G2 Esports opened their VALORANT Champions 2026 campaign on Thursday with a 2-0 win over TYLOO in Group C, played in front of a home crowd in Shanghai.
Dot Esports reported that G2 needed only two maps to take the series, sending them to the winners’ side of Group C. TYLOO had been expected by the local crowd to beat a team they trail in the power rankings.
G2 fielded jawgemo, BABYBAY, trent, valyn, leaf and splash for the match.
The series was the second of the day at Champions Shanghai. It followed Paper Rex’s opening win over Team Liquid.
