G2 Esports performed strongly in their match against Sentinels, especially on attack. They had a high success rate when attacking, winning most of their rounds by taking control of the map early and executing well-planned strategies. On defense, however, their performance was weaker, with fewer rounds secured. This highlights a possible gap in their ability to hold sites and adapt to Sentinels’ aggressive plays.
While their attacking side was a clear strength, G2’s defensive struggles could become a concern in future matches if they don’t address it. Balancing their defense with their impressive attack will be key moving forward.
Sentinels
| Map | Win% | W | L | Atk RWIN% | Def RWIN% | Agent Compositions |
| Split | 100% | 1 | 0 | 75% | 50% | Breach, Omen, Tejo, Yoru, Viper |

In Sentinels’ match against MIBR, their performance showed strong defense across most maps. On Lotus and Abyss, their defensive rounds stood out, with consistent success in shutting down enemy pushes. On Split, they balanced their defense and attack well, maintaining steady control. However, Pearl highlighted some struggles on defense, with fewer successful holds than other maps.
Offensively, Sentinels showed resilience, especially on Abyss and Split, where their attacking rounds effectively broke through MIBR’s setups. Overall, their ability to adapt and perform on defense played a key role, though Pearl revealed areas for improvement.
Current Team and Players Form
G2 Esports
G2 is looking excellent so far. They excelled in so many different ways from the other teams, from their strategies to their player’s performance, it all clicked for G2. This is by far the best shape they ever looked in. Talking about their players’ form and performances, it is safe to say that adding Jawgemo to the team was a perfect idea alongside Leaf; they make the ideal squad; the whole NA scene fears them, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if G2 Esports wins NA Kickoff.
Sentinels
Surprisingly enough, the Sentinels are looking sharp right now in their match against MIBR. The whole team had a reboot and performed terrific in their last match. The Sentinels are known for their comebacks and eventually winning the whole thing, just like they did back in Masters Madrid, but will they be able to do the same thing this time with G2 Esports?
Match Prediction
It’s a tough match, and the championship is on the line. It’s a close game, but we think G2 will win and claim the NA Kickoff title. This final goes live on February 8th at 2 PM PST.
