G2 had to dive into the depths of the Underwold to replace m0NESY.

According to HLTV, G2 are in advanced talks with Monte to bring in hades on loan, filling in for m0NESY, who’s on his way to Falcons very soon.

At first glance, this seems like a very questionable move, in typical G2 fashion.

But is it really? Honestly, we don’t think so.

For starters, anyone G2 signs to replace m0NESY is going to be a straight-up downgrade. Who would've thought replacing the best AWPer in the world would be a tough task?

Bringing hades in on loan gives G2 a solid, experienced AWPer – probably one of the best options they could've realistically landed at this point.

They get to test him out before and during the Major to see if he’s a good fit. If it doesn’t work out, they’re not tied down - they can let him go and explore a much wider market after the Major, where plenty more opportunities will open up.

Sure, G2 could take the high-risk, high-reward route and sign some inexperienced young talent like gr1ks or molodoy. But right now, they’re making the most sensible move, and we get it.

Never thought we'd be saying this about G2.

In the meantime, if the move goes through, it won’t be long before we see hades in action for what will be his first real tier 1 opportunity.
