G2 Esports vs Team Falcons in-depth team analysis

G2 Esports roster and recent results

G2 Esports entered PGL Bucharest surrounded by reports that its roster is set to be gutted by Team Falcons. It hasn’t shown on-server, though. The team was lights-out in the group stage, beating Team GamerLegion, Rare Atom, and Complexity Gaming to secure a spot in the finals. The playoffs weren’t much of an issue either, with the team taking 2-0 wins over Virtus.pro and Complexity Gaming once again.

The G2 roster has looked especially strong in the tournament, dropping just one map across its five matches so far:

Nemanja “huNter-” Kovač
Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov
Mario “malbsMd” Samayoa
Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelski
Nikita “HeavyGod” Martynenko

G2 Esports map pool

G2 has been particularly strong in 2025 on Dust 2 and Inferno. These are the team’s two most frequently played maps, and it has an 83% and 73% winrate respectively. The team is roughly even elsewhere, but it has taken to instantly banning Train.

Team Falcons roster and recent results

Team Falcons looked doomed in PGL Bucharest. The team was the first one to take an upset loss from Complexity Gaming, and was then handed another L by Team GamerLegion. The squad was able to rebound with wins over Pain Gaming and Rare Atom, but left many aghast when it won out of the group stage by beating The MongolZ.

It pulled GamerLegion in the playoffs, and won the rematch with a 2-1 score. Team Falcons then punched its ticket to the finals by beating FaZe Clan in what could be this roster’s last event:

Emil “Magisk” Reif
Nikola “NiKo” Kovač
René “TeSeS” Madsen
Damjan “kyxsan” Stoilkovski
Abdulkhalik “degster” Gasanov

Team Falcons map pool

Team Falcons has a close-to-even record across five of the six maps it plays on. The one exception is Mirage, where it has a comfortably positive record at 7-4 in 2025. The one map it doesn’t play on? Anubis.

G2 Esports vs Team Falcons betting picks & predictions

Core picks

Correct map score bets
- PGL having best-of-five finals means that there are some potentially big wins, like picking G2 to win 3-0 at 4.03
G2 wins (1.52)
- The 1.52 line on G2 winning is a juicy one, given how the picks and bans will likely see G2 have the chance to play on both Inferno and Dust 2

Prediction

G2 Esports should be able to take a fairly clean win over Team Falcons. While the future of these teams isn’t really clear, G2 looks to be considerably better right now. There’s a reason that Falcons reportedly wants to pick up some of its players, after all.
