G2 Esports CSGO coach explains bomb defuse fail at Berlin Major StarladderCS:GO G2 Esports coach Damien \u2018maLeK\u2019 Marcel provided a hilarious excuse as to why his team didn\u2019t defuse the bomb in their StarLadder Berlin best-of-one match against Astralis on August 29. As we reported, G2 pretty much gifted their opponents a victory in their Nuke matchup. Even after they were able to kill each member of Astralis, the bomb still went off. The failure was so epic, even G2\u2019s CEO and founder, Carlos \u2018ocelote\u2019 Rodr\u00edguez chimed in by parodying compLexity owner Jason Lake. \u201cI love our players but not defusing the bomb won\u2019t be tolerated,\u201d he joked. \u201cIf you\u2019re a Tier 1 player looking for a fresh start at the best facility in the world, HMU. I\u2019ll pay your buyout and give you the world\u2019s best salaries and defuse kits.\u201d Now, G2\u2019s coach has revealed what was going on to lead to such a brutal mistake. Interviewer Sue \u2018Smix\u2019 Lee asked maLeK what was going on with that \u201cdefuse situation or lack of a defuse\u201d. \u201cI heard that you cannot find it on G2\/shop,\u201d the coach replied, joking plugging his team\u2019s store. \u201cIt happens. It\u2019s an exotic,\u201d the French 33-year-old added, explaining how the team\u2019s communication wasn\u2019t so good. Clearly for no one to defuse the bomb, the team was lacking both awareness and proper comms. How else could such a thing ever happen? Well, as the coach continued, he explained. \u201cWe were like in the middle of a dark place. Not communicating well. Not applying the game plan as according. And all those things and I don\u2019t know, you just, I don\u2019t know,\u201d he shrugged. \u201cWe were just not so focused for some reason, having many things in our minds probably. Nothing else to say actually.\u201d G2 Esports currently sits at 2-1 while ENCE and NRG sit atop of the rankings at 3-0. The team managed to come back from their embarrassing loss to Astralis with a 16-4 win against MiBR. Their next match is against AVANGAR on August 31.
