The smoke criminal strikes again! Counter-Strike fans are elated with G2's massive win at IEM Dallas, and Stewie2k stans around the world are showing their pure excitement. The sight of him raising the trophy with his head held high has surely shut down the haters, letting everyone know that old Stewie is back in business.

Many were skeptical when G2 announced that Stewie2k would be subbing in for them, with a good portion of the community even claiming that he was past his prime. And now, the results speak for themselves. Stewie2k has undoubtedly been G2's second wind and we can expect them to take the fight to everyone.

The X user @diegoab___ has boldly dubbed this momentous victory as 'Absolute Cinema'.

After a long hiatus, the community finally got to see peak Stewie at a CS2 tournament and it is safe to say that, not everyone had this on their bingo cards for CS2 in 2024. X user @Web3Adam perfectly showcases how out of left field this was for a lot of people.

Some fans have even taken this opportunity to poke fun at G2's inconsistencies over the years. G2 has fallen short of winning many times in recent years, but not in Dallas. They have been crowned the 100th IEM champions, thanks in large part to Stewie2k's return to form on home soil.
