m0NESY’s departure from G2 has left a massive void they look to fill with Polish AWPer Olek “hades” Miskiewicz until the end of June.
With a lack of top AWPers in the market, G2 had no choice but to sign a loanee who would stick with the roster until the Austin Major. Having played with Snax in ENCE, hades has the seal of approval of his IGL. Starting with IEM Melbourne, hades will continue with this G2 side till the Austin Major.
With NiKo already gone, m0NESY’s departure has stripped this G2 side of serious firepower out of this G2 side and it is clear that as soon as the loan period is over, G2 will be looking for a top sniper to join them as they are arguably the most crucial piece of a CS team, without which competing for titles becomes significantly harder.
G2 is now:
- Janusz “Snax” Pogorzelski
- Nemanja “huNter-” Kovač
- Mario “malbsMd” Samayoa
- Nikita “HeavyGod” Martynenko
- Olek “hades” Miskiewicz
It goes without saying, hades cannot fill m0NESY’s shoes, and this roster move would require a massive tactical overhaul across the board. While malbs and HeavyGod are the heavy hitters, and it seems difficult to move them out of their roles, Snax and huNter will likely be the ones taking the burden of integrating hades into the team.
Hope of accolades continues to look bleak for this G2 side, but now that hades finally has a team that is capable of contending for trophies, we might get to see the best of him that ENCE was unable to bring out.
