G2 bring Perkz back as positional coach, EDG part ways with Angel and Jwei

G2 made the headline move on July 3, bringing Luka "Perkz" Perković back to the organization as a positional coach. It is a notable reunion for one of the most recognizable names in G2 history, even if this time the move comes on the coaching side rather than the starting roster.

Perkz remains closely tied to G2’s identity after years as the face of the team during its rise in Europe. Adding him as a positional coach gives G2 a high profile voice with deep experience at the top level. The announcement does not change the active lineup, but it does add another layer of veteran insight to the team’s infrastructure.

Over in China, EDward Gaming confirmed two departures. Mid laner Angel has left the organization, and support Jwei has also exited. EDG now has openings in two key roles, which leaves the team with immediate decisions to make around the middle of the map and the support position.

Angel is the bigger name of the two departures. His exit removes an experienced mid lane option from EDG’s setup, while Jwei’s departure further trims the team’s support depth. EDG have not announced replacements in this update, so the focus now shifts to how the organization fills those spots.

Taken together, the day’s moves tell two different stories. G2 are adding star power and experience to their staff with a familiar name. EDG are moving bodies out of the lineup structure and creating clear vacancies at mid and support. Perkz’s return is the splashy move, but EDG’s next step could end up being just as important.
