Media: SunPayus and sAw in talks to join G2 after Austin Major
The change would mark an end to TaZ's time as coach.

G2 are looking to secure the services of Álvaro "SunPayus" García and Eetu "sAw" Saha from HEROIC after the BLAST.tv Austin Major, according to a report from Sheep Esports. The deal is "pending Valve and BLAST confirmation," according to the publication.
The Spanish sniper and Finnish coach are said to have "reached a verbal agreement" with the German organization, which spent the first four months of 2025 reeling from the loss of Nikola "NiKo" Kovač to Falcons and is now tasked with filling the massive void left after Ilya "m0NESY" Osipov followed in the Bosnian's footsteps.
It is an unenviable and near-impossible task to replace the Russian prodigy, one which the organization's CEO told HLTV couldn't be done with "one trade of one player," but SunPayus would at least provide the stability, experience, and a significant portion of firepower to mitigate the loss.

The Spaniard, named the sixth-best player of 2023 by HLTV, has averaged a 1.13 rating with HEROIC in 2025, recently led the charge to victory in MESA Nomadic Masters Spring and the team's Europe MRQ run for the Austin Major, and helped secure a title win in CCT Global Finals over B8.
He would move to the team alongside sAw, who helped scout and build two championship-contending rosters for ENCE alongside Marco "Snappi" Pfeiffer from November 2020-2023.
The Finn's addition would mark an end to Wiktor "TaZ" Wojtas' maligned tenure as G2's coach that began in December 2023.
The Pole was criticized for being unable to consistently contend for titles with m0NESY and NiKo for much of 2024, and accused by fans and some industry members of being more of a "cheerleader" coach than one who offered tactical help — a perception not helped by several, "out-of-context" listen-in clips shared by tournament organizers on broadcast.
sAw would provide G2 with both tactical help and his scouting ability, the latter of which the organization is in dire need of as it attempts to rebuild.
The pair would not join until after the Austin Major, where G2 will use Olek "hades" Miskiewicz as a stand-in, and could potentially face their future organization with HEROIC also set to attend.

With the reported change, G2 could look as follows after the Austin Major:
Janusz "Snax" Pogorzelski
Nemanja "huNter-" Kovač
Mario "malbsMd" Samayoa
Nikita "HeavyGod" Martynenko
Álvaro "SunPayus" García
Eetu "sAw" Saha (coach)
