HooXi set to enter free agency in 2025

The Dane will be able to join a team on a free transfer in the new year.

HooXi will no longer be tied to G2 in 2025

G2's former in-game leader, Rasmus "⁠HooXi⁠" Nielsen, will be a free agent on January 1, 2025, the player has announced, and he is still on the lookout for a new team to join.

The Dane also stated he's open to all offers, but "the most important aspect is an interesting roster with strong potential!"

HooXi interview: Benching, dealing with criticism, and post-G2 future

HooXi has been on the sidelines since July, when he was benched on G2 in favor of Polish in-game leader Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski.

The roster change that put him on the bench came after G2 had a dry spell in the first half of the year, except for a championship run at IEM Dallas, which they won with Jake "⁠Stewie2K⁠" Yip standing in for the Danish in-game leader.

HooXi's best year was 2023, when he led G2 to IEM Katowice and IEM Cologne trophies after his first Big Event victory with the team at BLAST World Final in late 2022.

Contract jail? Believing that G2 wouldn't have sold him for any amount >0 is a bit delusional imho.

My point is: Nobody is willing to offer a single dollar, because G2 would have surely taken the literal dollar for in exchange not having to continue paying his salary.

In many cases the "jail" is just that the player themself would rather keep getting his paychecks while on the bench than go work for it somewhere else.

Why tf would falcons sign him? They tried a snappi before dont think they would take one more
2024-12-26 17:44

1 reply
Falcons have nooo trouble rotating players until they basically get the top 5 in the world assembled into one team that much is clear. Snappi is so catastrophically bad atm that hooxi after 6 months on the bench is probably an upgrade. So from that lens, it would make sense. Mostly because they're already starting fresh next year so the move would be less dramatic. And the PR would give them some more interest.
