The rumor unfold by Twitter account CSLeaks on Could 24 that G2 is parting methods with in-game chief HooXi after their lackluster efficiency on the BLAST Paris Main has sparked dialogue within the CS:GO neighborhood on whether or not HooXi deserves to be eliminated or not—and each side have made good factors.
The leak in query additionally has HooXi’s theoretical substitute lined up for G2: Kamil “siuhy” Szkaradek, the younger captain of Main finalists GamerLegion.
HooXi has been G2’s IGL since August 2022, and though he did not qualify them for the IEM Rio Major in November 2022 and to get them by means of the BLAST Paris Major Legends Stage in May, he additionally led G2 to win the BLAST Premier World Remaining in December 2022 and IEM Katowice in February. Earlier than the Dane arrived, G2 as a company was winless for 5 years, because it had not gained an enormous CS:GO match since DreamHack Masters Malmö in 2017, which some followers have considered.
“Why would they substitute an IGL that gained two tournaments in a row and clearly has potential with the crew,” one fan wrote on Reddit. “I do know HooXi will get a number of hate, however how would it not differ from siuhy? Like each would nonetheless have insane gamers and all that it brings is pointless change. Truthfully simply stick to HooXi, see if they will carry out, with no different Main this 12 months see if G2 can elevate extra trophies and if the downfall continues, do the change.”
Though followers have good arguments to defend HooXi’s management, the identical can’t be mentioned of his particular person type. The Dane is averaging a subpar 0.87 ranking in 2023 in line with HLTV, and was one of many lowest-rated gamers of the BLAST Paris Main with a 0.81 ranking. The Dane can also be 28 years previous, so it’s unlikely that he’ll be mechanically higher at this level in his profession.
Siuhy, then again, would offer a big firepower increase to G2. The 20-year-old Pole is averaging a 1.06 ranking this 12 months, in line with HLTV, and averaged a 1.04 ranking from the BLAST Paris Main Legends Stage onwards whereas going through a number of the greatest groups on the planet.
“Individually he’s horrible,” one fan wrote on Reddit about HooXi. “With all of the firepower they’ve, they simply want an IGL who can maintain his weight individually and never overcomplicate issues.”
It’s all simply rumors for now, but it surely’s seemingly that some greater organizations than GamerLegion will come knocking for siuhy after he led them to the grand finals of the BLAST Paris Main. And G2 may very well be one in every of them, contemplating its lack of endurance with IGLs up to now.
