NertZ: G2 Tries to Stay Positive in Tough Times

G2's Israeli rifler Guy "NertZ" Iluz believes his team can recover despite a six-match losing streak. The team is heading to the BLAST Rivals tournament in Hong Kong after finishing last in consecutive events. On the opening day, they will face MOUZ, who are first in the rankings.

NertZ admitted that the team is going through a difficult period. In his view, the problems run deeper than what is visible from the outside and cannot be traced to a single cause. The biggest missing piece is confidence. He explained that once they started losing, this snowballed.

In the short term, the player recommends focusing on the positive things and enjoying the game. He reminded everyone that in 2024 at HEROIC, they focused too much on small details. He said keeping the game simple and not trying to play perfectly in every situation would be the better approach. He stressed that CS is a mental game and that a player who believes they will win the duel usually does.

With the season nearing its end, it was pointed out that two events remain and the Major is also coming soon. NertZ said he believes the team will show better results. The interview also covered MOUZ's rise to first place and the differences between teams built around role players and teams built around star players.
