We saw this tournament as a big test for us \u2014 to see if our read is right on the team, to see if our gamble of making a roster change with such a good team was worth it \u2014 and these early signs are a good indicator that the future is bright for us, because I still think there\u2019s more for G2.\u201d<\/p>\n
