The Falcons won the last clash; however, it was a very competitive game, which could’ve gone either way. As such, Falcons should not be considered favourites for the rematch, especially considering they’re not a consistent team and appear less prepared for LAN than G2 Minnesota, who are a more experienced team.
This has a competitive game written all over it, and no clear favourite to come out on top.

Riyadh Falcons Can be Hot-and-Cold
Riyadh Falcons finished the CDL Major 4 qualifiers in second place, with a 4-1 record. During the online stage, they’ve beaten Miami Heretics (3-2), Paris Gentle Mates (3-0), Carolina Royal Ravens (3-2), and G2 Minnesota (3-2).
Falcons’ only loss of the qualifiers came against their old foes FaZe Vegas, who bested them 0-3 at the start of the final week.
Overall, the Falcons have looked solid during the qualifiers, but their run has highlighted just how inconsistent this team can be.
They are arguably very reliant on momentum, needing a strong start to get the ball rolling. If that doesn’t happen, the Falcons tend to be all over the place, which almost cost them wins against the Heretics and Royal Ravens.

G2 Minnesota Have Tools to do Well
G2 Minnesota will face off against the Falcons in a rematch from the final week of the Major 4 qualifiers, when the Falcons edged out a win. However, G2’s loss was largely due to poor execution in the final rounds of Search & Destroy, when G2 Minnesota choked away a great opportunity to force a round 11 and potentially take the win.
Besides the choke loss against the Falcons, G2 Minnesota have been playing well this stage, and as it seems, the arrival of Nastie and Envoy has made this roster far more potent. Notably, with the new arrivals, G2 Minnesota are now also fielding a more experienced squad, who are more likely to find success on LAN.
Looking more stable and fielding plenty of talent to perform on LAN, G2 Minnesota are not to be overlooked.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |

| June 21 | CDL 2026 Stage 4 Major Qualifiers | Toronto KOI | 2-3 (L) |
| June 21 | CDL 2026 Stage 4 Major Qualifiers | Riyadh Falcons | 2-3 (L) |

Verdict
Riyadh Falcons got lucky to defeat G2 Minnesota in their last outing. And if that game is any indication, the rematch should be just as close and competitive.
But the big question is, how will the Falcons perform on LAN? They’ve not looked too sharp in the previous Majors, and their volatility does not help make a good case for the Falcons and their chances to come out ahead.
On the other side, they have the slaying power to do damage, so all things considered, this is likely going to be another close and competitive clash.
