Liquid vs G2 prediction — BLAST Bounty 2026 S2

Key factors

• Liquid’s Vitality upset was not isolated; they followed it with a decisive 2-0 over G2.
• Liquid controlled both maps, winning Anubis 13-6 and G2’s Mirage 13-5.
• Liquid’s top end/second line outperformed the thin G2 baseline read, with EliGE and Jorko leading the series.

Notes

Final result verified as Liquid 2-0 G2: Anubis 13-6 and Mirage 13-5. Our G2 55% thin favorite pick was incorrect; Liquid now has two meaningful current-event wins and should receive a temporary BLAST Bounty form/role-stability boost, not a permanent team upgrade.

Momentum

Liquid have the strongest single-match momentum signal after a 2-0 over Vitality, but G2 retain the better baseline with a 3W-2L recent profile and a 2-1 opening win over Nemiga; our recent G2 pick was correct, but the three-map Nemiga result still keeps this as a thin edge.

LAN form

Online stage; both sides are being evaluated primarily on current-roster online evidence and recent high-level samples, with no permanent carryover boost.

Psychology

G2 are the higher-class side and our prior G2 read did not fail, but Liquid’s Vitality upset creates real pressure-transfer risk; this remains a thin favorite pick rather than a confident brand pick.

Key risks

• Liquid’s upset over Vitality may indicate a real current-form jump, not just variance.
• G2 needed three maps against Nemiga, so the favorite has an early-tournament warning sign.
• Liquid’s roster/role picture is still fresh, making both upside and instability unusually high.
