G2’s shocking falloff in VALORANT is a recurring nightmare for the players
After a hot start to the 2023 North American VALORANT Challengers season, the G2 Esports roster has experienced a massive falloff in the second half, leading to them now sitting on the brink of elimination. For most of the roster, this is an all-too-familiar feeling.
In the first split of the season, G2 went 4-1 in group stage play and reached the final of the Mid-Season Faceoff despite an opening round upset. But since losing to M80 in the MSF final at the end of March, they’ve been on a horrendous slide, losing all five matches in split two and losing in the opening round of Challengers playoffs decisively to Oxygen on May 31.
