Report: G2 to sign Giants trio

eutalyx

November 25, 2021

G2 are preparing to introduce Aaro "hoody" Peltokangas, Johan "Meddo" Renbjörk Lundborg and Daniil "pipsoN" Mesheryakov, according to Dexerto's Arran "Halo" Spake. Jakub "frs" Czapran first reported the information.

keloqz and koldamenta were officially inducted into G2 as part of a massive overhaul the team went through prior to Stage 3. The changes placed G2 back on top, as they finished second in their first VCT main event with the revamped roster, following that up with a fourth-place finish in the Stage 3: Challengers Playoffs.

Despite finishing the Berlin LAN in the top four, G2 didn't acquire enough points to qualify for Champions, which meant they had to play the Last Chance Qualifier. There, G2 finished third after losing to Guild 2-0, missing out on Champions. Following this, former analyst Lucas "Rojo" Rojo was the first to allude to changes, followed by Žygimantas "nukkye" Chmieliauskas addressing tensions on his stream.

Giants recently announced they had "reached an agreement" with an unspecified organization. According to Dexerto, Meddo, hoody, and pipsoN are heading to G2. The first two players will be replacing keloqz and koldamenta, while pipsoN will fill the role of Neil "neilzinho" Finlay, whose contract ends in December.

The three members come off a hot finish to the year under Giants' banner, reaching the EMEA Challengers Playoffs. In their final tournament, Red Bull Home Ground #2, Giants placed third.

G2 Esports G2 Esports Inactive 's active roster should become:

Oscar "Mixwell" Cañellas
Auni "AvovA" Chahade
Žygimantas "nukkye" Chmieliauskas
Johan "Meddo" Lundborg
Aaro "hoody" Peltokangas
Daniil "pipsoN" Mesheryakov (Coach)

He is a very good player and he has never gotten any success. When on G2, the team did well at first but just fell off like tsm, also his dad died I think during a match(sadge). On Excel, the team was just never good. And on Giants, he was starting to get some success but I guess this happened.

G2 literally lost one game to Heretics in First Strike and he immediately got benched for it, he didn't get booted because "they fell off like tsm", g2 became eu tsm because they kicked their igl after one game and didn't even replace him with an igl so mixwell had to entry as jett and igl at the same time

Not exactly what happened, Davidp level became terrible, maybe because of his personal issues (Remember an FPX vs G2 game we’re Davidp had to leave because his dad passed away, it really didn’t have anything to do with him, but you can’t play the same right after that) or maybe it was another thing who knows. So yeah his level really dropped, Excel was awful, and it was with Giants when he got back to a tier 1 level.

If I'm not wrong davidp was never the igl of g2, it was mixwell even tho he was on jett, mixwell have said that david was a good 2nd caller in mid rounds situations

Giants had a great opening with this roster but they were not that good against top teams. I think they were going to be the next G2 who fell off from a good start

a few months ago, mixwell said that he dont want to be igl again, i think that hoody could be the igl

According to hitboking (vgia content creator, close to the team), pipson can easily teach anyone in the team how to igl. Pipson probably has already an image of how he wants to manage the team and the roles.

Isnt Meddo similar to Mixwell? Now they still don't have a good Jett, so what's the point. Mixwell back on duelist will set you back further

Fiti is fucking cracked as Jett, i haven't seen Hoody as Jett but just remember that all pro players can play what ever agent, but in a promatch, mastering the agent is what makes the difference

Hoody is better than fitinho on every agent. But fitinho can't play anything other than jett/raze

#55

Because Hoody can flex and Fiti can’t, same reason why he is now in G2 and Fiti is not

if there was no internal problems then this is a pretty dumb move

G2 initially just wanted pipson, but pipson wanted to bring those two with him or he wouldn’t sign. Hoody is a beast but I think there was better options than meddo

Paura might not have worked because of the language barrier. Meddo was also fragging pretty well on giants so he actually seems pretty good.

Not sure about Kolda, but Keloqz was expected, he is not having the impact that Jett should, and he is undisciplined picking and pushing situations he shouldnt.

Not a fan at first sight but doesn't matter what they do they'll end up winning so whatever.

The previous iteration was supposed to last longer but unlucky internal issues between teammates.

Seems like Pipson had a saying on who to bring as well

Year 2025, Carlos buys every good EMEA player, G2 has 73 players in the bench ready to stand in and as the last standing team in EMEA they auto-qualify to Champions. Bomb out of there and with all the shortcomings tired Carlos decides to buy Rito so he can have all the trophies to himself first.
