The announcement comes a month after they disbanded their former lineup, and have since acquired the entire roster of PENTA Esports, who finished 2nd in the PEL Qualifier in December 2018.

This means that Alexander “Caint” Syukrin, Christian “Itzz_ChrizZ” Blank, Magnus “udyRR” Hartmann, and Rene “Braexco” Rehling will play under the Spanish organisation.
“It is a big honor for me to represent such an organization as G2 Esports. Our goal is to reach our potential on every single playday, to stay on the top of the leaderboards, and successfully qualify to Global Events,” said Caint in G2”s announcement.
G2 CEO Carlos ‘ocelote’ Rodriguez said
The moment we identified the opportunity to build the strongest PUBG team in the world, we jumped on it. They are our first fully German line-up which is amazing and a great representation of the local talent available here. They’re set for success and will take the trophy home.
The announcement comes as a much-needed boost to the PUBG scene as the declining popularity has caused many organisations, including OpTic Gaming and Evil Geniuses to drop their roster, and there has been a shift towards other Battle Royale games like Fortnite.
The all-German time is set to begin their journey at the PUBG Europe League by StarLadder featuring a €1,000,000 prize pool.
