G2 are one of Counter-Strike’s favorite soap operas.

The latest season, from a sensationalist (ours) point of view, is going hard.

jks, darling of Reddit, has been cut for objectively worse fragger nexa, who is bringing ‘vibes’ and secondary calling to make up for it, allegedly.

But with a target on their backs — and huNter- in career-worst form — they keep delivering.

m0NESY is on an absolute tear on CS2: While everyone was losing it over ropz, m0NESY was finding just as many gimmicks and is making the AWP look as OP as ever.

And he’s fired them to more success, a 3-0 run in Europe’s RMR to make G2 the first team booked in for the first CS2 Major.

The 2-0 match saw them grab revenge over FaZe in an easy 2-0, with NiKo back to his best.

G2 are a team that love a peak and trough. But their peaks last year came at Katowice and Cologne; could this year’s come in Copenhagen?

Elsewhere, VP joined them in typically comprehensive fashion. Their Kair0N-related disasterclass at Paris’ RMR is swiftly forgotten.

RMR CS is known for its upsets, but we’ve not seen a great many so far — depending on if you ever consider NIP favourites.

The only big team in trouble is Falcons, who have been screwed over by Valve seeding wise and sit at 1-2 after losses to FaZe (No. 1 at the event by HLTV ranking) and 2024’s big surprise package Eternal Fire (No. 6 at the event.)

Snappi and co. will now face AMKAL for survival, but should have the quality to still make it through.

Should, anyway. Never take anything in these RMRs for granted: The smooth sailing so far could be setting us up for an even bigger disaster than usual. See you Sunday.
