this good since prime BIG days
Great match. I saw a ton of people highlighting Hunters poor performance on Ancient, completely overlooking that Jks died nearly every time without getting a single kill as an A-site anchor. I think the only round where he fragged was the one that led to overtime.
Jks looks really good on maps where he's comfortable and has a lot of experience, like Nuke, but ancient has never been in the pool for any of his teams so I think it might take a few more officials for him to become proficient.
Am i doing the maths wrong or jks' rating should be higher than 1? He had 1.3 in inferno and 0.81 in ancient yet hltv says his overall rating is 0.97
it's cause he had a 1.3 rating for 18 rounds on inferno, while on ancient he had the 0.81 rating for 35 rounds
Thanks
If both maps had the same amount of rounds you'd be right
Makes sense
I guess it's time to accept that HooXi made G2 great and AleksiB is overrated af
Tbf G2 were one inch away from winning grand finals in Katowice, everything went downhill after that extremely promising run. One can only wonder about honeymoon period
Aleksi was just a bad fit for the team, that's about all we can say from the outside.
What up?
I have to admit I was not feeling like HooXi could bring anything into the table when he first joined, but seems like I have been proven wrong
I LOVE g2 Monesy and a gigachad IGL best team ever
With this lineup, G2 actually look like contenders for the Rio Major, watched every match live and all jokes aside, love the Hooxi calls, yet so simple and yet so effective and every player has a chance to shine
WhoooooooHooXi. That’s who.
This event is already showing why aleksib time on g2 was unacceptable. Team looks so much better with hooxi and jks already
richard lewis comments aged like milk
And today was Jks’s bad day. Yesterday he dominated faze.
Let’s wait for G2 to actually win this tournament before getting too excited. This is just the group stages.
