Both teams failed to perform in the opening round of the tournament. XLG Esports lost to Gentle Mates, while G2 Esports could not make it past Nongshim RedForce.
While a loss is a loss, G2’s performance is more concerning, as they’ve been playing poorly for a long time, and have seemingly hit a slump.
Having now lost three games in a row, G2 Esports enter the Group C elimination match with a point to prove, but it is fair to question whether they can bounce back.
- G2 Esports have been struggling
- Nongshim RedForce look more potent
- This looks like RedForce’s game to lose

XLG Esports Can Bite
XLG Esports entered the Esports World Cup fresh off a solid showing at VALORANT Masters London, where they placed fifth-sixth, building on their success in VCT China Stage 1, where XLG finished second.
Unfortunately, XLG failed to translate some of the momentum to the EWC stage, as they had to admit defeat to Gentle Mates in the first round of Group C. They took the series lead with 13-7, but collapsed on Lotus (1-13) and Haven (8-13), struggling to contain Gentle Mates’ star player, marteen.
The game showed that XLG might lack the individual talent to deal with star players. However, as a unit they still perform well and are good at punishing mistakes. That can come in handy in their next game.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 3 | EWC 2026 | Gentle Mates | 1-2 (L) |
| June 16 | VALORANT Masters London 2026 | Leviatan | 0-2 (L) |

| June 13 | VALORANT Masters London 2026 | G2 Esports | 2-1 (W) |

G2 Esports Are In Rough Shape
G2 Esports were widely considered as one of the best VALORANT teams in the world. And while, qualitatively, they are still an elite team, their form is worrying.
G2 Esports kicked off the EWC with a painful 1-2 loss against Nongshim RedForce, marking their third loss in a row. That losing streak began at the VALORANT Masters London, which G2 entered as one of the main favourites to win, but they ended up collapsing against XLG (1-2) and FUT Esports (0-2).
While a few iffy games do not mean much in the bigger picture, G2 Esports definitely have more to prove, as their performances of late inspire little confidence that they can challenge any team.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 3 | EWC 2026 | Nongshim RedForce | 1-2 (L) |
| June 14 | VALORANT Masters London 2026 | FUT Esports | 0-2 (L) |
| June 13 | VALORANT Masters London 2026 | XLG Esports | 1-2 (L) |
| May 24 | VCT 2026 Americas Stage 1 | Leviatan | 3-2 (W) |
| May 23 | VCT 2026 Americas Stage 1 | NRG | 3-2 (W) |

Verdict
On paper, G2 Esports appear as a better team. They have better individual players and are more experienced. But their form is atrocious.
They’re on a three-game losing streak, which includes a 1-2 loss against XLG Esports. And even though XLG underperformed in the first round of the EWC group stage, it is hard to make a case against their chances of beating G2 Esports again.
Until G2 Esports show some improvement, they are an easy fade – especially against a team that bested them just two weeks ago.
