NAVI vs G2 Esports is a matchup that has plenty of history behind it. Both teams have faced each other numerous times in the past, with 2021 being the peak of their rivalry. Over the course of the pandemic and the introduction of CS2, the rivalry has changed quite a bit, thanks to the vast changes made by both organizations.

In recent times, it is clear that NAVI has not been able to live up to the success and hype of G2 Esports. However, 2024 seems to be a positive start for this roster that is missing its franchise player, s1mple. The prodigal AWPer, w0nderful, has done an excellent job replacing a name like s1mple. iM has also finally found his footing, along with b1t slowly returning to his 2021 form.

G2 Esports has had a bit of a dip in its performance after the acquisition of former team member, nexa. While m0NESY and NiKo continue to be impressive, the team has stagnated a little bit and has been unable to really light a spark in the events that it has participated in.

It is undeniable that G2 Esports is still one of the most star-studded rosters in the tier-one scene on paper. The lineup has the capability to win against anyone on a given day. However, inconsistency issues along with nexa not having the greatest start in his return to G2, proves worrisome for the roster.

The matchup between NAVI vs G2 Esports favors the former. NAVI has proven to be more clinical and decisive in its gameplay compared to G2 Esports at the event so far. If NiKo and m0NESY can power through and bring their best game, G2 has a decent shot at getting revenge against NAVI.
