Okay, we believe Anders now, this has to be a simulation.

There is no other explanation for what we’re about to tell you, Stewie2K is going to be playing with G2. Okay yeah, sure as a stand-in for one event, because HooXi can’t make it. Okay and yeah it’s technically not confirmed Stewie will be the guy standing in, but according to Dust2 he’s on the list, and Stew himself has alluded to it already.

It’s not as insane when you factor in Jackz, who would’ve stood in normally, isn’t allowed to play because he signed up for the qualifier with a random mix. But still, Stewie?

Fortunately for us, not everything in the scene has gone bonkers, just look at NIP, back to being Swedish… WAIT NIP HAS GONE BACK TO BEING SWEDISH? Yes, sort of, yes and no.

NIP has finished the signing of Isak from GamerLegion, which means their HLTV flag is going to be Swedish again. But they’re not fully Swedish yet, since r1nkle and alex are on the roster. But we imagine Swedish CS fans don’t care, they have NIP back for better or worse.

For IEM Dallas G2 will field:

🇧🇦 NiKo
🇧🇦 huNter-
🇺🇸 Stewie2K
🇷🇸 Nexa
🇷🇺 m0NESY

NIP are now:

🇸🇪 REZ
🇸🇪 isak
🇸🇪 maxster
🇺🇦 r1nkle
🇪🇸 alex
