Following the conclusion of the IEM Dallas 2024, Stewie2k showcased an incredible performance as a Stand-In player in G2 Esports. Later, when the curtain finally closed on the 100th IEM event, the CS2 community thought it might be the end of this pro's journey with the European Giants.

However, according to CS2 News' Telegram channel, a player of G2 is likely to have Visa issues, and might miss the BLAST Premier: Spring Final 2024, scheduled to start on June 12, 2024. The same information has been bolstered by a prominent figure in the community known for producing CS2 content, Ozzny.

If the report is accurate, the American esports professional might get a chance to show his worth in front of the community again. This article will shed some light on the current situation and the future of Stewie2k on G2 Esports based on the information derived from CS2's News' Telegram channel.


Stewie2k might get another chance to play in BLAST Premier: Spring Finals 2024

The leak was originally made on the CS2 news' Telegram channel and later bolstered by Ozzny. According to both sources, Stewie2k is likely to get another chance to play for G2 Esports as a Stand-In player in the upcoming BLAST Premier: Spring Finals 2024. Additionally, one player from G2 is likely to have visa issues before hopping on the plane to London.

Ozzny also added mONESY’s quote directed at G2 fans that says:

“I have bad news for you, you will find out within 4 days."

Hence, some netizens speculate that mONESY is the unfortunate member having visa-related issues, which could lead to his absence in the upcoming CS2 BLAST Spring Finals 2024.

In light of this fiasco, the community speculates that Stewie2k is most likely to be the one replacing mONESY as a stand-in. However, G2 Esports has yet to post anything officially regarding the current scenario of their roster.

The potential lineup of G2 Esports without mONESY will look like this:

  • Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen (IGL)
  • Nemanja “nexa” Isaković
  • Nikola “NiKo” Kovač
  • Nemanja “huNter-” Kovač
  • Jacky "Stewie2K" Yip (Stand-In)
  • Wiktor “TaZ” Wojtas (Coach)
