NiKo claims G2’s captain Hooxi gets ‘unfair’ treatment from CS:GO fans

G2’s CS:GO in-game leader Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen has been criticized more than any other captain over the past year since he joined the team in August 2022, but for NiKo—the team’s superstar and arguably most influential player on the roster—HooXi doesn’t deserve all the heat.

Each time G2 lose, fans are quick to write on Reddit or other social media that HooXi needs to be kicked, especially if he finished the game with poor individual stats. Some analysts, mainly Aleksandar “kassad” Trifunović, have also said more than once that HooXi shouldn’t be leading G2, especially after they didn’t qualify for the IEM Rio Major in 2022 and failed to reach playoffs at the BLAST Paris Major in May.
