JACKZ and ritchiEE join Project G

The French veteran is free to explore opportunities on the side while providing much-needed experience to the organization-less roster.

JACKZ finds a new team after being sidelined from TSM in January

Audric "⁠JACKZ⁠" Jug and Richard "⁠ritchiEE⁠" Mestdagh have joined Project G, linking up with Sean "⁠eraa⁠" Knutsson, Arek "⁠Vegi⁠" Nawojski, and Erik "⁠truth⁠" Hansen Dyrnes on the organization-less roster coming into the Fall season.

The move marks a return to activity for JACKZ, who has been without a team since he was benched from TSM in January following the organization's failed effort to qualify for PGL Major Copenhagen.

TSM sign trio to complete Danish roster

The 32-year-old Frenchman was released from TSM in April but didn't find a new team during the tournament break, although he was registered as a surprise substitute for Cloud9's BLAST Premier Fall Groups roster.

ritchiEE joins the team after an extended period of inactivity, with his last recorded official dating back to September 2023. The European combine stated in a follow up post that it is "looking for tournaments and invites," but have no officials currently scheduled on HLTV.

Project G is:

Sweden Sean "⁠eraa⁠" Knutsson
Poland Arek "⁠Vegi⁠" Nawojski
Norway Erik "⁠truth⁠" Hansen Dyrnes
France Audric "⁠JACKZ⁠" Jug
Belgium Richard "⁠ritchiEE⁠" Mestdagh

Norway Kristian "⁠akez⁠" Kornbakk (coach)

doesn't matter if they have sponsors, or do you really think they play for fun and without pay?

looks like they are looking for an org, there is just no chance they don't get paid through either sponsoring or whoever is behind this project.

my brother in christ they dont have an org. its just some guys with no team who got together so they can play some tournaments. same way other players get together and play as "Looking For Org" its the same thing, they are not getting paid if they would be getting paid already, why would they be looking for an org then?

Yo les noobs, This Jackz (and Amanek) downfall is actually sad to watch, less than 3 years ago they were playing in a Major Final in the most competitive Major we've ever seen. They can't have dropped off THAT bad... Also I hope Ritchiee shines and a decent roster picks him up, this guy is a diamond.

Something about that G2 system seemed to suit them perfectly. Another case of players being much better when in a certain system but can't do nearly as well out of it

amanek got done dirty the most. Because he was an entry, then an AWP and they just benched him when they got m0nesy, instead of moving amanek do entry/anchor role and benching jackz.
