Why do G2 fly to every single international to shit their pants? Why do they show up in Shanghai, Santiago, Bangkok, or whatever tax-haven arena Riot books this year just to get absolutely bodied in the group stage? It's not for "experience." It's not to "win an international." It's for the frequent flyer points. Every time they qualify for Masters or Champions, the entire roster collectively creams their pants thinking about the miles. While you’re sitting in discord servers malding over a 1v4 clutch, these guys are in the team Discord calculating exactly how many more losses they need before they can upgrade to business class on the way back from London. It all started in 2024. G2 gets invited to their first big international. They show up and suddenly the entire org gets a notification: "Congratulations! You've earned 187,420 SkyMiles™. You are now Gold Elite Status." The players looked at each other like they just discovered a new ability. Icy stopped entrying. Valyn stopped smoking. They all just stared at their phones whispering "Elite... Status...". Now it's a business model. Coach just walks into the pre-match room "Alright boys, today we are running the 'Maximum Layover Strat.' We lose to the China team in regulation, force overtime against the EMEA squad so we get delayed in Tokyo for 14 hours, and if we can throw the decider in a way that sends us through Istanbul layover... that's 45,000 bonus points and free lounge access with unlimited croissants." The analysts aren't even watching VODs anymore. They're on the rewards app. "If we drop to lower bracket round 1 we get routed through Dubai. Dubai has the Emirates lounge with the unlimited champagne. If we somehow make Grands we only get Qatar Airways and their lounge is mid. We cannot afford to win this game. Every single player is in on it. BabyBay shows up to the server with a neck pillow already on. "Sorry guys, gotta keep the neck supported for the 17 hour flight we're about to earn."
I wonder what OG Anunoby finna do after this game. Prolly fuck some bad hoes. Maybe do a money spread. Oohhh he so tuff bruh. He really run this league man
@FNATIC@EWC_EN@EWC_Extra how did this team become so trash so quickly? how 5-0 in group stage then just fall off in playoffs, didn't even put up a fight. No map looks comfortable at all, feels like every other team got better with time while this team just stayed the same.
