Two Exits

JackeyLove’s Teams Have Ended Caps’s Worlds Twice

IG beat his Fnatic 3–0 in the 2018 final, and TES knocked his G2 out 3–1 in last year’s quarterfinal.

G2 vs TES at MSI 2026, their latest meeting

The Take

Caps did get one back in July, when G2 beat TES at MSI. Worlds has been a different story, though. In 2018 Fnatic won two group games against IG, then lost the one that counted. Nobody goes home tonight: both teams are 1–1 in the Swiss stage, so the loser of this best-of-one drops to 1–2 and lives on.

Overheard

“Personally, I think that Fnatic is a mid-carry team. So if they can't win the mid matchup, they have a high chance of losing. Since I think that Rookie is on the upper side, it's going to be tough for them to win against us.”
