Surprise, the move no one believed would work… didn’t work.

Along with every other armchair analyst in the space, we jumped at the opportunity to talk about how kicking jks for nexa would never work. Now, that could be because you doubted if G2 had the playoff fraggers without jks, who was the biggest playoff riser in the world on G2. Or that could be because the vibes were off.

Point is, most people didn’t think it was gonna work.

So, when he joined and G2 was mid… no one was really surprised. So much so that, it became kind of accepted. Roses are red, the sky is blue and G2 bombed out in groups. (or quarters, but that didn’t rhyme.) Despite a trophy win with a stand-in, it was time for change. But who do you replace nexa with?

Well, that’s where malbsMd comes into play.

We already covered his potential move, but there have been updates. On the 18th, M80 announced malbs would be leaving the team, even if the video they used seemed more like they were announcing his passing. Don’t just take it from us, take it from one of the unsuspecting victims.

Anyway, with malbs out of M80, and nexa out of G2 it seems like this deal is all but done. Now we have to find out if this is all for G2, or if any more changes are on the horizon. Just signing malbs is fun, but it almost feels like the first piece of a whole new project.

Time will tell us if we’re wrong or if G2 is cooking something bigger. Maybe a meal fit for even snax.
