    At the helm of G2 Esports' Counter-Strike 2 team, Nikola 'NiKo' Kovac has dismissed swirling rumours about his involvement in an impending roster shuffle.

    Taking to Twitter, NiKo expressed bewilderment at the suggestion that he held substantial sway over team decisions.

    Recent speculations linked NiKo to potential changes involving Justin 'jks' Savage and Nemanja 'nexa' Isakovic. Despite being implicated as the catalyst, NiKo refuted claims of orchestrating the adjustments, clarifying his role in the situation.

    The rumours followed NiKo's alleged departure from G2 for the much-anticipated Saudi-owned Falcons superteam. Contrary to reports, NiKo confirmed his commitment to G2's international lineup.

    Questions arose regarding jks' standing on the G2 roster post-NiKo's decision to stay, with reports hinting at nexa's return as the former IGL. With less than a month until G2's next matches, no official confirmation of these changes has materialised.

    NiKo's stance remains ambiguous, leaving room for speculation about potential roster adjustments. If realised, this could signal the end of a triumphant era, with IEM Cologne 2023 and IEM Katowice 2023 titles, as well as a stint as the top Counter-Strike team globally.

    The rumoured jks roster change has drawn criticism from fans and analysts, with some dubbing it the 'worst move of all time.'
