Match Prediction: G2 Esports - OG | CS2 (CS:GO)
IEM Dallas 2023OG and G2 will meet in the semi-finals of the top group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, where they will literally be playing for a ticket to the play-offs. The winner will advance to the final of their group to compete for a ticket to the semi-finals.
The loser will advance to the last leg of the play-offs, where he or she will compete for a place in the semi-finals. Based on Long Songpeg's performance in the tournament, OG have nothing to do in the top draw.
True, the squad played too awful a game against FURIA, narrowly missing out on a win. For their part, the Samurais didn't feel the Nouns, which was quite obvious. So here I would lean on the G2 team to win.
OG's form
The seventeenth ranked team in the world failed at the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage, where they recorded one win over MOUZ, but also lost to ENCE, Ninjas in Pyjamas and GamerLegion.
After returning online, the European side began to grind at the CCT South Europe Series 4, where they even managed to beat AGO and EYEBALLERS, but still Ledgeil Astralis in the semi-finals.
As for Long Sogpeg in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, here OG got a very tough victory over FURIA. However, it must be said that the team showed absolutely zero play.
OG's latest results:
- A 1-2 loss to GamerLegion.
- 2-0 win over AGO.
- Beat EYEBALLERS 2-1.
- 1-2 defeat for Astralis.
- 16-14 victory over FURIA.
Top scorers for OG:
- Mirage - 71% wins.
- Ancient - 62% wins.
It is worth remembering that the European squad continue to give up Nuke maps.
Form G2
The world's sixth ranked team raced through their BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023 Challengers Stage grid, where they recorded solid wins over TheMongolz, Complexity Gaming and Apeks.
However, in the main stage of the BLAST.tv Paris Major 2023, the European team got out of control as they only beat FURIA, but at the same time failed to cope with direct competitors.
As for Long Soppeg in the group stage of IEM Dallas 2023, here G2 saw no resistance from Nouns, getting a very confident victory on the Inferno.
The latest G2 results:
- A 13-16 defeat to Vitality.
- 13-16 defeat at the hands of the Bad News Eagles.
- 2-0 win over FURIA.
- 1-2 defeat at the hands of fnatic.
- 16-5 win over Nouns.
Best G2 scores:
- Inferno - 100% wins.
- Vertigo - 50% wins.
In turn, the European squad has consistently beaten Overpass.

The teams have not met in their current line-up yet.
Outlook for OG - G2
I don't think OG will suddenly wake up and play like they're ready to win the championship. Based on the match against the Brazilians, it looks like the team is asleep and the attack is nonsense.
G2, in their turn, had no chance to beat Nouns, even though they had no chance from the start. Another question is that the Samurai are stronger from the start, and they play with the main squad.
As for maps, although the teams have not played as often lately, and they have lost by leaps and bounds. But so far G2 leave the feeling of a team that is ready to go into the play-offs today.
In general, in terms of the game OG will have little chance. So in this case I'd recommend betting on G2 to win.
