G2 Esports has made a significant shift in its League of Legends roster for 2025, announcing two crucial signings that will shake things up in the EMEA Championship (LEC). The iconic esports organization officially welcomed jungler Rudy “SkewMond” Semaan and support player Labros “Labrov” Papoutsakis as part of their revamped team, stepping in for departures Martin “Yike” Sundelin and Mihael “Mikyx” Mehle.
With these adjustments, G2 now fields an exciting lineup that includes top laner Sergen “BrokenBlade” Çelik, mid laner Rasmus “Caps” Winther, and bot laner Steven “Hans Sama” Liv. This fresh combination promises to bring a new dynamic in the LEC.
SkewMond is no stranger to success, previously leading Team BDS Academy to victories at major events such as the EMEA Masters 2024 Summer and the La Ligue Francaise (LFL) 2024 Summer Playoffs. He will be making his debut in the LEC during the Winter 2025 season.
Labrov, noted for his expertise with iconic hook champions, joins following impressive tenures at Team Vitality and Team BDS, where he consistently reached playoffs in 2024. This new roster signifies the end of an era for G2, as they bid farewell to a championship-winning team that ruled the league for two years.
Before launching into the new season, G2 fans can catch the squad competing against T1 in a showmatch at the Red Bull League of Its Own on December 15, 2024, in Paris.
