NRG Esports vs G2 Esports - Which team will win this match in VCT Americas Stage 2?

Predictions

NRG Esports has not been able to produce great results in the 2024 season. The team struggled to perform during Stage 1 and has missed out on both international events. While they have shown some improvements by bringing back s0m and FNS into the roster for Stage 2, they are still yet to achieve a series win.

G2 Esports have shown significant improvement ever since Kickoff. They were able to put up a brilliant performance during Stage 1 by finishing in second place and making it to the top three of VCT Masters Shanghai. This team has already started off Stage 2 with a bang by securing a 2-1 win over Cloud9.

This match of NRG Esports vs G2 Esports heavily favors the latter, as they have looked significantly better throughout the 2024 season. However, this new iteration of NRG did show some promise in their first match and could make things difficult for G2 Esports.
