Spanish AWPer Álvaro "SunPayus" García has officially departed G2, closing out a 14-month stint (July 2025 – September 2026).
G2 coach's reasoning
"I think for us we need something more aggressive because we have also other players who are a bit more on the passive side." — Eetu Saha, G2 coach.
Timeline
- Joined G2: July 2025
- Team highlight: BLAST Open London 2025 title shortly after his arrival
- Replaced in the active lineup: June 2026 — Artem "r1nkle" Moroz took the AWP role after SunPayus spent three months on the bench
- Official departure: September 29, 2026
What next
Reports suggest SunPayus is expected to join FUT, replacing AWPer Nikita "cmtry" Samolotov — although the move has not been officially confirmed at the time of G2's announcement.
