Who is expected to win in NAVI vs G2 Esports CS2 BLAST Premier Spring Groups 2024?
Prediction
NAVI vs G2 Esports is a matchup loaded with history. The teams have frequently competed against each other, with their rivalry reaching its crescendo in 2021. However, with the development of CS2 and the ongoing pandemic, things have changed significantly due to several internal changes within both organizations.
Recent developments suggest that NAVI has not quite lived up to the success and hype surrounding G2 Esports. That said, 2024 appears to be starting on a positive note for NAVI, despite the team being without franchise player s1mple. W0nderful, who has taken over from s1mple, has been performing exceptionally well, and iM has finally found his rhythm, with b1t gradually getting back to his form in 2021.
On the other hand, G2 Esports seems to have hit a slump in performance following the re-introduction of former team member nexa. While m0NESY and NiKo are still performing well, the team’s overall growth has plateaued slightly, suggesting a need for reinvigoration.
G2 Esports, in theory, still possesses one of the most star-studded rosters in the top tier scene. The team is capable of besting any rivals on a good day. However, ongoing inconsistency paired with nexa’s less than stellar start after his return to G2, raises concerns for the team.
The NAVI vs G2 Esports matchup seems to favor NAVI, who have shown more precision and decisiveness in their game play in the event thus far. But if NiKo and m0NESY play at their best, G2 stands a good chance of turning the tables on NAVI.
Head-to-head
NAVI and G2 Esports, with their current lineups, have faced off twice, with NAVI holding a 2-0 lead in the head-to-head record.
