G2 Esports may have left Worlds 2026 with a disappointing 1-3 record, but its scrim data tells a more encouraging story. The team played 120 practice games across 22 blocks and finished with a 58.3% win rate, according to figures shared by general manager Romain Bigeard.

G2 actually performed slightly better against Eastern teams than Western ones. Across 37 games against LCK and LPL opponents, the team won 59.5% of its games, compared with 57.8% across 83 games against Western teams.

The LCK was especially favorable, with G2 posting a 64.3% win rate—the highest of any region. However, that result came from only 14 games, so the sample size is too small to draw firm conclusions.

G2’s scrim performance included a 3-2 win over Hanwha Life Esports just days before the team was swept in its elimination series on October 30. The contrast between practice results and tournament outcomes has left fans searching for answers.

Much of G2’s preparation came against Western teams, largely because many Eastern squads arrived later in the United States after completing their own bootcamps. Once the Swiss Stage began, G2’s schedule shifted toward more Eastern opponents.

Team Liquid was G2’s most frequent scrim partner, with the two teams playing across six blocks. Their record was nearly even: G2 won 19 games and lost 18 against the North American side.

The close relationship may not be surprising, as Team Liquid head coach Jake “Spawn” Tiberi has publicly praised G2 in the past. Still, neither team converted strong practice results into a successful Worlds run, with both exiting the Swiss Stage at 1-3.

G2’s staff have already teased potential roster changes ahead of the offseason, describing the end of Worlds as the close of a two-year adventure. The scrim data suggests the team had the tools to compete with the world’s best—but translating that preparation into knockout-stage success remains the challenge.
