HooXi has been benched from G2 Esports’ starting Counter-Strike 2 roster, marking a significant shift in the team’s lineup. This change follows the recent addition of Mario “malbsMd” Samayoa, who had originally replaced nexa.

HooXi joined G2 in the summer of 2022, moving over from Copenhagen Flames. His tenure began with challenges almost immediately, with the team failing to qualify for the IEM Rio Major in his debut. Through his time with G2, HooXi faced extensive criticism from fans and analysts alike, often centered on his individual stats.
