KennyS Departs G2 After Almost Six Years With The Organization

The French marksman leaves the team after spending 18 months on the inactive roster.

Kenny “⁠kennyS⁠” Schrub is no longer a part of G2, the organization announced on Twitter. The news comes among reports by 1pv.fr linking the AWPer with a move back to the French scene with Falcons.

The 27-year-old marksman was benched from G2 in early 2021 after a poor run of form and remained on the inactive roster for the next 18 months. kennyS made a few cameos with the main team after his benching, most notably at IEM Winter as previous in-game leader Nemanja “⁠nexa⁠” Isaković missed the event due to visa issues.
