<\/p>\nIn the group stage of IEM Dallas 2025, the experienced G2 will face the ambitious Asian squad Lynn Vision. For the European powerhouse, it\u2019s a chance to regain confidence after recent setbacks, while Lynn Vision aim to prove they can compete at the highest level.<\/p>\n
G2 enter the group stage of IEM Dallas 2025 in inconsistent form. Over the past three months, they\u2019ve played 51 maps and won 30. In April, they competed at the PGL Major in Astana, where they finished in 9th\u201311th place. Their recent results have been shaky: just two wins in their last five matches \u2014 against M80 and BIG \u2014 with losses to NiP, ODDIK, and MIBR. These results suggest internal issues, possibly related to individual form or difficulties adapting to unorthodox opponents.<\/p>\n
Lynn Vision, on the other hand, are on an upward trajectory. They\u2019ve won 35 out of their last 50 maps. In April, they won the ESL Challenger League Season 49 Asia-Pacific and finished 2nd at the Hero Esports Asian Champions League 2025. In their last five matches, they claimed three victories \u2014 against JiJieHao, The Huns, and NinJa \u2014 and lost to TYLOO and JiJieHao in a rematch. The Chinese squad is showing solid preparation and consistency, especially within their region.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a best-of-three series, each team bans one map, then picks one, followed by another round of bans, with the remaining map as the decider.<\/p>\n

This will be their first head-to-head encounter, and it will serve as an important indicator of how well an emerging Asian team can handle a top-tier international opponent \u2014 and how G2 respond to a team with a less conventional playstyle.<\/p>\n While Lynn Vision are in better form and boast high win rates across several maps, much of their success comes from regional competition. They rarely face teams of G2\u2019s caliber, and it will be difficult to dictate the pace against such experienced opposition. Despite their recent inconsistency, G2 possess superior individual skill, deeper international experience, and a clear edge on key maps.<\/p>\n Prediction: G2 to win 2\u20130. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the group stage of IEM Dallas 2025, the experienced G2 will face the ambitious Asian squad Lynn Vision.
