VCT Game Changers Championship 2023 is very close to its end. Day 5 had two exciting matches lined up, both elimination games, which meant the stakes were high. The second match of the day was between the former Champions, G2 Gozen, and Brazil's Team Liquid.
These two teams faced off against each other as the event started with their match. In that Bo3 (Best-of-three) series, Team Liquid took quite a beating and lost by 0-2 to G2 Gozen. However, in this rematch, Liquid was highly prepared and outplayed G2 Gozen at every turn, taking revenge by winning 2-0 and eliminating G2 in the process.
After the match, Sportskeeda Esports' Sneh Jadhav got the opportunity to talk to G2 Gozen's Sarah, during which she said,
"I was nervous going into every game"
