We may only be one day into the off-season but G2 have already kicked off rostermania with the benching of nexa.
The Serbian had only been on the roster for six months, his first LAN event with the team was at BLAST Premier World Final 2023.
It was a move that was poorly received by fans and experts alike at the time, largely due to the fact he replaced jks on the roster.
G2 have struggled for the most part in 2024. Although the team has frequently made the playoffs of events, they have only reached the final of one, IEM Dallas - an event they also returned home from as victors.
nexa has been heavily criticised during his time on G2, mostly due to his 0.98 HLTV rating in 2024 and similar profile to HooXi causing a perceived firepower issue.
nexa seems to be taking his benching in good stride, he has already said on Twitter that he is motivated to get back on the server on a new team.
G2 will now be watched very closely in the coming weeks, a report from HLTV and Dust2.us broke during BLAST Premier Spring Final presented by Revolut that the organisation is targeting M80's malbsMd.
