G2 are known for their occasional dip in form that leads to upsets. Yet, the recent string of back-to-back losses against OREsports and Moist Moguls to start the league stage was a shocker regardless.

MAD Lions had a lackluster performance in Split 1, prompting them to make changes to the roster by bringing in Blackheart and Bjor to replace ZexRow and drone. However, the new lineup is also failing to yield the desired results for the team, as they have started Split 2 with two consecutive defeats.
