In a somewhat surprising turn, G2 Esports finds itself fighting for survival in ESL Pro League Season 21’s group stage against GamerLegion.

G2 Esports ranks among the favorites to compete in basically any event it competes in. Unfortunately, its draws in ESL Pro League have been downright brutal. The squad has taken on The MongolZ and NaVi, and even its “easy” matches have come against formidable opposition.

It’s now in an elimination match against GamerLegion, a newer face to the tier-one scene. How do these teams match up from a betting perspective, though?

G2 Esports vs GamerLegion in-depth team analysis

G2 Esports roster and recent results

G2 Esports reestablished itself as one of the world’s best Counter-Strike teams by placing top-four in the Shanghai Major. Since then, its results haven’t been all that impressive, with an underwhelming showing in IEM Katowice 2025. It’s looking to regain its momentum by rebounding from its loss to NaVi and heading to the playoffs in ESL Pro League Season 21. Here’s the G2 Esports roster:

G2 Esports map pool

G2 is shaky on Ancient, but is tough everywhere else. G2 may or may not be actively avoiding Train, though that could change in this match.

GamerLegion roster and recent results

GamerLegion may have transcended its longtime tier-two standing and become cemented as a high-end Counter-Strike 2 team. This has been seen in multiple events, with strong finishes in numerous tier-two tournaments and a top-eight showing at IEM Katowice 2025. GamerLegion has been digging its way out of a 0-2 start to the group stage, going from losses against The MongolZ and Pain Gaming to wins over TyLoo and SAW.

Here is GamerLegion’s roster:

GamerLegion map pool

GamerLegion has been extremely strong on Inferno, going 11-1 on the map over the last three months. The team is just about even on Mirage, Ancient, and Anubis during that stretch, but has gone 0-2 on Train thus far.
