Sources: G2 seek Snax replacement as huNter- targets IGL role

The European giants are in the market for a new player in the off-season.

G2 are scouring the market for a replacement for Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski as Nemanja "⁠huNter-⁠" Kovač is expected to take over as in-game leader after a disappointing season, multiple sources have told HLTV and Croissant Strike.

G2 have wasted no time in drawing up a list of potential replacements, with Kacper "⁠xKacpersky⁠" Gabara understood to be high on that list of targets. The 18-year-old has averaged a 1.15 rating since joining ENCE from Young Ninjas in October 2024.

huNter-'s transition to an IGL role should come as little surprise. In September 2024, he revealed in an interview with James "⁠BanKs⁠" Banks that G2 had asked him "five times at least" since he joined the team to take over as an IGL. "But I didn't want to accept," he said at the time.

And earlier this year, it became known that Ilya "⁠m0NESY⁠" Osipov and huNter- were doing most of the calls on the CT side, freeing Snax up from that responsibility as he was playing anchor positions.

G2 are currently in the middle of a roster overhaul after a frustrating season that saw the team make deep runs only at the BLAST Bounty 2025 Season 1 Finals and at PGL Bucharest. The latter was m0NESY's final tournament with the team before his high-profile transfer to Falcons.

G2 finished out the season with Olek "⁠hades⁠" Miskiewicz as a stand-in, placing 9th-11th at PGL Astana (which huNter- missed because of visa issues), 7th-8th at IEM Dallas and 9th-11th at the Austin Major.
