Aurora Gaming vs G2 Esports Betting Tips – G2 Can Trouble Shaky Aurora at IEM Beijing 2026
Aurora Gaming and G2 Esports will meet in the second round of Group B at Intel Extreme Masters Beijing 2026 on Tuesday, November 3. Aurora hold a 3-2 head-to-head advantage this year, including a recent win at PGL Masters Bucharest, but both teams have struggled lately. Aurora suffered a heavy opening defeat to Team Liquid, while G2 have managed only one win in their last eight games. Given their recent performances and the narrow margins in previous meetings, this fixture is expected to be closely contested rather than favouring a clear winner.

Aurora Gaming have beaten G2 three times before this year, including in their most recent clash during
PGL Masters Bucharest, so it comes as no surprise that they’re expected to do it again this week.
However, Aurora looked particularly bad in their first-round match, making it fair to question whether they deserve the tag of heavy favourites for Tuesday’s affair.
- Aurora Gaming had a very rough start to the tournament
- G2 Esports have long been looking for some traction
- G2 can challenge the shaky Aurora
Aurora Are 3-2 Up in Head-to-Head

Aurora Gaming Look Rough
Aurora Gaming have been ramping up of late. They placed second at StarLadder StarSeries and third at ESL Pro League Season 24 and Thunderpick World Championship ahead of their trip to China, before slowing to a fifth-eighth place finish at PGL Masters Bucharest.
However, despite showing strong form, Aurora could not find any traction in the first round of IEM Beijing, when they were crushed by Team Liquid. The match ended with 3-13 on Inferno and 4-13 on Anubis, marking one of the worst losses Aurora have faced in recent months.
While it is not fair to overreact to one game alone, Aurora seem to have slowed down, and considering they lost to Liquid, it is hard to imagine Aurora doing any better against G2.

G2 Esports Are Not in Good Shape
G2 Esports have been struggling with their form in the last month. Since placing second at FISSURE Playground #2, G2 exited ESL Pro League Season 24 in 12th-14th place and won the wooden spoon at PGL Masters Bucharest.
Things have not improved much in the first round of IEM Beijing, when G2 Esports lost to PARIVISON 1-2. They took the series lead with 13-9 on Dust II, but lost Anubis and Ancient with 7-13 and 9-13.
With just one win from their last eight games, G2 Esports are in a steady downward trend and in desperate need of finding some momentum.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |

Verdict
G2 Esports’ form is nothing short of disastrous, as they’ve won just one of the last eight games, and even that came against a lower-rated team, ShindeN. They have shown some signs of life against PARIVISION in the first round of the tournament, although not nearly enough to inspire much confidence.
Aurora Gaming have not amazed either, and considering how close their last clash with G2 (13-11, 16-14) was, it is more than fair to expect another close affair. With that in mind, Aurora Gaming, as heavy favourites, do not appear to be an inviting pick.
