G2 Esports just locked in the Warzone Resurgence crown at the Esports World Cup with a gritty 11-map grand final that went down to the wire and five squads still alive on match point. The stable trio of Anziety, Bigman, and Cythe stuck together through the slumps, flipped last year’s 17th-place nightmare into a 26-kill clincher in Game 11, and walked away with $250k plus 1,000 Club Championship points. Anziety snagged MVP and an extra $25k while the team posted the highest kill total in the final at 150 across the bracket.

Cythe put it plain: “I’ve been playing with my team for the past four years, last year at EWC we almost got dead last, and for this year, just to prove all the doubters wrong, it doesn’t feel real, it’s crazy.” Bigman echoed the redemption arc, noting the storyline “was meant to be” after hitting rock bottom. They entered as underdogs after a February signing to G2, posted solid but uneven results all year, then dropped 235.2 points in group stage for second in Group B and rode top-three finishes early before weathering a mid-final dip to seal it.

This isn’t just a trophy for the boys—it keeps G2’s Club Championship hopes breathing since they missed top eight in VALORANT and League, and Falcons, the preseason favorite, finished dead last with zero points. The inaugural Warzone Resurgence Series wrapped with LAN stops in Birmingham and Atlanta plus online quals feeding into this finale. Stable roster finally paid off when the map demanded it.
