Counter-Strike<\/em>‘s Smoke Criminal is back. North American player Stewie2K will make his CS2<\/em> LAN debut next week at IEM Dallas after receiving a call-up from G2, with captain HooXi ruled out due to personal commitments.<\/p>
His addition to G2 on a one-off basis has been hinted at for weeks now<\/a> but it was finally confirmed after the team’s roster was revealed<\/a> for the ESL CS2<\/em> event on May 17. G2 later made the announcement official on X (formerly Twitter)<\/a>, adding that HooXi was ruled out due to a clash with his sister’s wedding. “I wish I could be in two places at once!” HooXi said, adding that he will be chipping in from home throughout the event where possible.<\/p>
