This is the hardest article to write for this blog. Our audience is mostly KC fans, and we’re not going to tell you what you want to hear. Sorry.
Recent Form
G2 is at 83% recent form and just came off a dominant 3-0 against KC in the EWC qualifier a week ago. KC sits at 50% — they beat KOI 3-1 which was impressive, but that loss to G2 was a reality check. The gap between these two teams right now is real.
The KC Path to Victory
It exists, but it’s narrow. When KC finds those unconventional picks — Canna’s Yone into a Sion, Busio’s Velkoz against Seraphine in bot — they look like a completely different team. Those picks worked beautifully against KOI and created chaos that a more structured team struggles to handle. If KC can draft creatively and catch G2 off guard early, they can steal a map or two.
The Problem
G2 isn’t KOI. Caps and Skewmond don’t get caught off guard easily, and G2’s macro is good enough to recover even when they’re behind. KC needs everything to go right to beat them. G2 just needs to play their game.
Head-to-Head
G2 leads 4-0 and three of those four series weren’t even close. The one KC won was back in January and felt like an outlier even at the time. A week ago G2 swept them 3-0 in the EWC qualifier — same players, same patch, same result.
The Pick
KC will fight. They always do. But G2 is operating at a level KC hasn’t been able to match consistently, and a BO5 on this form favors the better team almost every time.
G2 wins 3-1.
(And honestly KC fans — if Canna pulls out something wild in game one, anything is possible. But we’re being real here.)
