G2 have unveiled the signing of Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski to their Counter-Strike roster. The Polish veteran takes over in-game leadership in the squad from Rasmus "⁠HooXi⁠" Nielsen, who was benched from the team on Monday.

There isn't a lot of time for G2 to solve that puzzle by the time they make their debut in the new season. That is just two weeks away, taking place at the Esports World Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from July 17-21.

Snax joins G2 on a transfer from GamerLegion, with whom he made a return to tier-one play last September and further honed his craft as a leader, a role he also previously took up on and off as part of the legendary Virtus.pro roster.

This transfer marks a reunion between Snax and Wiktor "⁠TaZ⁠" Wojtas, who have a longstanding relationship dating back to when they played together from 2013 to 2018 from that same Virtus.pro team.

Their relationship was rumored to be fraught towards the end of their time together, but the duo won a dozen titles — including the EMS One Katowice Major on home soil in 2014 — marking a golden era for Polish Counter-Strike.

G2's new roster looks as follows:

Bosnia and Herzegovina Nemanja "⁠huNter-⁠" Kovač
Bosnia and Herzegovina Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač
Russia Ilya "⁠m0NESY⁠" Osipov
Guatemala Mario "⁠malbsMd⁠" Samayoa
Poland Janusz "⁠Snax⁠" Pogorzelski
