They came crashing down in Stage 2, eliminated by the current Team BDS Team BDS Inactive bramz Bayram Ben Redjeb in Stage 2: Challengers 1, and failed to qualify for the second event, being knocked out by the team they will now represent.

It's been known for a while that G2 would be at the heart of a European shuffle by signing these three players. After being one of the top forces of 2020 and having a disastrous 2021, the team hopes to recover their spot as a title contender by reformulating much of their lineup, starting with the second LVP Rising Series event.
