HooXi has been dropped from G2 Esports' Counter-Strike 2 starting roster, marking a major change to the team's lineup. The move follows the recent addition of Mario "malbsMd" Samayoa, who was originally set to replace Nexa.
Thank you, HooXi
HooXi joined G2 in the summer of 2022 after transferring from Copenhagen Flames. His tenure began with challenges almost immediately, with the team failing to qualify for the IEM Rio Major upon his debut. During his time with G2, HooXi received a lot of criticism from fans and analysts, often focused on his individual stats.
This scrutiny intensified after several more losses, with many CS2 diehards calling for his removal. HooXi also made headlines after sparking controversy over his team’s refusal to take a photo with a fan holding a Ukrainian flag at IEM Katowice—a decision the rest of the roster made to avoid political implications following an earlier incident involving a Russian flag.
