Aurora Gaming and G2 Esports have both been underwhelming of late, failing to find any meaningful traction. While they’ve both made some noise at the Esports World Cup, neither team contested the trophy, and neither is expected to do so at BLAST Open Fall.
Interestingly, G2 and Aurora Gaming field competent rosters that should be able to compete for the biggest trophies, yet until they find momentum and consistency, that is unlikely.
Given their form and past showings, this appears to be a highly scrappy affair in the making.
- Both teams need to find more traction
- Aurora Gaming are 2-0 up in head-to-head
- Expect a close and scrappy affair

Aurora Gaming Are in Shaky Form
Aurora Gaming enter BLAST Open Fall 2026 still chasing their first tournament trophy of the season. They’ve come close to accomplishing that feat a few times, however, with a silver medal from ESL Pro League Season 23 and a semifinal run at the more recent Intel Extreme Masters Cologne Major.
Despite their promising performances in Germany, Aurora Gaming haven’t been as successful in the coming weeks. They exited BLAST Bounty Summer qualifiers in the first round, then won the less competitive StarLadder StarSeries Fall 2026: European Qualifier, but crashed out of the Esports World Cup in ninth-16th place.
With six wins from their last nine games, Aurora Gaming have not been terrible, granted they’ve not beaten any good teams over that stretch, also suffering losses against FOKUS and BIG.

| August 19 | Esports World Cup 2026 | FURIA | 1-2 (L) |
| August 15 | Esports World Cup 2026 | JiJieHao | 2-0 (W) |

G2 Esports Have More to Prove
G2 Esports haven’t been great of late. They made some noise at the IEM Cologne Major and the Esports World Cup, reaching the quarterfinals in both events. However, despite all the talent on this roster, G2 haven’t found much success against tougher opponents.
They are 4-2 in the last six, with losses against FURIA and Team Liquid. Meanwhile, G2’s wins over that stretch came against Nemiga Gaming, M80, BIG, and Astralis, so it is fair to say they’ve not beaten any great teams.
Most of G2 Esports’ struggles stem from their poor map pool. They have a solid win rate on Mirage and Inferno, but struggle on five other maps in the rotation, boasting a sub-34% win rate.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| August 20 | Esports World Cup 2026 | FURIA | 1-2 (L) |
| August 19 | Esports World Cup 2026 | Astralia | 2-1 (W) |
| August 13 | Esports World Cup 2026 | BIG | 2-1 (W) |
| August 12 | Esports World Cup 2026 | M80 | 13-11 (W) |
| July 25 | BLAST Bounty Summer Qualifier | Team Liquid | 0-2 (L) |

Verdict
Aurora Gaming and G2 Esports have both been looking very iffy of late, making it hard to trust either one to deliver on Wednesday. G2 have dealt with slightly stronger teams, which gives them a bump, while Aurora Gaming have a deeper map pool.
Qualitatively, G2 Esports appear stronger, but given their weaknesses, it is unlikely they will win with a sweep.
Expect a competitive game.
