G2 Esports LEC 2024 Roster Confirmed

G2 Esports is recognized as one of the most formidable and competitive teams in the League of Legends esports scene, particularly in the West. Presently competing in the LEC (League of Legends Europe, Middle East & Africa Championship), G2 Esports boasts a record of a dozen domestic titles. Moreover, the team won the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) in 2019 and secured the second place in the Worlds the same year.

The team is as well-known for its community involvement as it is for its gaming prowess. The organization prides itself on its vibrant social media engagement and stands out as one of the most entertaining brands in the esports realm.

In a surprising development, G2 Esports released a video featuring mid-laner and acclaimed player Rasmus “Caps” Borregaard Winther. The video, titled “Farewell G2 Caps”, created a stir in the community during the intense League of Legends esports offseason.

G2 Esports Pranks Fans with Caps Farewell Video

G2 Esports disclosed its starting lineup for the LEC 2024 through a social media post, in which Caps personally addressed his fans. Many fans, initially taken aback, believed that Caps was departing from the team.

Caps remarked in the video, “It’s been an incredible journey; I just want to express my immense gratitude for it. I know this isn’t an easy thing for me to say, at least it doesn’t feel easy.. But… I just need to say it. I’m leaving. I’m leaving Berlin. I’m going abroad, carrying my skills elsewhere.“

But at the end of the video, after a suggestion from team manager Romain Bigeard, Caps clarified, “I’m going home for the holidays. The split is over. So is Worlds. And we’re heading back for the Winter Split. So, see you then!“

The end card of the same video noted that it would return with the same roster for the LEC 2024. The members of G2 Esports are as follows:

• Sergen “BrokenBlade” Çelik: Top

• Martin “Yike” Sundelin: Jungle

• Rasmus “Caps” Borregaard Winther: Mid

• Steven “Hans Sama” Liv: Carry

• Mihael “Mikyx” Mehle: Support

The 2023 Worlds proved challenging for G2 Esports. It started its journey on the right foot by securing victories against Dplus KIA and Weibo Gaming. However, the team experienced a slump, losing two consecutive games to Gen.G and NRG Esports. This string of defeats seemed to have shattered the team’s momentum, and as a result, the team was eliminated early from the tournament after a loss to BiliBili Gaming.
