According to Sheep Esports, G2 Esports has allowed Martin “Yike” Sundelin and Mihael “Mikyx” Mehle to freely search for new stops without buying a contract. This will be the end of the European ruler in the past 2 years.
Yike and Mikyx are indispensable factors in the G2 squad when winning 5/6 European championships since 2023. Of which, Yike was honored by the rookie of 2023 and Mikyx was honored as the MVP of 2023.
At MSI 2024, G2 stopped in the semi-finals of the loss, after receiving a 0-3 defeat before T1. Coming to Worlds 2024, G2 was eliminated in the 2-2 branch of the Swiss round, after the 1-2 defeat against BLG.
The lucky draw of Switzerland may be unlucky, but their goal is to compete with the best teams in the world – regardless of whether they can go further or not. However, the current squad of G2 did not achieve the set goals.
While continuing to win European titles, G2 is not satisfied with the dominance in the region. After 2 years of not achieving international success, G2 made a bold decision to break up with two of his pillar players. According to Sheep Esports, the pressure on the replacement of Yike and Mikyx will be very large. Because they not only need to match the level of Yike and Mikyx in Europe, but also expected to bring G2 to a new level in the international arena.
