As we are preparing for the changes and new challenges of 2018, G2 Esports
and our League of Legends Head Coach Joey ‘YoungBuck’ Steltenpool have
amicably decided to have Joey move to a free agent position and explore his
options.
We had an incredibly tough group at Worlds, but we can say with absolute
confidence that our players and staff worked hard and did everything they
could in their power to make playoffs. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough this
time around, but we are still super proud. We had an incredible and historic
run with this lineup dominating the European region with back-to-back
Championship wins, plus second places at IEM and MSI, and we have no
intention of stopping now.
We will forever remain grateful to the players, staff and Joey in particular,
for their dedication, hard work and accomplishments as Samurai in G2.
Regardless of what the future holds and how our lineup will look for the next
season, our ambition to continue our European legacy and strive for greatness
on the international stage remains untouched. We will be back and we are
hungrier than ever.
Joey ‘YoungBuck’ Steltenpool statement:
“I am extremely grateful for the time I’ve spent in G2 and the journey it
has taken me on. In the last 2 years I’ve had the luxury of being surrounded
by the best players, assistant-coaches, owner and of course staff in the G2
organisation which has helped me grow a lot as a coach and more importantly
as a person. While the journey has been an amazing one so far, I want to look
into every option for the upcoming season before I make any decisions for my
future. With that in mind I am declaring my free agency.”

G2 Esports CEO Carlos ‘ocelote’ Rodriguez statement:
“When Joey joined us, he wasn’t the seasoned coach he is today. We went
through an immense learning process together and built a true legacy. His
input over the course of two years has been a vital part of our team’s
success. I am grateful for our time together and will always have him close
to my heart no matter the circumstances. We have come to an agreement with
Joey that it is in our best interest to delay any commitments at this point.”
鹿皇離開了G2，也開始準備找新的offer，然後ocelote讚美了鹿皇一番。
這次G2也挺可惜的，小組賽分在C組還能打出3-3的成績。
