G2 launch academy team

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:

Romania Mihai "⁠fNk⁠" Costache
Estonia Enri "⁠xezr⁠" Jõgi
Uzbekistan Artur "⁠hitori⁠" Palyants
Lithuania Vilius "⁠tAk⁠" Keserauskas
Serbia Dušan "⁠d0jca⁠" Dojčinović

Serbia Nestor "⁠LETN1⁠" Tanić (coach)

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

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.
