G2 <\/strong>has announced the acquisition of Nikita ‘\u2060HeavyGod\u2060’ <\/strong>Martynenko from Cloud9 <\/strong>to take the place of Nikola ‘\u2060NiKo\u2060’ <\/strong>Kova\u010d, who has moved to Falcons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘HeavyGod’ <\/strong>was with Cloud9 <\/strong>for only seven months and maintained a 1.16 rating<\/strong> across 73 maps played. He notably guided the Russian team to qualify for the Perfect World Shanghai Major<\/strong>, achieving a 1.32 rating<\/strong> in the European RMR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Israeli rifler is anticipated not to serve as an in-game substitute for NiKo<\/strong>; rather, he is expected to assume the anchor CT responsibilities previously held by Mario ‘\u2060malbsMd\u2060’ <\/strong>Samayoa, enabling the Guatemalan to step into NiKo’s <\/strong>former roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HeavyGod’s <\/strong>exit leaves Cloud9 <\/strong>with only one active player remaining, Timofey ‘\u2060interz\u2060’ <\/strong>Yakushin, after they also traded Kaisar ‘\u2060ICY\u2060’ <\/strong>Faiznurov to Virtus.pro<\/strong> and transferred Kirill ‘\u2060Boombl4\u2060’ <\/strong>Mikhailov and Sergey ‘Ax1Le\u2060’ <\/strong>Rykhtorov to BetBoom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The revamped G2 <\/strong>is scheduled to make its debut at BLAST Bounty<\/strong>, where they will face B8 <\/strong>in their opening match on January 17<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
