Recently, in a shocking move, G2 has decided to bench JKS in favor of their former IGL nexa to take his role. But is this move's only purpose to find another anchor, or perhaps the start of a much larger roster shift to remove Hooxi? Today we'll be discussing the implication of the nexa move for G2 and what it could potentially mean for G2's future.

Great video like always
Persoanlly think that jks got benched due to money. JKS is definetly an expensive player compared to nexa
definitely a factor, if not the main one, but now we have to see if this perhaps was the best decision
If money matters they should announce the bench news earlier to let other orgs bid for him in this transfer period, so they could get more money from his buyout. Honestly I just don’t understand why they did all the things wrong like that.
Money was never an issue for g2 😂😂😂
@@thomaskoster300 Trust me it is. all esport orgs struggle with money
@@xlgapelsin6173 not all, g2 is one of a few orgs that seem to profit at all, liquid being the most profitable afaik
Two amazing channels. Love seeing these analysis type videos from both of you guys. Keep it up! Would love to see more videos with both of you guys on them as well.
A wonderful video. I feel like you could go into a bit more detail about Hooxi's calling style in comparison to Nexa though
I would love to, but if I were to do that, I would want to compare their styles during their tenures on G2, and G2 tends to be a bit more egalitarian in their calling than most other teams because of their talents so IGLing styles seem to be a bit more muted than say, boombl4 vs zeus on NAVI
@@WaTzu oh absolutely, but I think there's still room for analysis there. Especially on the back of Nexa's interview with Thorin. It's an interesting mix of momentum calling from Hooxi, with man management and ego-control, compared to a more traditional space-taking IGL mindset with Nexa.
Not telling you how to make content though. You're fucking amazing as always, and I'm just some guy with an opinion! ❤️
Saw Thorin's video with Nexa and the answer to whether he will IGL or not is pretty much no. He said that he doesn't have the attitude to tell people off and if he'll ever return to the role it won't be anywhere in the near future. I believe that if HooXi gets cut the move for G2 would be to get another IGL like Siuhy or someone else.
At the start you should include Jks stood in for ropz at first so that role wise it would fit (thats why twsitzz recommended him), jks did a ok job, but the real phenomeno is when he stood up for rain as an entry while his whole carrer jks was passive player and he delivered massivly
thats what happens when karrigan is IGLing. hes done the same with worse players than jks.
I think he did more than ok, bro he left playing tier 1 cs let alone katowice in front of the crowd filling ropz shoe, twistzz knows his talent despite knowing he didn't play for many months he still went for him instead of other active players
Ngl I wish his would play more aggressively. He has such good multi frag potential.
Nexa said on Thorin's podcast that he didn't want to igl. Maybe he's not truthful, but still, I'd take that into account
i wouldn't doubt him, but i would also consider the possibility that G2's PR team wouldn't want him to say he wants to IGL to make it seem like they have no interest in replacing Hooxi
Nexa said he never wanted to IGL in his old teams, so i doubt they are replacing hooxi as the IGL with him.
yes im super sick :( videos will slow down for a bit as a I recover and get finals done
Loving your vids man.
I honestly believe that one of the reasons may be the desire to create a Balkan super team, so moving Nexa in would get them 60% there. Add YNk as a coach, and you're there.
Too late for that! Taz polish Virtus.Pro player is now head coach. Starting next year I think.
he is serbian and niko and hunter are bosnian
1:33 What version of ancient is this with the cave opening towards the bomb site?
its a clip from csgo, so its old
The first release of ancient
I think G2 will replace Hooxi with a real anchor with nexa coming back as an IGL. like I don't think Nexa will be able to replace JKS as an anchor. JKS is actually a very good anchor that fill on other "dirty works" role. And that's I think what makes JKS really important to G2. So I think they will get another player that will fill that role that no one to do. like being alone on a position and defending it without calling help. well, for me, unless you get player like Magisk, Maden or Sushj it will not make any sense.
Nexa is known for his fragging ability and doesn’t want to be IGL, they will probably stick with this team
@@pingupungo3365 Probably, but I still think JKS was a better choice as he can give the trhee star trio the space they need to do whatever they want to do. Well we are not the one to decide so we hope JKS will find another team quickly
@@htkaze6092 he needs to prove himself tbh in a team that isn’t with Karrigan
@@pingupungo3365 I think what he did with G2 was good enough to prove himself. Not as a star player but as an all-round player that actually do whatever the team need him to do.
@@htkaze6092 He was the best he’s ever been standing in for Faze, he has not performed great in G2
JKS FOREVER
Jks the jiggle peeking Kato MVP Chad, and it was SPUNJ not twistz loll I'm sure he'd want that to be known😅
G2 are in CCT struggling with Sprout so OG nexa is a downgrade.
@@sn1pe34 downgrade is an understatement. Complete utter garbage baiter noobxa
So I follow G2 quite a bit with JKS at least. Hunter calls most ct side games. Hooxi calls t side. Hunter and swani prep ct, hooxi t. I think you are spot on though, they are probably feeling nexa out as a player before inevitably replacing hooxi. I'm just not sure why the hell they did the roster change in such a way which basically screams money. But maden replacing hooxi said from overdrive. Bruh, idk man. Seems risky. Especially since monesys stats are better with hooxi.
