    It's a mess if Hunter cannot anchor. I believe in Malbz raw skill to carry him where ever they put him. Could have my head in the clouds, but I believe.

    Malbs was hyped up a couple years ago and than went to teams to play anchor/not his typical roles and didn’t play well. He’s only came back because m80 gave him his preferred roles…. It only works for malbs if he gets star roles he’s not an anchor

    If hunter cant anchor with so much experience he is next to be replaced. Also he aint the same hunter from csgo, so role swap might actualy work for him.

    Then he should get kicked. Hunter gets a lot of say in G2(god knows why), he was one of the people who was against the aleksiB move and also very much involved in getting jks kicked. Guess what G2 needs right now, a passive anchor and a real IGL, who need not entry. (Exactly jks and aleksiB). This guy has had it his way for such a long time, so now if he can’t anchor, then he should get kicked. Also, if he still gets his spots and the new guys have to adjust. Then why the hell did you get them. I don’t know why G2 is sucking up to this guy like he is a top 5 player. The guy isn’t even top 20.

    I would argue that, for the size of the org, this is never an acceptable change. Same for Liquid. They have too much money, oftentimes that they've spent on far worse ideas, to justify either not planning ahead and building a strong team or not spending the necessary amount to get strong players.

    I agree with you, but the problem is the connection between Niko and hunter makes hunter almost irreplaceable when it comes to g2 roster moves. Hunter averaged a 1.04 rating in 2024 playing the star rifled role, which is unacceptable for any tier 1 team. But as they previously said, if niko went to falcons hunter would’ve left, and same way around, if hunter got kicked niko ain’t staying either.

    Hunter has underperformed all of cs2. It was only in dallas where he put up decent impact. He was an obvious candidate to be replaced. But looks like nepotism is gonna cost Niko another year with no major.

    People treat this as if players aren't allowed to play different positions. How the hell do you go pro if you are going to drop off if you play one new role? Yes, specialization is how you get to the top in a pro setting, blah blah. But y'all treat it like players are going to become silvers if they switch positions.
