CSGO: G2 makes a roster change
G2 have swapped long-time team member and in-game leader Kévin “Ex6TenZ” Droolans for LDLC White’s Alexandre “bodyy” Pianaro, the organization has announced. Long-time member and in-game leader of various lineups playing under G2, Titan and VeryGames, Kévin “Ex6TenZ” Droolans has been relieved of his duties in the team after being a part of it since 2012. LDLC White’s Alexandre “bodyy” Pianaro has been chosen as his replacement. The number three team in France haven’t played a significant match since February 25, just before another one of their players, Timothée “DEVIL” Démolon, was signed by EnVyUs. The move comes shortly after G2 were unable to pass the group stage of MLG Columbus, for the sixth time in a row at majors in the Belgian’s case, following two losses to Virtus.pro as well as a one-sided win over Cloud9. Apart from the major, this year G2 garnered two 5th-6th finishes, at SL i-League StarSeries XIV Finals and GEC 2016, and third place at ESL Expo Barcelona Invitational. The change raises questions about the team’s leadership, but it has been confirmed that Richard “shox” Papillon will take over the in-game leading in Droolans’s stead. The team will debut with the new lineup at DreamHack Masters Malmö, which is set to start in less than three days, on April 12, and will run until April 17. There, G2 replaced fnatic and were placed in a group alongside Natus Vincere, CLG and GODSENT. [Source: hltv]
