sAw: "Right now it's like we're stagnating, or maybe even took a couple of steps backward"

Their latest loss to Aurora at PGL Masters Bucharest typified their recent form, as the European combine contested two close maps but ultimately lost. "There's no prize in getting it close and then losing," Eetu "sAw" Saha admitted when reflecting on his team's most-recent defeat.
"Tough matches, good opponents, and it's also tough the way we are losing some of the rounds. Obviously two losses, not the start you would want. What are your thoughts on G2's run so far in Bucharest?
It's been four close maps so far in two series. Obviously we lost 0-2 both of the series, and there's no prize in getting it close and then losing, so it's tough.
Tough matches, good opponents, and it's also tough the way we are losing some of the rounds.
Then in one of the rounds, 3v5, you have kyxsan at Sandbags getting a multi-kill when we're basically not on the same page about someone reacting, someone else not reacting, these kind of situations.
And yeah, giving them rounds when the score is so close, it's difference maker rounds a lot of the times and that's the way we are losing these matches.
Opinion
Fictional bylines. Each take uses a line above and adds no facts.
G2 Esports can stand on this line: "Their latest loss to Aurora at PGL Masters Bucharest typified their recent form, as the European combine contested two close maps but ultimately lost. "There's no prize in getti…" It is already on the card, so the case does not need a streak or a roster rumor.

The headline skips this: "Their latest loss to Aurora at PGL Masters Bucharest typified their recent form, as the European combine contested two close maps but ultimately lost. "There's no prize in getti…" That is the reading I would argue. The rest of the card does not cancel it.
