🇧🇦 NiKo
🇧🇦 huNter-
🇷🇺 m0NESY
🇬🇹 malbsMd
The team is coached by the legendary Polish player 🇵🇱 TaZ, adding an extra layer of expertise and strategic depth.
Expectations and Reactions
The CS community has been buzzing with excitement and mixed reactions to this roster change. While some analysts and fans are thrilled about Snax’s leadership and experience, others have expressed concerns. For instance, Swiss analyst Maniac was initially skeptical about the decision, hoping that NiKo would take on the IGL role. However, he remains optimistic and unbiased about the potential of this new lineup.
Former FORZE coach also weighed in, stating that Snax is one of the best possible options for G2. Despite NiKo’s recent success in Dallas as a temporary captain, the consensus is that having a dedicated and experienced IGL like Snax will provide G2 with the strategic edge they need.
Snax’s Performance and Impact
In 2024, Snax has played 97 maps with a rating of 1.07 and an impact score of 1.00. His consistent performance and veteran experience are expected to bring stability and tactical prowess to G2, potentially making them strong contenders for upcoming majors.
Community and Expert Opinions
Danish analyst Pimp expressed relief that NiKo would not be assuming the IGL role, emphasizing that NiKo should continue to focus on being the star player. This sentiment is shared by many fans who believe that NiKo’s firepower is best utilized in a fragging role rather than the strategic leadership of the team.
On the other hand, veteran CS 1.6 player CEH9 criticized the decision, arguing that there are many young and talented players in the market and that G2’s choice to bring in a veteran like Snax might not be the best move. However, this opinion is in the minority as most experts believe in Snax’s ability to lead and inspire the team.
Looking Forward
With this new roster, G2 Esports is poised to make a significant impact in the competitive CS scene. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how Snax’s leadership will translate into team performance and whether this new lineup will finally lead G2 to major victories. The upcoming tournaments will be the true test of this revamped roster’s potential and synergy.
