December 23, 2021

G2 Esports G2 Esports Inactive have finalized their 2022 roster with Johan "Meddo" Renbjörk Lundborg, Aaro "hoody" Peltokangas, and Daniil "pipsoN" Mesheryakov.

G2 Esports

@G2esports

Time to make Champions. 👊

WELCOME @hoodyVALORANT, @MeddoVAL & @pipsoNgg!

The Giants Gaming Giants Gaming Inactive Redgar Igor Vlasov Fit1nho Adolfo Gallego nukkye Žygimantas Chmieliauskas hoody Aaro Peltokangas Cloud Kirill Nehozhin trio made a name for themselves in the closing stages of the 2021 VCT. In Stage 3, Meddo, hoody, and pipsoN elevated the team to a new status as they took second place in Challengers 2. Giants would later place top six in the EMEA Challengers Playoffs, one map away from Masters: Berlin, being eliminated by G2. Giants closed out the year with a third-place finish in the Red Bull Home Ground #2.

G2, after reaching Masters: Berlin, were unable to find enough points for direct qualification to Champions. In the EMEA LCQ, G2 were only able to go as far as third place. In the Home Ground tournament they failed to make it out of the group stage, at which point G2 started trialing players.

As part of this move, G2 have benched Cista "keloqz" Wassim. The Frenchman has been allowed to explore options while he sees his contract end. Former coach Neil "neilzinho" Finlay's contract has also expired and he is now a free agent.

G2 Esports G2 Esports Inactive 's 2022 roster is:

Aaro "hoody" Peltokangas
Johan "Meddo" Renbjörk Lundborg
Oscar "Mixwell" Cañellas
Auni "AvovA" Chahade
Žygimantas "nukkye" Chmieliauskas
Maik "MaikTurtle" Löffler (Manager)
Daniil "pipsoN" Mesheryakov (Coach)

Yeah. I don't understand why are people underrating this team so much. G2 kept both nukkye and Avova who are some of the best players in their roles and signed 2 players + coach from team that was competitive against best of EU. And obviously kept Mixwell that I'm still 50/50 with. Like would people be more happy if they signed some unknown Jett OTP and unknown sentinel or what?

some of their fans wanted bigger names like nats or cned thats why , hoodie and meddo are good just not big names like cned or nats

Why tf would people expect to see nats and cned on G2 or 100T. 0% chance that either of those players leave their highly successful organizations while still receiving great pay + prize money with them.

in this guy's defense, there was the report about cNed looking to move away from Acend (doubt it, but possible). Nats I never see leaving Gambit, unless they flop next year.

Omg you just gave me a possibly epic idea for a Valorant agent: a LAWYER. Maybe he would look a bit like the Nintendo lawyer Phoenix Wright and one of his powers would be to yell OBJECTION that would stun nearby players or destroy their superpowers (like imagine a Sage facing the lawyer. Sage does a wall but the lawyer yells OBJECTION and the wall crumbles…). His other power would be yelling I REST MY CASE, not sure yet what that would do. I give this idea to the world. For FREE (If riot wants to make this character, I will not ask for anything in return). You are welcome!

This is incorrect. The reports stated that cNed hadn't resigned with Acend yet. That does NOT mean he wants to leave the team.

That’s what the rumors say it would be a way better option than ec1s for 100T imo. He also rejected Heretics after passing the tryouts, so I’m sure he knows what he is doing.

It’s also funny how Davidp it’s succeeding a lot more than when Excel benched him or Meddo from when FPX benched him

G2 has a really good support line but I am kinda worried about Mixwell’s role in the team. EMEA is a really strong region and I don’t think he can pull off the duelist igl. I think from an interview he said he was comfortable with not being that Star Jett due to pressure and being more supportive and focusing on his game but idk it could work again

They've already changed all of their rosters except Mixwell, just because he has a huge fanbase of kids in latam and Spain. G2 will be a tier 2 team until they bench mixwell

Because world's best teams are all from there and within the remaining 1% you'll find the lowest of the low regions (asia and so on) so I don't see how is that an achievement really. It's basically
Eu >>>>>>

Brazil >>

other regions

Godsent and Sharks both placed last as well

"they are not washed yet" LMAO, they all are fkcing washed getting hyped up by some br famboys thinking their star players gonna win some shit again, and if u dont know about Perú in esport maybe u need to check DOTA2, and BR just "exist" in CS and in no other game kekw
