High-quality trolling — NAVI made a joke on G2 Esports

In many recent major CS:GO tournaments, Natus Vincere and G2 Esports showed an incredible level of play and reached the grand final, where they found out which of them was more worthy of the champion title and the main reward. This time, the custom of the grand final with the participation of NaVi and G2 Esports will not be observed. This was pointed out by the representatives of Natus Vincere, thus joking with their opponent.

NAVI wrote the following on their Twitter account:

At least now G2 Esports can be sure that they will not lose to us in the grand final.

As part of the Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2022, NAVI and G2 Esports got into Group B. Natus Vincere became the best team in their group. which allowed the team to reach the semi-finals. G2 Esports, in turn, took 3rd place in the group and managed to reach the playoffs through the lower bracket, beating Astralis there with a score of 2-1. Thus, G2 will start from the quarter-finals, while NAVI got straight to the semi-finals. It is noteworthy that Natus Vincere will face the winner of the pair Virtus.pro vs G2 Esports, which means the impossibility of the final with the participation of NAVI and G2 Esports, to which the audience is already accustomed. Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2020, Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2021 and PGL Major Stockholm 2021 ended with such bright confrontations.

Earlier, G2 Esports signed Ilya 'm0NESY' Osipov, buying the young talent from Natus Vincere. In the video announcement, Ilya, at the request of the G2 leadership, provocatively spoke in the direction of “Born to Win”. He turned to s1mple and said: "Sasha, I'm coming for you." Based on the fact that G2 Esports consistently reach the final of the tournament and fight with Natus Vincere for the right to win the tournament, these words may well become a reality.
