G2 Esports sniper Artem "r1nkle" Moroz shared his impressions of the victory over Aurora Gaming at the BLAST Open Porto 2026 tournament, evaluating key moments of the match and his current form.
The match ended in a 2-1 victory for Nemanja "huNter-" Kovač's squad. After losing on Anubis (7-13), G2 Esports managed to snatch a win on Inferno in overtime (19-16) and crushed their opponent on Mirage (13-1). As a result of this defeat, Aurora Gaming was eliminated from the tournament.
Analyzing the game on Inferno, r1nkle noted that the momentum on this map constantly shifted from one team to the other. He highlighted the opponents' solid preparation, as they managed to disrupt G2's plans in several rounds and even stage a small comeback. Despite this, the team was able to squeeze past their rival, securing their third consecutive win on this map.
Speaking about competing on the Tier 1 stage, the esports athlete emphasized that he takes the opportunity to play at the highest level extremely seriously. After spending some time on the bench, he is putting a lot of effort into practice and sees that this work is already paying off, so he plans to keep up the pace.
r1nkle explains his in-game initiative and frequent calls during matches as his natural playstyle. The player noted that he used to take on the shot-calling role often, temporarily stopped doing it later, but has now returned to active communication.
