kioShiMa to stand in for G2

G2 have announced that Fabien "⁠kioShiMa⁠" Fiey will be standing in for Richard "⁠shox⁠" Papillon at two upcoming events.

The 25-year-old Frenchman will be stepping in to fill in for G2 after shox was reportedly benched following a lackluster team performance at the StarLadder Major and is now looking set to join their French rivals Vitality.

kioShiMa has not been active in the professional scene since leaving Cloud9 after a three-month period with the North American organization, which saw the Frenchmen depart following the conclusion of the Katowice Major back in February.

kioShiMa is set to stand in for G2 for two events

With kioShiMa set to return to the server after a period of inactivity, G2 have disclosed that the rifler will be standing in for ESL One New York, as well as the GG.BET Beijing online qualifier.

kioShiMa's first game in G2's colours is set to kick off at 17:15 against One More Time in the qualifier for the event in China. Despite the rumors, nothing has been revealed regarding Lucas "⁠Lucky⁠" Chastang's position in the team, with the 21-year-old continuing to represent G2 as of now.

kioShiMa's addition means G2 will for now be playing with the following roster:

France Audric "⁠JACKZ⁠" Jug
France Kenny "⁠kennyS⁠" Schrub
France François "⁠amanek⁠" Delaunay
France Lucas "⁠Lucky⁠" Chastang
France Fabien "⁠kioShiMa⁠" Fiey (stand-in)

France Damien "⁠maLeK⁠" Marcel (coach)

He was benched, but Lucky must have agreed to stay and stand-in for these two events. Relieves a lot of pressure from G2 so they don't have to find another player.

If he is on contact, its his job to play for the team if he is called upon by the org unless he has good reason for absence, just like any other regular job...

That's not how that works. If a player wants to remain benched and refuse to play, he may do so. He can't be forced to do it. There have been NUMEROUS instances of this, though it all depends on what was written in the contract, which we can't legally know.

Read again, he clearly talking about the present and he’s actually correct. Talking about present time - bringing up false historical stats = polish logic? I don’t think polish people are stupid (quite the opposite), but you are.
