In a surprising turn of events, G2 Esports has decided to shake things up in the European League of Legends scene by benching their long-time head coach, Dylan Falco. This unexpected move has left fans reeling, especially after the team’s recent exit from the Mid-Season Invitational at the hands of LYON.
Despite the benching, G2 has assured fans that Dylan is still part of the organization, with a proper goodbye video planned for his departure. The replacement for Falco is none other than the former G2 midlaner, Luka “Perkz” Perković, who is stepping into the head coach role.
Moving a Coaching Legend to the Bench
The decision to replace Dylan Falco, who has led G2 to eleven LEC trophies over nearly five years, with Perkz, who has minimal head-coaching experience, has sparked intense reactions from the community. Fans are divided on whether this change will lead to success or disaster for the team.
While Perkz is highly regarded as a player, transitioning to a coaching role presents a new challenge. With little time to adjust before his official debut as head coach at the Esports World Cup, the pressure is on for Perkz to prove himself in this new position.
The unexpected nature of this coaching switch has turned G2 Esports matches into must-watch events, as fans eagerly wait to see if this bold move will pay off for the team.
