I agree with that... It's just that CT sided Dust2 is historically the best for french teams. I wouldn't say they lost untill they play that half. Won't change the fact that they will get rekt on nuke, don't worry. And also, I'm so titlted : why is it Show fucking awping on Dust2 CT side and not Kenny ? Ex6 so braindead. Or Shox is back with his teenager crisis I don't know, but why ! Seriously

I usually don't think spots are wasted and it is nice to see lesser teams compete but G2 is literally the definition of a wasted spot. This team will never achieve anything and it is not like they are and up and coming squad. I get that shox doesn't want to play without smithzz but why KennyS ever signed up for this is beyond me.

G2 ranked #20 at the world! What a get for our Arabic organizers. At this rate they might also get hot teams like FLOW, Order, Superjymy and maybe even 5POWER or Kinguin (well maybe not that high tier, but man can dream can't they)
