The Rocket League players of G2 Esports were very happy, but also a little speechless after the award ceremony of the RLCS major. "It feels incredible, I can't describe it," Massimo "Atomic" Franceschi said shortly after the final victory against Team Queso.

G2 made an impressive run at the Winter Major. In the autumn tournament, the US team was eliminated in the group stage, this time G2 survived undefeated. Also in the play-offs, G2 was able to keep the form well and played its way into the finals with victories against Furia and Spacesation Gaming.

For G2, the Winter Major is the first success at an offline tournament in Rocket League since the Eleague Cup 2017. "Someone at the hotel asked me earlier what I would do if I lost another final," Jacob "JKnaps" Knapman, who has been playing for G2 since the last tournament victory in 2017, said after the final. "We'll probably never find out.»
