G2 Moves malbsMd to the Bench

Esports organization G2 Esports has announced roster changes in its Counter-Strike 2 lineup. 23-year-old Guatemalan player Mario “malbsMd” Samayoa has been moved to the bench. The club reported this in an official statement on the social network X.

Samayoa joined G2 in June 2024, transferring from M80. During his time with the European organization, the player took part in several major tournaments. However, the team’s results have remained inconsistent in recent months.

According to statistics from the last three months, malbsMd has an average rating of 1.02 across 51 maps played. Despite relatively stable individual performance, the organization decided to make changes to the roster.

According to rumors, the next stage of the player’s career could be Team Liquid. Reports suggest that Samayoa may join the team in the near future. In turn, Guy “NertZ” Iluz is being considered as a replacement for the open spot in the G2 lineup. The Israeli player has previously competed on the international stage and has experience playing at a high level.

At the moment, G2 Esports occupies 12th place in the official Valve ranking of the strongest Counter-Strike 2 teams in the world. In the current season, the team has not achieved significant results at major tournaments.

The team failed to qualify for the LAN finals of ESL Pro League Season 23, finished 9th-11th at PGL Cluj-Napoca 2026, and placed 5th-6th at IEM Kraków 2026.

Current G2 CS2 Roster:

• Nemanja “huNter-” Kovač

• Nikita “HeavyGod” Martynenko

• Álvaro “SunPayus” García

• Matúš “MATYS” Šimko

• Eetu “sAw” Saha (Coach)
