Aleksib benched; may leave G2: “I’ve been allowed by G2 to explore my options elsewhere”

Finnish CS:GO in-game leader Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen is on his way out of G2’s lineup after just six months.

The announcement was made by Aleksib himself and comes following yet a disappointing performance from G2, this time at IEM Cologne. The international powerhouse were knocked out in the early stages of the $1 million tournament and apparently, it cost Aleksib his job. He was brought on from OG in January 2022 to replace Nemanja “nexa” Isaković and lead G2 to win tournaments, but has been benched without winning a single one.
