Reactions

G2’s phenomenal achievement met with positive reactions from the gaming community. While many fans replied to Mixwell’s tweet, there were some big names in the list too. Notably, these names include ‘Linepro’ former TSM player, Liquid ‘Scream’, ‘G2Perkz’ and so on.

Given that G2 is unbeaten as of yet, other teams trying to establish themselves in Valorant competitive, would have to work much harder. This also comes as good news for G2 since they have now proven dominance over most of the games currently having an esports scene.

G2 took a jab at other teams regarding their performance in a recent tweet highlighting all of their victories.
