European esports organisation G2 Esports have today confirmed their League of Legends G2 2025 LoL roster, featuring two new additions.
French jungler SkewMond has replaced Swedish jungler Yike, while Greek support player Labrov has replaced Slovenian support player Mikyx.
Skewmond was most recently with the Team BDS Academy, with whom he won the French LFL and EMEA Masters this year, while Labrov was with BDS’ main LEC team.
Labrov and Skewmond will join existing top-laner Brokenblade (Germany/Turkey), mid-laner Caps (Denmark) and ADC Hans Sama (France) to finalise the roster for next year.
G2 made the announcement in the following comedy sketch on their League of Legends X social media account just now, saying ‘next year will be one for the history books’.
The announcement video also featured President of France G2’s LoL general manager Romain Bigeard, T1 head chef personality/former KC coach YamatoCannon, lumberjack G2 head coach Dylan Falco, all-knowing higher power streamer Kesha and more.
The news comes after roster changes were expected following G2’s exit from Worlds 2024 a couple of months ago, where they were knocked out by finalists BLG in the Swiss stage.
The new G2 2025 LoL roster will now play for the first time on stage at Red Bull League of Its Own 2024 in France this Sunday, competing against the likes of T1, Los Ratones and more.
Outgoing jungler Yike said: “The last two years with G2 was like a dream to me. I can’t even explain how grateful I am for the opportunity I got and all the memories we created together. I got to meet amazing people here and I’m so insanely thankful for everything!”
Mikyx also posted the following after his departure from G2:
The news also comes after the recent departure of G2’s British LoL assistant coach, Duffman, and Russian analyst, Click.
We’ll be back with some coverage from the Red Bull League of its Own this weekend, where G2 will be competing.
