G2 and JKS Part Ways, Opening New Chapter for the Australian Star

Justin "⁠jks⁠" Savage has officially become a free agent following his departure from G2, the organization confirmed. The move comes after jks was benched in favor of Nemanja "⁠nexa⁠" Isaković last November, despite his contributions to the team's victories at prestigious tournaments like IEM Katowice and Cologne.

Nikola "⁠NiKo⁠" Kovač, a key figure in G2, commented on the change, stating that the team had an abundance of 'star' roles, leading to the decision to bring in nexa for his ability to require less space and contribute more significantly to the team's dynamics. NiKo expressed his belief that jks would find greater success and fulfillment playing elsewhere as a star player.

As jks enters the free agency, his track record of patience and selectiveness in choosing his next team stands out. After spending nine months on Complexity's bench, he made a notable return with G2 in 2022. His decision to decline offers, including one from BLEED during his recent period away from competitive play, demonstrates his commitment to finding the right fit for his skills and career ambitions.

With his versatile ability to shine both as a star lurker and a supportive anchor, jks is poised to attract attention from teams looking to bolster their roster post-Copenhagen Major. As the esports scene braces for another round of rostermania, the Australian's next move is eagerly anticipated by fans and teams alike.
