G2 team member Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov commented on his team's defeat against Vitality in the match for playoff qualification at BLAST Premier Spring Final 2024 in an interview with HLTV. Osipov stated that he could have done much more to avoid losing this match.
"I tried to mentally prepare myself for the match because I knew it could be tough, and I had a feeling that we might end up playing three maps. I don't know how to put it, but I had a premonition that we would lose the first map because we're not in the best form right now, and then come back on the second. I just tried to prepare mentally.
I tried to do everything for the team. I gave it my all, but I can't say I did everything, I could have done much more.
I had some time after we lost the first map. I had time to warm up—while they were going outside, I was just shooting bots. It was a crazy series, but I enjoyed it. Like I've said before, I'll do anything for this game, just to try to play the first map, or at least one game, or two games, it doesn't matter. This game is my life."
G2 lost 1:2 to Vitality in the group stage and exited the tournament, sharing the last place with SAW. Before this, the team had also lost to Team Spirit. G2 earned $10,000 in prize money for participating in BLAST Premier Spring Final 2024.
