As usual at the end of a split, Romain Bigeard, general manager of G2 Esports, shared on X the table of scrim results of his team over the entire period of the Summer split. During the Spring split, despite losing the final against Movistar KOI, the Samurai still maintained good and consistent results for a significant part of the competition.

By finishing this Summer with a 68.1% win rate during the weeks of competition, G2 has improved by 7 points compared to their spring results (61.3%) and nearly matched their Winter record (69%). Results in line with the performance of a team that seemed much more dominant during the competitive matches of this split than in previous ones.

Varied opponents but mostly from LEC

Unlike previous splits, where it was not uncommon to see ERL teams training with multiple European champions, during this split, G2 primarily trained with teams from their league. Only Galions, Karmine Corp Blue, and Misa Esports faced G2 once each during this split, resulting in three victories for G2.

Unsurprisingly, the teams that played the most scrims against G2 this season are the other members of the top 4, along with Fnatic, Karmine Corp, and Movistar KOI. Not to forget GIANTX, whose reputation in scrims suggested they generally measured themselves against top-tier teams.

Some interesting facts:

Among the interesting facts, SK Gaming is the only LEC team that has not faced G2 in scrims during the split. If the LEC classico tends to lean more in G2's favor on stage, in scrims, it is indeed Fnatic who dominates with 6 blocks won against 4 for the samurais.

Movistar KOI (8 blocks lost and 1 won) seemed, however, to have difficulties beating G2 during their training. What not to put them in confidence before playing the final against their scrim's nemesis. Added to that, G2 was coming off two 6-0 wins against KOI during the two weeks before the finals in Madrid.

An improvement in the working method?

To accompany the results, Romain Bigeard also publishes the whiteboard used as a calendar and summaries of the games played in scrims and in officials. Instead of seeing the result as usual, people can see written in each box a word chosen by the players to describe their training. Romain Bigeard explains that by an "Idea to lower the result-based approach it pushes on scrim games. Words were added to help focus on our learnings."
