G2 Esports Signs Former Titan Lineup
One of the top French lineups in Counter-Strike has found a new home.
The former Titan lineup has joined G2 Esports today after the Titan organization closed its doors a few weeks ago. Shortly after that, G2 sold its Counter-Strike lineup to FaZe Clan for $700,000.
Kevin “Ex6tenz” Droolans, Cédric “RPK” Guipouy, Richard “Shox” papillon, Edouard “Smithzz” Dubourdeaux, and Adil “Scream” Benrlitom make up the five-man roster and will be joined by long-time manager Jérôme “NiaK” Sudries. All members of the lineup are considered veterans of the scene, with Papillon and Benrlitom bringing the star power.
The lineup will debut for G2 at the Game Show Global eSports Cup finals in the coming week.
G2’s Chief Gaming Officer, Jakub “Lothar” Szygulski, commented on the signing, stating, “This group of passionate, skillful, and professional players and managers is determined to get back to the top. We have no doubts that they will achieve their goals, and we will throw all our energy and support behind them.”
Team Manager Sudries stated, “We are proud and happy to join the organization. Our main goals going forward are to get back to the top of the CS:GO rankings.”
The lineup failed to live up to expectations under the Titan banner. The most important challenge coming up for G2 is the offline qualifier for the MLG Columbus major later this month.
