Team G2 Esports Makes a Strategic Shift in Roster

In a recent development that’s stirred the esports community, G2 Esports has made a significant change to its roster by benching the Australian player Justin “jks” Savage. This news was confirmed by close sources and reported by prominent esports outlets HLTV and 1pv.fr.

A Return on the Cards for nexa?

Adding to the buzz, there’s a potential comeback brewing for Nemanja “nexa” Isaković. Previously a member of G2, nexa’s return to the team could be a strategic move as the team searches for a strong player to take on jks’ anchor role. With nexa’s contract with OG set to conclude before the year’s end, this could be a timely acquisition for G2.

NiKo’s Surprising Stay

In what was an unexpected twist, Nikola “NiKo” Kovač has decided to stick with G2. This decision comes after considerable speculation that NiKo was on the verge of joining Falcons, indicating a dynamic period for the team’s lineup.

jks’ Legacy and G2’s Current Lineup

Justin “jks” Savage joined G2’s active roster in August 2022 and has been pivotal in the team’s success at prominent tournaments, including the BLAST Premier World Final, IEM Katowice, and IEM Cologne. Despite his contributions, the current G2 roster post-benching is as follows:

Nemanja “huNter-” Kovač (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Nikola “NiKo” Kovač (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov (Russia)
Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen (Denmark)
Jan “Swani” Müller (Germany) – Coach
Justin “jks” Savage (Australia) – Benched

What This Means for G2’s Future

The restructuring of G2’s roster is a clear indicator that the team is looking to recalibrate and strengthen their competitive edge. Whether nexa rejoins or not, the team’s fans are eagerly awaiting the next phase of G2’s esports Journey. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
