G2 secured the services of Vitality’s CS:GO<\/em> head coach R\u00e9my “\u2060XTQZZZ\u2060” Quoniam to lead its team in 2022, according to a report<\/a> by French website 1pv.fr.<\/p>
The news comes one month after 1pv.fr reported<\/a> XTQZZZ was on his way out of Vitality at the end of the year. The French organization is bringing in former Astralis coach Danny \u201c\u2060zonic\u2060\u201d S\u00f8rensen and players dupreeh and Magisk. G2, on the other hand, has been looking for a new coach since the departure<\/a> of long-time coach Damien \u201cmaLeK\u201d Marcel following the PGL Stockholm Major in November.<\/p>
G2 have been playing under interim head coach Jan “Swani” M\u00fcller ever since. But NiKo already said in an interview<\/a> that the organization will announce a new coach and the lineup for 2022 at the end of 2021. It’s unclear if Swani will return to his analyst role or leave G2 with the arrival of XTQZZZ.<\/p>
G2 has already reportedly signed Natus Vincere’s young star Ilya “\u2060m0NESY\u2060” Osipov, according to 1pv.fr<\/a>, and is now in talks with current OG in-game leader Aleksi “Aleksib” Virolainen. Should G2 secure the services of the Finnish tactician, IGL Nemanja “\u2060nexa\u2060” Isakovi\u0107 would likely be the one leaving the active lineup to create space.<\/p>