I think the maden move was mostly made in anticipation that m0nesy would replace shiro on C9, but yeah I agree 100%
According to Thorin, it was Hunter that wanted jks off the team
could you do a vid of aleksib?
i Think i can see nexa working but hooxi will need to be replaced however the treatment of ghosting jks left a sour taste and so i will no longer watch their matches.
my guess is that jks is gonna be sold or replace hooxi in the future
No one replace gigachad
dont get blown up idjot
I loved G2, when they added Hooxi (a crap player, but a decent IGL)
and JKS a solid player who clutches well
So what's up with OG now
Random thoughts:
1. G2 need to recoup some funds for matching falcons contracts so they are selling jks while his stock is high
2. G2 know HooXi is bad so they are benching jks so nexa can get a feel for the team before they bench HooXi and bring back jks so the igl can get a good understanding of the team’s culture and play
Random thoughts while procrastinating a project lolol
Agreed, just sucks that they had to get rid of these players this way of this was their intention
1 is most probably not true atm, if u see the recent developments in G2, they have merged with the V1 ownership and has currently fielded a lot of new teams in like 4 esports (dota2, cod, etc)
aint no way u do all this and tell me you need a budget cut on one of your most successful esports teams in csgo
i think it is hard for them to get back jks...now most teams done with roster change.....but literally all top teams swap here and there, for sure some of it will not work out and those teams will grab jks when they change roster again in another 3-4 months
here after nexa benched and Hooxi still on G2 xD

Fast forward to today, JKS was far better .
skill wise jKS beats nexa no way around it nexa has more experience but jks also has plenty i would choose jks overall because the aim is where he has the edge but not by a long distance so not big win or lose
Honestly the reason that this roster move isnt optimal is just due to the fact that jks was doing fine and actually i think nexa is as good as jks. Not better or worse, just as good. But now G2 have to practice and go through a whole other grind with a new teammate and just practice. As this is common with just about any roster move. Its just unnecessary.
It’s been confirmed that Nikos salary wasn’t an issue for g2/jks, fortunately 🙏
G2 never matched falcons contract 😂😂😂
What is main reason of bench jks,guy?
G2 and JKS haven't said anything yet, but most think it's because G2 had to spend an insane amount of money to keep NiKo from going to Falcons, so now they are trying to cheap out a bit on their roster
@@WaTzu i mean did g2 even announce a new contract? because if they really signed NiKo to a new contract they would announce it to the world
Is it just me or does this guy sound like fl0m? XD
'I really dont think that nexa wants to quite IGL'ing'
nexa has said for a very long time that he doesnt want to / like IGL'ing. He didnt want to call on OG but he sort of had to because he was able to fit that role. He definitely wants to stop IGL'ing.
Also one thing you failed to mention. You are comparing jks on a 67% win rate G2 vs nexa on a 33% win rate OG. Losing very frequently and ofte by big margins seriously hurts your stats. Its more naunced than just looking at a floored hltv 2.0 rating.
my idea of the move nexa is shit
the thing is jks always played the shittiest positions so the cousins could shine and have opportunities, and now since jks is gone g2 doesn’t have any good anchor player and you can clearly see the effects
Team chemistry is very important as well. Clearly that these players on G2 have the best connection with Nexa because he was their igl. Which is why Nexa is the better player in a point of view.
@@Mastergenius_ “team chemistry is better” my ass, have you not seen how they’ve performed recently? if nexa’s team chemistry with g2 is soo good then why have g2’s performance dipped lower since 2023? it’s not an issue about whether team chemistry was good or not it’s about the individual performance and impact difference between jks and nexa. there was no team chemistry issues between jks and G2, it was just G2s management making the decision to cut costs by letting go of jks and feeding more into nikos contract, well in my opinion that is, overall if you ask, most people will say jks was a better option than nexa.
@@imalemon3841 I guess you didn't see the ESL G2 stats, they're actually improving. The reason why the G2 with jks was winning was because of teams in 2023 were not good. Now we have so many good teams so don't compare the previous roster with the current one.
@@Mastergenius_ you’re kidding right? by “esl stats” do you mean esl world ranking? because i can’t find a single link on google where you can compare 2023 g2 to current g2, would appreciate it if you send me the link, although i’m certain you’re just bullshitting. if G2 improved so much then how come they’re losing to t2 teams like mongolz and m80? i didn’t mention liquid since they’re a rebuilding t1-ish team, but unless you live under a rock you would know G2 won kato, blast world finals and cologne last year, how are they better now? don’t give me the “tHe TeAmS nOw ArE jUsT BeTtEr” excuse only improved teams i can find is spirit and maybe navi (although i would say navi lost s1mple so they got kinda worse-ish??), G2 had probably the biggest fall off a team has had in just mere months.
@@imalemon3841 bro said they lost to M80 and mongolz but making fun of me for saying the teams just got better.
making his name in vox eminor*
Not to be biased but:
jks>nexa
Nexa is better than JKS… when it comes on salary.
true
better than kendrick and baby keem
he is better for niko
Lol
i think jks is better than nexa
lfg wa tzu 8)
no, G2 get nexa is tier 3 team for sure
Nah you're wrong. They're tier 4 you clown, you know nothing about CS
