One G2 CS:GO player takes responsibility for their early BLAST Paris Major elimination

G2, one of the best CS:GO teams in the world, have not survived the BLAST Paris Major Legends Stage and waved goodbye to the $1.25 million tournament following a narrow 2-1 loss to Fnatic on May 15, in which they were reverse swept.

G2’s captain Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen acted quickly and took the blame for the elimination today, thus protecting some of his star players like NiKo and m0NESY, who played below their usual level against Fnatic. Expectations for G2 to win the BLAST Paris Major trophy were as high as ever after they recovered from missing the IEM Rio Major in November 2022 with victories at the BLAST Premier World Final last December and IEM Katowice in February 2023, but NiKo and G2 as an organization will enter Counter-Strike 2 without ever winning a CS:GO Major.
