HeavyGod: “The end of the season is upsetting and tilting, but it’s only a game”

HeavyGod: “The end of the season is upsetting and tilting, but it’s only a game”

After G2’s dramatic elimination from the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, rifler Nikita “HeavyGod” Martynenko released a candid statement on his Telegram (published in full by Cybersport.ru). He writes that the team’s season left him emotionally drained and “tilted,” even though he tries to remind himself “in the end it’s only a game.”

Key points from HeavyGod’s reflection:

He found it difficult to write the recap because he hadn’t processed the loss.

G2 “never reached the level we know we’re capable of.”

The team was “one step away” from unlocking their true potential.

He apologizes to fans: “Sorry to everyone who expected more.”

He ends with hope: “2026 has to be better.”

Budapest Major 2025: How G2 Fell One Series Short of Playoffs

G2 began Stage 3 with confidence, going 2–0 after wins against Passion UA and paiN. But the momentum collapsed:

Loss → FURIA

Loss → The MongolZ

Elimination → Team Falcons

The decisive series vs Falcons ended in a painful reverse sweep:

G2 vs Falcons – Final Swiss Elimination Match

Ancient: 13–9 (G2 win)

Inferno: 4–13 (Falcons win; m0NESY dominates with 21–4)

Dust2: 10–13 (Falcons close it out)

According to HLTV’s match report, Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov delivered a superstar performance that “transcended the server,” shutting down G2’s executes and leading Falcons into playoffs.

Instant reactions

HeavyGod on X: “m0NESY is just too good. We’re out — sorry guys.”

m0NESY on Telegram: “Very emotional game. We move on.”

The Only Trophy of 2025: BLAST Open London

Despite the Major disappointment, G2 secured a milestone earlier in the year at BLAST Open London 2025:

Grand Final: G2 3–2 Vitality

HeavyGod earned his first career MVP, finishing with a 1.25 rating.

It was G2’s first and only title of 2025.

In his HLTV MVP interview, HeavyGod said:

“Everyone says I’m too harsh on myself. I’m trying to be a perfect player.”

He credited coach Eetu “sAw” Saha for bringing structure, clarity, and the team environment that enabled his breakout.

G2’s 2025 Roster Storyline: From NiKo’s Exit to HeavyGod’s Arrival

G2 rebuilt heavily at the start of 2025:

NiKo moved to Team Falcons, forming a new storyline that came full circle when Falcons eliminated G2 at the Major.

HeavyGod joined from Cloud9 on 11 January 2025 to fill the rifler gap.

Additional roster tweaks and a coaching shift to sAw shaped the new identity.

This roster showed a high ceiling but low consistency, reflected in their uneven results and singular title win.

What’s Next for G2? Early 2026 Outlook

Based on HeavyGod’s statements, G2 internally believes they underachieved relative to their potential.

The organization now faces key questions heading into 2026:

Will G2 maintain the current core and double down on sAw’s structure?

Or will another roster move attempt to fix the inconsistency?

Can HeavyGod build on his MVP form and stabilize as a top-tier anchor rifler?

His closing message — “2026 has to be better” — signals both pressure and optimism for the year ahead.
