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.

NiKo is expected to move to Falcons after Perfect World Shanghai Major

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.

Media: NiKo to join Falcons after Shanghai Major

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."

also sadly confirmed monesy is in a contract prison with 3 deadweight players for another year... My faith is rather low that G2 will be able to rebuild and clean the house, it's rather common knowledge that G2's ability to scout and purchase proper players is one of the worst ones in the entire scene. *edit, 2 deadweight players and deadweight coach

I think Niko is going because deadweights are staying. G2 has to keep the core so they won't be able to replace deadweights even if they wanted to, which means rebuild will last too long for monesy to stay.

NiKo is going because he isn't nearly worth his salary. Snax or hunter might stay for a few events until the new core has enough Valve Ranking points to get invites to events.

Niko is worth his salary and more. There is one Niko, there has never been a single player who can replace Niko. Simple matter of economic, supply vs demand - there isn't a supply of players who can replace Niko. Without him, holes will start showing on just how much Snax and hunter are not compatible with T1 level.

teams with nike make playoffs, teams without him don't. honestly I was criticizing niko for a long time because I thought he was to toxic. But your comment does not make sense. As an org you rather play< 200 finals and lose, than playing 5 playoffs but winning one tournament. Also people like niko bring a huge fanbase, you you will sell lots of merch. should make up to sometimes losing a final.

hes still arguably a top 5 player this year. You probably only look at stats, i watch g2 games and niko is still very impactful- Sure he has off games recently but he also pops off. Hunter will often have about the same kills as niko but a lot less impact because hes getting easy kills.

I believe teams will start to realize that in CS2 you can't build a team around a star player but rather an all-rounder team is better approach. Of course if a player in that all rounder team is star player that is a bonus but not a necessity.

do you need a scout to tell you that Niko is the best rifler to ever touch the game and that you should bring him if you can afford him? If yes, then I am available for hire. monesy has been the hype of the life for months before talks with G2. G2 is unable to find players who fit, they are just buying players they think are good. You can't go wrong with those 2, but can we list other members?

Nexa's initial stats were close to JKS stats, considering Nexa had way worse roles that was a success when looking it in an isolated manner. And those are facts, that happened, Nexa was like 0.03 below JKS in rating when he just joined G2 (first two events I think). Nexa then proceeded to suck massively at which point no one said a good thing about him - it's quite rude for you to take things out of context to fit your narrative. At least be precise when you claim you remember things in order to insult someone, twisting what I said for your toxic narrative makes you look petty.

Thats why contracts have different lengths. He could have demanded a 3 year contract to keep his options open.

I'm not talking about m0nesy's contract. Or anyone specific in that matter. I'm talking about you calling the term contract prison ridiculous. If they knew that things were about to go south, they wouldn't sign in the first place, regardless of the length of the contract. That's why it's called a prison. People will lose several years of their career in a "contract prison"

lemme guess you also could've built an era defining roster yet you signed a coach that never coached and an igl that last igl'd and fragged when inferno was still the cs source port with fog

5 events 1 win 1 2nd place 1 quarter 2 groups exits as new igl with new player who wasn't an anchor and never played t1 cs + washed ass hunter. I wouldn't be too disappointed with those results considering they hadn't won a trophy with hooxi in a year at that point

You are wrong here, selling Niko will give them crazy money, also Niko's salary that is prob crazy rn will allow them to invest more. Safe to say m0nesy will be the best payed one in G2 but that will still allow them to explore more young players for less money

the only time they spent serious money recently was the malbs signing and that was done with the knowledge that niko is leaving and the money already almost in the bank i don't think you understand that niko's buyout, after covering malbs', allows them to sign ONE star to have a shot at replacing him and even the 'best of the rest' from the available options on the market is nowhere near this level

if they can manage to get Jimpphat and siuhy, or at least one of these two, they can easy be a top1 team. A fragging Igl with good calls can make up for a leaving star like Niko, at least they will play 5 v 5 and not 4 v 5

I don't mind niko leaving G2, i kinda don't like that he will split with hunter and especially monesy. They had good chemistry imo. I think G2 can live withou niko, but falcons would have to completely change roster to actually make the team work great. Magisk and dupreeh are really out of T1 for a while now (and they won't come back). Said it many times, after all the time he spent in G2 he's leaving now, when it actually makes least sense. I believe both sides will regret it, but niko more imo. Unless falcons are building absolute stupid good all star team behind closed doors.

Ofc they wouldnt run double awp every round thats stupid but there are many instances where you have the chance to do it by either buying it when you do have the extra money or picking it up from the enemies. U forgetting that those 2 are also insane rifle players.

I know that, but like Vadik said, it is unlikely that any of the two would give up the awp and it would also be a waste having two awp specialists that are good on the rifle instead of getting a goated awper and rifler respectively. Would be cool to see, but it most likely wouldn't work out.

There are insider reports that Vitality has shown interest in Jimpphat and maybe even had talks with him & Mouz. When asked, Jimi didn't deny (nor confirm) those rumours. Also, selling players is how Mouz operates, so it all makes sense.

Don't be mad at the CEO. This is just NiKo wanting more money, and no other ORG can compete with Saudi's oil money. NiKo another sellout.

Damn actually b1t would be the perfect deal to make since him and monesy are so close. b1t into anchor for malbs who swaps to niko roles. Done deal.

Maybe, Maybe, if, if...yea sure buddy... And m0nesy isn't the best player in the world.... This article made me laugh so damn hard. No wonder that this team is a joke in term of signings and stuff if this guy is in charge

So they had the option to keep NiKo but they decided against it? Are they out of their mind? NiKo is insane, there is absolutely no way that I can imagine the roster getting better without him. If G2 really had the option to just keep him, and decided not to, their managment should be in prison really.

Imagine the money the get for him and even they won some Events, they are Not even close to the succsess they should have with this Team, so a change + the money seems to be a good decision.

I don't think G2 really should make any changes tbh., ofc. there is a lot of parts in this lineup that are questionable, but they won a trophy so early into the lineup, and overall they really fumbled just one event at Rio, I'm not a fan of ever making changes to a team that can still win trophies, and NiKo is a true star rifler, like, idk., overall letting go of NiKo no matter how much money you will get will most likely make your team worse.

G2 will buy krimbo for niko and tabsen as IGL for snax. That could work around monesy and Malbs.

Lets not waste time. Liquid +m0nesy +another tier one rifler -ultimate -yekindar. Another way is let ultimate rifle and secondary awp. Ultimate rifling has been more consistent than yeki. Im sure twistzz can help m0nesy develop further as a player

Sad to see considering G2 are seemingly peaking at the right time for Shanghai and are top contenders to win the event. I'm sure G2 will be kicking themselves if they win the major but lose Niko afterwards. He's one of the best riflers in the world, he'll be almost impossible to replace.
