G2 Esports appeared to be the favorite to win the ESL Pro League Season 18 but were thwarted by the resurgent MOUZ, who overcame them 2-1 in a fiercely contested series to take home the title in the final CS: GO LAN event in history. The German team shouldn’t be underrated despite placing fifth through eighth in Malta, as evidenced by their victories in the Intel Extreme Masters Cologne 2023 (first) and Gamers8 2023 (third–fourth).
