G2 Esports made it to the playoffs of the IEM Cologne 2024 with some difficulty. The Samurai rarely miss the final stages of tier-1 tournaments, and m0NESY is slowly building up a backlog of good performances for the Top 1 of the HLTV Awards. The whole team is at an incredible level right now, and there is hope that G2 Esports can reach the Grand Finals.

G2 Esports' performance in the IEM Cologne 2024 is nothing short of impressive. With four players in the top 10 of the individual HLTV rankings, the team's dominance is evident. NiKo (1.44 HLTV) leads the pack, followed by m0NESY (1.39), malbsMd (1.38) and huNter (1.33). The team's statistics are simply staggering-G2 Esports wins 65% of the rounds, wins the majority of the rounds in 85% of the cases and is absolutely dominant in attack (73% win rate). The team's pistol mastery, winning 15 out of 18 rounds, is a sight to behold. On the servers, the samurai are wreaking havoc - slashing with knives, delivering one highlight after another. In the group stage, G2 Esports defeated Team Spirit, allowing the Dragons just four rounds over two maps. However, the team started the tournament with a loss to The MongolZ, which was perhaps a good shake-up for the NiKo team.

MOUZ started the playoffs in the quarter-finals, a rare occurrence in 2024. Usually, they would finish top of their group and go straight to the semi-finals, but Team Vitality did not allow MOUZ to start from a comfortable position in the race for the title. The Siuhy team will now face off against G2 Esports, a team that has historically been a formidable opponent for MOUZ.

But there are other things to consider at the moment. Firstly, MOUZ doesn't look as formidable as before the summer break. It has significant problems with pistol rounds (5:9), winning only 51% of rounds, and a willful effort has accompanied every win in the series. Team Falcons and Complexity have given MOUZ a lot of trouble. Usually, the team's players top the individual leaderboards after the group stage. Still, now Brollan (1.18) and Torzsi (1.17) are well outside the top 10, Jimmphat and xertioN have just passed the unit (1.07 for both), and she is now the worst playoff participant (0.88). The Mice have played a few competitive matches after the break and are still in the early stages of the new season in Cologne, which explains their less-than-ideal play in every game.

Thanks to G2 Esports, MOUZ didn't make it far in a major, crashing out after a face-off at IEM Dallas 2024 and finishing 9:12. The team had lost twice to the Samurai before that, but in those encounters, they struggled in every round. With MOUZ not playing their best, their next meeting with G2 Esports in Cologne could be their last.

G2 Esports accelerated through the lower bracket with incredible speed. MOUZ, on the other hand, did not leave the best impression after their last meeting with Team Vitality. Matches between these teams are usually decided after the third map.
