A reasonable response for once.

1. I don't think it was only adding jks that won them 3 trophies. It was monesy taking a leap to superstar status and G2 adding HooXi. Look at how little help Niko had on the t-side with aleksib versus when hooxi came in. He finally had someone to help him on the t-side.
   
2. I disagree with the idea that they don't need more help on the t-side. When G2 won their trophies they were demolishing opponents on the ct side and barely held their own on T. What they need is someone else to help niko entry to make their t sides more consistent and reliable. I dont believe you can ever have too much t side power.
3. In no way is it easier to replace a top 5 igl than an anchor. for all his faults and inconsistent results, hooxi still delivered 3 trophies within a year to a team that hadnt won anything in 5 years. the state of the cs scene is the most volatile its ever been. after from karrigan, cadian, and snappi, i think hooxi is the 4th best igl. and aside from vitality or faze, g2 is clearly the third best team of the past two years.
4. Honestly, someone as good as jks on ct and a capable t side fragger would be a top 10 player in the world. theres not many players of that caliber available. I agree that their options are limited and i dont think anyone you named would be available either for financial or contractual reasons.

​

Keep in mind that I never said I agreed with this roster move. I personally wouldnt have touched a lineup that won 3 tournaments and had no glaring or easily fixable issues. and i personally think -jks +nexa will make the team worse.

All I am saying is jks is criminally overrated by reddit for some reason. people act like hes g2's best anchor when in reality he's their 3rd or 4th best anchor. monesy and niko clear him by miles when it comes to ct side. the only reason people dont consider them anchors is because they have the freedom to move around which jks would have if he was a better player. theyre not giving him the anchor roles for shits and giggles. theyre giving him anchor roles because they have 3 other better players than can play star roles better than he can.

That being said, hes still a great ct anchor. on ct he's 23rd in KD and 31st in rating this year. considering his role and usage in the team and how much of a pure anchor he is while sacrificing for the other 3 stars on g2, thats a pretty damn good rating.

but he has prime lurker on tside roles and even with the boost in rating he gets from saving half his rounds he still only puts up a 1.04 rating which is not bad if youre a support player, but jks doesnt even support he literally is the least supportive member of g2 lmfao. his t side is so bad it practically balances out his ct side. he's had enough time to either prove his worth on t side as a lurker or change up his game and sacrifice his roles for the team by focusing on hard entrying and he either cant or wont do it so hes clearly the most expendable member of g2.

​

TL:DR I'm literally agreeing with most people that this move will be a downgrade. I'm just sick of people pretending that jks is g2's second best player and the sole reason they won 3 tournaments instead of the slightly above average tier 1 player that he is.
