shox left G2

G2 announced the release of Richard "shox" Papillon from the contract, thus allowing him to consider other options for continuing his career. Previously, it was reported that the samurai will be replaced by Fabienne "kioShiMa" Fier at the upcoming tournaments.

According to the report of the portal 1pv.fr, which was published on September 15, Richard "shox" Papillon is close to the transition to Vitality. He will replace Nathan "NBK-" Schmitt, who was transferred to the reserve at the beginning of September because of the intra-command conflict. The 27-year-old Frenchman is expected to make his debut for the new team at the DreamHack Master Malmo 2019, scheduled for early October.

Richard "shox" Papillon has represented G2 since February 2016. The club's biggest achievements during this period were the ECS S1 Finals, ESL Pro League S5 Finals, DreamHack Masters Malmo 2017 and Good Game League 2019, as well as 2nd place at ESL Pro League S9 Finals and 3rd place at World Electronic Sports Games 2018.
