Following G2's commanding victory over Natus Vincere at BLAST Open Copenhagen, team captain Nemanja "huNter-" Kovač expressed satisfaction with his squad's resilience after their disappointing performance against Spirit.
The Serbian rifler highlighted the significance of defeating NAVI, a team that has historically given him troubles throughout his professional career. G2's convincing win demonstrated growth since adding Artem "r1nkle" Moroz to their roster during the off-season.
Regarding their Inferno performance, huNter- credited tactical adjustments after NAVI began mounting a comeback. Economic struggles and utility management initially posed challenges, but a well-timed timeout from their coach refocused the team's approach to defending bombsite A.
When discussing Inferno's reliability for G2, the IGL explained that their diverse tactical playbook and comfortable individual positions make them formidable opponents. While refusing to declare themselves the world's best on the map, he acknowledged they rank among the elite.
Looking ahead to potential matchups against M80 or Aurora, huNter- maintained confidence despite acknowledging both opponents' motivation. G2 previously defeated Aurora earlier in the tournament and have consistently bested M80 in recent encounters.
Praising r1nkle's integration, huNter- emphasized the young AWPer's proactive communication and willingness to take initiative during mid-round situations. His work ethic and positive demeanor have significantly benefited the team's dynamics.
Addressing G2's quest to break into the top five, huNter- believes his team already possesses the necessary components. He identified confidence building as the crucial missing element rather than mechanical skill development. With consistent playoff appearances since adding coach NertZ, the next objective involves competing for championships through disciplined review of matches and practice sessions.
