We talked to Richard 'shox' Papillon of G2 on the day following their early elimination from ESL One New York in order to hear how the team was coping with their losses and planning for the future.

G2, despite being currently ranked #3 in the world, found themselves quickly eliminated in eighth place at ESL One New York following crushing losses to Astralis, Liquid, and OpTic.

We found time to talk to team star Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon on the final day of ESL One New York to get a grasp on how the team was feeling, his thoughts on the new Valve pause rules, and the team's busy schedule.

You will be able to find all of our interviews from ESL One New York on our YouTube channel here.
