G2 CEO: "If we wanted to keep NiKo, we could have done so"
G2's CEO seemingly confirmed NiKo's impending departure and spoke about the organization's plans for the roster moving forward.

Alban Dechelotte, G2's CEO, has spoken on Nikola "NiKo" Kovač's rumoured upcoming move to Falcons, seemingly confirming the move and giving some insight into G2's future plans for the roster beyond the Bosnian's transfer. He made the comments in an interview with MGG France.

The interview was wide-ranging, touching on many aspects to do with the G2 organization as a whole, but portions touched on G2's CS team specifically.
Dechelotte stated that while G2 have the option to keep NiKo, their recent recent signing of Mario "malbsMd" Samayoa was made with future-proofing in mind. "Because he has several years left on his contract, we could have done so," he said of the possibility of keeping NiKo with the team. "If we did, it's because we consider that this is a moment, perhaps an amount, perhaps a phase for this roster, where it's the right decision.
"But the fact that we signed malbs in July, when he's playing the same positions as NiKo, maybe it's a bit of an anticipation of what's to come, and maybe we're already working on who will replace malbs in his anchor position, and he could move into the positions that NiKo will be leaving at the end of December."
Dechelotte also, according to a translation by French insider neL, commented on the future of Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov, emphasising that the Russian is currently part of G2's roster plans. It is widely known that m0NESY specifically values playing with NiKo, and there has been speculation suggesting that the AWPer may depart G2 alongside NiKo.
"In any case, he [m0NESY] has a contract of more than a year," Dechelotte began. "It's up to us. For him to leave, we'll have to accept that. I think he has a special relationship with NiKo, he's been his mentor, he admires him a lot, NiKo helped him a lot in his career.
"But today, he's also the best player in the world, and he has an opportunity to become the leader of the roster in his own right. So we're working on what the G2 CS roster will look like in the future. For us, Ilya is at the heart of the project."
