Jan ‘Swani’ Müller, former G2 analyst and coach, appeared on HLTV Confirmed to share his insights on the internal challenges faced during his coaching period, including management’s decisions regarding player roster changes. He emphasized that suggestions from players were often overlooked and highlighted the need for more supportive staff. Notably, discussions involved the controversial removal of Justin ‘jks’ Savage, which sparked deeper reflections on team dynamics.

“After Sydney, where everything started, was a very weird situation for everyone, but we already had a lot of talks with Justin [jks] before.”

He discussed the communication barriers with jks and how they impacted the team, stating that the team’s struggles were masked by temporary victories.
A key part of the conversation was the replacement process following jks’ exit, influenced by speculated departures of other prominent players like Nikola ‘NiKo’ Kovač.
Swani expressed regret about the speed of decisions made by management, which he articulated as detrimental to the team’s structure. He withstood burnout due to the lack of an analyst or assistant coach and wanted to convey that significant structural support was missing, which led to his resignation.

Swani’s departure coincided with the hiring of Wiktor ‘TaZ’ Wojtas, expected to align with Rasmus ‘HooXi’ Nielsen’s style, though Swani cautioned about the discrepancies in the process. Thus, the situation left HooXi with conflicting sentiments regarding his new coach.
The conversation encompassed further management decisions affecting star players and the team’s recent trajectory, revealing a complex picture of G2’s environment. You can check out the whole episode here.
