G2 Esports player Nathan "leaf" Orf reflected on the team's 1:2 loss to Paper Rex at VALORANT Champions 2026, pointing to missed opportunities on Haven as a major reason the series slipped away.

The defeat marked G2's sixth consecutive loss to Paper Rex .

Haven comeback falls short

G2 recovered from a difficult start on Haven and eventually tied the map at 11:11.

leaf highlighted a late two-versus-one situation as one of the key moments G2 failed to convert.

He said the round came down to a lack of focus, with G2 unable to capitalize despite putting themselves in position to complete the comeback.

Paper Rex won the final two rounds to take Haven 13:11 before closing the series on Lotus.

G2 remain alive in Group C and will play the winner of TYLOO against Team Liquid in the decider match.
