JaCkz and Lucky join G2; SmithZz and Ex6TenZ benched

The former 3DMAX duo Audric "⁠JACKZ⁠" Jug and Lucas "⁠Lucky⁠" Chastang have been officially announced by G2 and will take the place of Kévin "⁠Ex6TenZ⁠" Droolans and Edouard "⁠SmithZz⁠" Dubourdeaux.

The G2 project with Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon at the helm that began in June and saw SmithZz return to activity after a stint as coach and Ex6TenZ take the reins of the team as in-game leader has come to a close as the aforementioned duo have been substituted by Lucky and JACKZ.

G2 played a decent event in Cologne, where they went out in 5-6th place before securing a spot in the Challenger Stage at Katowice with a 9-11th place at the FACEIT Major in London. They were since unable to get the results needed at ESL One New York and cs_summit 3, however, resulting in changes to the roster.

JaCkz will be one of the two new additions revamping G2

The French duo that now join the ranks of G2 hail from 3DMAX, a team in which they managed to turn heads making it to the FACEIT Major’s Europe Minor, winning ESEA MDL Season 28, and qualifying to this season's ESEA MDL Global Challenge LAN as well as the MDL Grand Final, where they will play for a spot in next season’s ESL Pro League.

JACKZ, a 26-year-old French player who has made the rounds in his local scene and is well regarded for his skill, and Lucky, a 20-year-old hybrid who can play with both rifles and AWP, will have a couple events to get a feel for their new position as they will play DreamHack Winter and PLG Grand Slam before the year ends.

With these two changes, G2’s lineup is now:

Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon
Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub
Alexandre "⁠bodyy⁠" Pianaro
Lucas "⁠Lucky⁠" Chastang
Audric "⁠JACKZ⁠" Jug

Damien "⁠maLeK⁠" Marcel (Coach)
Edouard "⁠SmithZz⁠" Dubourdeaux (Substitute)
Kévin "⁠Ex6TenZ⁠" Droolans (Substitute)
