G2 Esports slammed after reportedly ghosting jks for weeks before shock CS2 benching BLASTG2 Esports\u2019 management has been slammed after reportedly ghosting jks for weeks before his surprise benching amid CS2 roster moves. Amid the Counter-Strike 2 roster shuffles which have been happening throughout November, G2 was making headlines as many of their star players were reportedly fielding offers from other teams, notably their star player Nikola \u2018NiKo\u2019 Kova\u010d was set for a blockbuster move to Team Falcons. And amid the roster shuffles, it was reported by HLTV that fan favorite Justin \u2018jks\u2019 Savage was getting benched, in favor of bringing back their former IGL Nemanja \u201cnexa\u201d Isakovi\u0107. However, the benching wasn\u2019t as smooth as most would like, as according to CS caster and former teammate of jks, Chad \u201cSPUNJ\u201d Burchill, jks was allegedly ghosted for weeks before his eventual ousting from the roster. Clip starts at 55:50 G2 Esports\u2019 management reportedly ghosted jks before his benching Speaking on the Talking Counter podcast, SPUNJ criticized G2\u2019s handling of jks\u2019 benching, saying, \u201cThe leaks comes out about [jks] getting benched, G2 don\u2019t announce anything for two weeks, I guess at that point the news is already out there, but then they wrap the f***ing announcement of him getting benched the same time nexa joined the team. \u201cPut it out early so the kid can at least explore some of his prospects and options before everyone starts batting down the hatches with the Major cycle,\u201d he said. SPUNJ went on to detail the supposed behind-the-scenes of the benching, saying, \u201cThey weren\u2019t even f***ing talking to [jks] for weeks after IEM Sydney. He was messaging the management of the team, and nobody was f***ing replying to him. \u201cHe\u2019s in Australia right now, and he was trying to work out how to get back to Europe for practice, and his manager was ghosting for weeks at a time. That\u2019s what I think is f***ing bulls***.\u201d G2 is slated to play in the CCT Online Finals #5 with their newly updated roster, and there has been no announcement as to where jks will end up next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
