Last saturday G2 Lucas Rojo (Actual analyst of the team) told Universo Valorant that G2 roster is going to change after Red Bull Home Ground 2. Some Spanish analysts have pointed to G2 Neil as the main protagonist of the change, due to some statements that Lucas Rojo himself or players like Mixwell have given about the technical inefficiency suffered by the team. Others have talked about Nukkye or Kelowz due to their low role changing ability. What do you think guys?

And there another problem, mixwell stopped performing since the arrival of keloqz, he has not been able to adapt to the role of sentinel. If I had to choose between the keloqz jett and the mixwell one, I would go for mixwell, as it has a much better operator and knows better when to be aggressive and when not. Personally I would let go of keloqz and koldamenta. Bringing in a good sentry like pAura or Meddo and a player who can play sova while maintaining his firepower like russ or shao.
I would choose mixwell too, but he has to improve with his jett ults. The problem with paura is that his english level is very low and that would be a big barrier to express an idea to the team, anyways I really liked Meddo in Giants path through the last challenger and EMEA finals (it would be a 50/50 for him to play at the same level since it's completely a different style of play), and about shao I'm pretty sure he's untouchable to FPX and russ would be amazing as always
i really think they should give jett back to mixwell but if they arent, shao is a good shout, but yeah he's most likely untouchable. derke will be a good choice too i believe but yeah probably consider as an untouchable player for fnatic, juseu, musashi or kadavra could also be an option. paura is a good shout for the igl role (kolda did a good job tho i believe), maybe ange1, draken or fearoth(maybe) could also be a shout for the igl role. for meddo i think giants consider him as an untouchable player because he's been great for them. maybe russz, shhhack, leo, amilwa or even monsteerrr
well:
- Nukkye won't be dropped because he's good
- AvovA won't be dropped because he's good
- Keloqz could be dropped, but for who? He hasn't been too bad and the only upgrade i could think of is kennyS but he's quite unproven still
- Mixwell has been the worst player on the team recently, so from a competitive perspective it might make sense to replace him. However doing this would mean G2 would lose 90% of their fanbase so I think it's unlikely
- Koldamenta is the second least impactful player imo recently besides mixwell, and mixwell has shown the potential to carry the team in the past while kolda hasn't. And there's quite a few good sovas that could potentially be bought: Leo, Shao, Cloud, to name a few. So imo if they're making a player change he's the most likely to be dropped
- Neil would make the most sense imo because G2's really been lacking in the tactical department, at least to my low-elo eyes. Not sure if this would count as a "roster change" though, but idk maybe it was worded differently in spanish
- LRojo could go but he said this so it's probably not him lmao
So they want to remove nukkye and keloqz (the current best players with avova) and the coach, to keep koldamenta (spanish), mixwell (spanish), and lrojo (spanish).
A suggestion to G2 is to recruit based on performance and not popularity/participation to talkshows if they want to win. Could help them in the long run to not turn this team into some sort of spanish mafia.
Anyday Keloqz > Mixwell. Only worst thing Keloqz has is he is very nervous. I don't see they replace Keloqz' jett with Mixwell because Keloqz is the future. Maybe they will try to improve his confidence with time and mentoring. They need to have a good Sova main but currently they don't exist in the market. Everyone is taken so that's why they don't do a roster change yet. Only option for a Sentinel is Pyth at the moment. But he is no good than Mixwell. G2 is having a bad time
G2 would be braindead if they made roster moves. keloqz carried them at Berlin and if they want to win a LAN, dropping keloqz would be a huge mistake. Obviously they aren't gonna drop nukkye or AvovA because you can't get an upgrade over them unless like ScreaM was available to replace nukkye. Mixwell brings in viewers and is a good support player who has only recently been underperforming and Koldamenta is a good IGL. If they make any changes, it should be on the coaching side of things because their roster is pretty much as good as it can get.
I don't know about Koldamenta's IGL ability but he is not a good player. Same as Steal. No wonder he was a former PUBG player. I think they won't replace Mixwell but they really need to replace Koldamenta because Mixwell and him both in the same team will make them weak. Every team has a weak player but having 2 of them is not gonna win anything. Coaching is definitely gonna be changed
