G2 welcome back nexa to CS2 team

Players Dresden Lewis, 20, of Matawan and Dean Casiere, 20, of Freehold warm up before the start of the actual competition. Brookdale Community College has built an esports arena where students and the community can practice video gaming. It's the latest step in joining a rapidly growing industry. As part of it, the college also has introduced its first varsity esports team featuring 19 players for three different games.

G2 welcomed the return of Nemanja “nexa” Isakovic on Tuesday, a move made mere hours after he was released by OG.

nexa, 26, previously competed with G2 from September 2019 to January 2022. The Serbian replaced Australian rifler Justin “jks” Savage on the team’s Counter-Strike2 starting roster on Tuesday.

nexa took over the leadership role at OG in 2022.

“Starting a new chapter in my career as a rifler and grateful for the opportunity to do it alongside some of the best in the game,” nexa wrote on social media.

The current G2 roster consists of nexa, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Nikola “NiKo” Kovac and Nemanja “huNter-” Kovac, Russian Ilya “m0NESY” Osipov, and Denmark’s Rasmus “HooXi” Nielsen.
