G2 Parts Ways With Heroes
Yesterday G2 released their Heroes of Storm roster as the organization parted ways with the game. Like North America’s Team CompLexity, the players in the roster had started to go separate ways and, as a result, G2 decided to disband the team and, for the present moment, close their Heroes of the Storm division.
As one of the most consistent teams over the past year, their disbandment comes as a bit of a shock. The Polish team first formed in March of last year, boasting some impressive results almost immediately. From that point, G2 had a remarkably stable roster with only one change when Baczek joined after adrd’s departure to Bob?. Otherwise team morale appeared to stay high and consistent throughout their time together. Unfortunately, they were never able to snag a premier win but still managed a first place prize in Heroes Major League EU Season 3. They also placed first in the WCA Open Qualifier as well as several Top 4 finishes, making them perhaps the most consistent European team in terms of results. But in the past two months, their results have faded quickly:
At first, the team was able to maintain its place at the top of the pile, but as the year went on, results continued to falter, and none of the changes that were made seemed to produce any effect.
Internal changes and strategies were used to combat the downward trend, but in the end, it appears that some roster changes were necessary, and the team agreed to part ways.
On the flip side of things, G2 disbanding means that a wealth of top notch players are now available in the European market. Jowe and Nicker have already released Twitter statements that they are actively looking for new teams, and Jowe even hinted at starting his own team in the near future. Leofromkorea, Baczek, and Szychu have not yet announced their plans, but if they choose to remain professional HotS players, they would make a fine addition to any European team.
This has been a very beautiful story of loyalty, respect, effort and understanding. The guys were with us during their peak, and we are immensely grateful for that. I wish them the best of luck in whatever they decide to do.
