‘We’re not the same team that played at MSI’: G2 coach vows turnaround at Worlds 2025

Once Europe’s undisputed powerhouse with multiple LEC titles and the region’s first MSI trophy, G2 Esports have fallen short of expectations this year—missing out on domestic titles despite finals appearances and faltering on international stage.

Still, head coach Dylan Falco insists those setbacks have fueled meaningful change, offering fans renewed hope ahead of the Summer Split finals and Worlds 2025.

“We’re not the same team that played at MSI. Anybody who has followed us through EWC (Esports World Cup) and Summer Split can tell we’re different now. I expect us to perform significantly better,” Dylan Falco said in an interview with Sheep Esports. He also argued that G2 Esports defeated Top Esports in the lower bracket in MSI 2024, and they’re back in form for the Summer Split.

Falco admitted G2 have struggled to deliver when it mattered in past years, but stressed he doesn’t just look for an easy path to the top eight. Instead, he wants G2 to prove themselves by beating the best at Worlds 2025—something he believes the team is now prepared to do.

BrokenBlade, the team’s dependable top laner, also expressed confidence in a recent interview, explaining that G2 have learned from their mistakes, adapted accordingly, and are now ready for Worlds 2025.

Dylan Falco has been with G2 Esports since 2021, guiding the team through multiple successes alongside head analyst Rodrigo. With so much of G2’s progress tied to their leadership, questions about Falco’s future naturally arise, especially with their contract expiring this year. When asked about a potential extension with the team, he admitted there’s always a possibility.

G2 Esports are waiting in Madrid to face the winner of the LEC Summer Split lower bracket final between Fnatic and MKOI. After G2 and MKOI qualified for Worlds 2025, Fnatic became the third seed from Europe after winning against Karmine Corp 3-1 in the lower bracket semifinal.
