Who will be the new G2 Esports player? Ideal candidates to replace HooXi
The 2024 inter-season transfer window has given us a welcome change that the entire community has been asking for for a long time. Captain Rasmus HooXi Nielsen left the G2 Esports roster. Now Nikola NiKo Kovac can finally become a full-fledged IGL, and the team has the opportunity to find a stable supporter for the vacant position. In this article we will discuss the best candidates for the G2 Esports roster.
Ilya Perfecto Zalutskiy
The most ideal option for G2 Esports is Ilya Perfecto Zalutskiy, who left Cloud9. The Russian is one of the most stable defensive players and one of Ilya m0NESY Osipov’s friends. The only question is knowledge of English so that the player can communicate with the team and understand Nikola NiKo Kovac’s calls.
This position is also supported by the captain of Team Spirit – Leonid chopper Vishnyakov. On the live broadcast, he noted that Nikola NiKo Kovac will most likely become the captain, and the ideal candidate for the team is Ilya Perfecto Zalutskiy.
Justin jks Savage
Also a great candidate for G2 Esports is Justin jks Savage. He was in the reserve of the organization for quite a long time and never found a new team. Bringing the player back won’t be that difficult, and he’ll fit perfectly into the right positions. But the Australian’s exclusion from the squad is shrouded in mystery; perhaps he had a conflict with one of the players. If they are still on the roster, Justin jks Savage’s return becomes impossible.
Kristian k0nfig Wienecke
Kristian k0nfig Wienecke, who left the Ninjas in Pyjamas roster back in February, could also join the G2 Esports roster. After Complexity, the Dane’s career did not work out: he did not achieve success either in Astralis or NiP. However, Kristian k0nfig Wienecke remains one of the strong players on the professional scene and clearly wants to return in the new season. Among the disadvantages of this transfer, it is worth noting the complex nature of k0nfig; he several times got into scandalous incidents and even fights.
Jake Stewie2k Yip
After winning IEM Dallas 2024, Jake Stewie2k Yip can fully join G2 Esports. He has already played with the team instead of Rasmus HooXi Nielsen and is familiar with the team’s inner workings. However, returning to the tier-1 stage after a long inactivity will not be so easy. But the American does not close this opportunity to himself and streams CS2 every day. This transfer is unlikely, but this option definitely cannot be rejected.
Ayush mzinho Batbold
G2 Esports have already surprised us with the signing of Mario malbsMd Samayoa, a player not from the strongest region. However, the surprises may not end there. You can expect anything from G2, so their entry into the Asian scene cannot be denied. The strongest band in this region is The Mongolz. If we take any player from the Mongolian team, the choice will fall on Ayush mzinho Batbold. The player showed an excellent level of performance at YaLLa Compass 2024 and is one of the most promising midfielders. He is only 17 years old and speaks English, so he can be considered as a candidate for G2 Esports, although the likelihood of this transfer is extremely low.
Rigon rigoN Gashi
Another of the less obvious options for G2 Esports is Rigon rigoN Gashi from the former Guild Eagles roster. After the roster was disbanded, he still hasn’t found a new home and hasn’t gone to play Into The Breach with his two former teammates. In addition to possible interest from G2 Esports, BIG is thinking about signing the player. Rigon rigoN Gashi and Guild Eagles did not appear at major tournaments, except for the Major, but at the Valve championships they performed consistently for a long time and surprised the main favorites. This option for G2 Esports is extremely controversial, but it is also possible.
Whoever joins the G2 Esports roster, these changes will have a positive impact on the team’s performance. Rasmus HooXi Nielsen has not played a single tournament for the club with positive statistics and the decision to kick him has been asking for a long time. The last straw was a pass to IEM Dallas 2024, which the team managed to win with a stand-in. Nikola NiKo Kovac is capable of becoming a good captain and will definitely cope with the task. These changes will also help Ilya m0NESY Osipov to reveal himself even better. While we are waiting for official information from G2 Esports, we are already expecting an improvement in the team’s results next season.
