There were reports of Shox attempting to get Ex6tenz and Smithzz into the team. However, with reservations on parts of certain players, the team was unable to come to fruition.
Thoorin, one of the most respected analysts in esports has mentioned that they passed on a very good opportunity. While the new team might be better in terms of skill, they definitely lack the leadership required for French players.
shox was gonna bring back Ex6TenZ into G2 and they would have kept kennyS. Ok, you literally have to win the major now @G2NBK. Je suis tilted.
