Contract tenure map

Every G2 Esports contract since 2015

One lane per player, one bar per status period, plotted from 2015 to today. Current members sit on top with open contracts running to the right edge; former players follow in reverse departure order. Colour marks the status each period was held in, and a gap in a lane is time away from the organisation. Service counts starter, stand-in and coach periods; bench time is shown separately and never added to it (open contracts on the active roster average 2y 1m of service today). Hover a bar for that period's dates and, when recorded, its maps and the player's rating with G2 Esports; tap a lane for the full contract record. The same moves appear in the transfer ledger below.

The G2 Esports file

G2 Esports is a German professional esports organisation headquartered in Berlin, founded in November 2013 by Carlos Rodriguez, known as ocelote, and formerly known as Gamers2. Its CS2 team is built around huNter-, who has been with the club since October 2019, and was 11th in the world ranking as of 6 November 2026.

The club traded as Gamers2 until it rebranded to G2 Esports on 15 October 2015. Its Counter-Strike roster was signed on 11 February 2015, when the organisation brought in the former ESC Gaming players. That group was released on 3 August 2015, and a new roster from Team Kinguin was signed in September 2015.

The roster was then sold on. In January 2016 it was acquired by FaZe Clan for a reported $700,000, and G2 signed the former Titan roster in February 2016.

At the end of September 2019 G2 acquired nexa and huNter- from CR4ZY, and Lucky was benched. Lucky joined Team Heretics on 8 October 2019. NiKo arrived from FaZe Clan on 28 October 2020, and JACKZ was benched on 7 December 2020.

JACKZ returned to the active roster on 4 March 2021, the same day kennyS was benched. In November 2021 maLeK parted ways with the club and Swani took over as interim coach.

On 3 January 2022 G2 acquired m0NESY from NAVI Junior. On 23 January 2022 nexa and Aleksib were exchanged with OG, amanek was benched, and xtqzzz was signed as head coach. Aleksib's role passed to HooXi on 16 August 2022.

xtqzzz left on 29 October 2022 and Swani became coach that day. taz was the coach from 16 December 2023 until June 2025. nexa returned as in-game leader on 21 November 2023 and left on 3 July 2024, the day Snax took over the role.

malbsMd joined as a rifler on 28 June 2024. Snax was in-game leader until 26 August 2025, when he left.

HeavyGod joined as anchor on 11 January 2025. HooXi left on 1 January 2025 and NiKo on 3 January 2025. m0NESY left on 14 April 2025, and hades joined as a rifler on 15 April 2025 and left on 18 June 2025.

On 18 July 2025 three arrivals came in together: MATYS as a rifler, sunpayus as awper and saw as coach. taz had left the coaching role on 19 June 2025, and saw arrived as coach on 18 July 2025.

NertZ joined as a rifler on 13 March 2026, the day malbsMd left. On 25 June 2026 r1nkle joined as awper, and sunpayus was benched the same day. sunpayus left the club on 29 September 2026.

huNter- has played 1,240 maps for G2, the most of any current player. HeavyGod has played 348 maps, MATYS 260, NertZ 125 and r1nkle 45. saw has been coach since 18 July 2025.
