G2 launch academy team

17-7-2024 19:17

Coached by LETN1, G2 Ares marks the organization's entry into the academy scene.

tAk and xezr both played at OlyBet Baltics Cup 2023, with tAk's team securing first place

G2 has launched an academy team, named G2 Ares, with former CR4ZY and c0ntact member Nestor "⁠LETN1⁠" Tanić heading up coaching duties for the young lineup.

Former Sprout Academy duo Vilius "⁠tAk⁠" Keserauskas and Mihai "⁠fNk⁠" Costache unite again on G2's academy roster, with the latter taking up leadership duties. 15-year-old Artur "⁠hitori⁠" Palyants and former sYnck member Enri "⁠xezr⁠" Jõgi completes the quartet of rilfers.

Dušan "⁠d0jca⁠" Dojčinović, who has never played an official on HLTV, rounds out the lineup as its AWPer, and will have some Serbian support behind him with LETN1.

The 31-year-old spent over a year abroad coaching TYLOO from May 2022 to September 2023, and will be in charge of G2 Ares as the organization looks to find and develop "the next generation of GOATs."

G2 Ares are:

Mihai "⁠fNk⁠" Costache
Enri "⁠xezr⁠" Jõgi
Artur "⁠hitori⁠" Palyants
Vilius "⁠tAk⁠" Keserauskas
Dušan "⁠d0jca⁠" Dojčinović

Nestor "⁠LETN1⁠" Tanić (coach)

exciting!

2024-07-17 19:33

coolest god

2024-07-17 20:20

My dog was named Ares (yes, after the Greek god) so it made me chuckle a bit

tbh its better than "x academy"

xezr looks like a wanna be goth twistzz

This team looks mid, but good for g2 overall

it's academy why would it be high tier

2024-07-17 21:01

for academy standards*

2024-07-17 21:09

Why LETN1? Is he good at cooking or cleaning somehow? Cause his coach experiences are not easy on the eyes.

Obviously the tyrannical Niko and Hunter told G2 management to hire him

2024-07-17 19:25

Crime solved, G2 learn nothing from the previous nexa addition.

2024-07-17 19:27

I'm sure niko is not only managing the main team, but also the academy team and the league of legends female roster

2024-07-17 20:24

Its a matter of time till emi gets involved in G2

G2 is a proud serbian/bosnian organization.

2024-07-17 21:44

Its called nepotism.

2024-07-18 02:05

hitori

2024-07-17 19:22

"⁠hitori⁠ 15 yo xd

Man I would hate to play with a 15 year old if I was 22 ngl.

2024-07-17 19:31

hahahha yes indeed

2024-07-17 19:35

Average player age - 19.7 nice academy, older than monesy

2024-07-17 19:23

2024-07-17 20:05

g2 sigma what would the lineup be

Sadokist, k0nfig...

2024-07-17 20:06

g2 sigma already >>> normal g2

2024-07-17 20:30

good for them. Honestly, all big t1 org should do that. Liquid and vitality scouting is kinda random

2024-07-17 19:24

This has been leaked for 2 months or more, lmao.

Letn1? Another serbian nepotism signing

2024-07-17 19:29

Nice, they already prepared a place to send Snax if something goes wrong

Where’s the guy that said they should be doin this on the forums like 2 weeks ago. I saw you

Why not 'Baby G2' for a name? It would fit better and org known for memes and making fun of themselves

2024-07-17 19:37

g2 arse better

2024-07-17 19:44

d0jca is a beast on faceit, I am curious to see how he performs in officials

2024-07-17 19:41

XEZRRRRR BEEAST

2024-07-17 19:54

no swedes lol

2024-07-17 19:55

ENCE, Young Ninjas, Spirit, NaVi and MOUZ NXT for example feels like they have much better chips. Yeah G2 has couple of good players, but I don't know... gl to them.

2024-07-17 20:12

d0jca is cracked lets gooo 🔥

2024-07-17 20:14

XEZRRR!!!!

2024-07-17 20:22

finally xezr gets what he deserves, insane individual, but gl to all the boys, huge!! i wish that weplay academy league would come back though

2024-07-17 20:33

doika?)

LEGGO FNK

2024-07-17 21:07

I was just thinking about it earlier today, G2 didn't have an academy roster I guess they do now LOL.

2024-07-17 21:42

2024-07-17 22:25

n1 !

2024-07-18 00:12

well at least fNK already has his future guaranteed, if he ever leaves this team he will 100% somehow join Nexus and become a gazillionaire so this is just a win-win for him either way

2024-07-18 01:02

U join nexus only if u want to 322 with them.

2024-07-18 02:04

i can see this team winning the major

2024-07-18 01:05

rare g2 w

2024-07-18 01:10

fNk is toxic 🗑 G2 common L.

2024-07-18 02:09

G2 hiring Letn1 is pure definition of nepotism.

2024-07-18 02:06

only exited for hitori, rest are players from dodgy teams

peca is not beating the serbian favoritism allegations. Results will speak for themselves tho maybe Letn1 is a good coach.

2024-07-18 10:29

lol ofc they sign some random 19yo serb

2024-07-18 10:31

KennyS acting skills - W

2024-07-18 10:37

Balkans took over G2

2024-07-18 12:52

21 y.o average age. Wtf this academy

2024-07-18 14:05

a bit late but i guess better than never, hard to get the super talents though considering most of them are CIS and will get insta poached by academies like Spirit who have insane scouting of the CIS scene.
