Gamers2 was the previous name of the European esports organization, which was changed to G2 in 2016, after which they began participating in various esports competitions. After obtaining the former ESC Gaming team, which included Innocent, SZPERO, Mouz, Ellen, and MINISE as the fifth member, they joined the CS competitive scene.

This Counter-Strike lineup had a rough beginning shortly after they were formed. Still, they got better with the inclusion of KennyS, one of the greatest snipers ever, and the team went on to earn unmatched notoriety. This marked the beginning of the team's glory.

The EU organization was under the spotlight throughout the golden age for a considerable amount of time, but from 2017 to 2021, they could not make it into any significant competition. Fans, nevertheless, continued to support their preferred EU team.
