G2 let Zven and Mithy field offers from other teams

G2 Esports has let AD Carry Jesper "Zven" Svenningsen and Support Alfonso "Mithy" Aguirre Rodriguez out of their contracts at least 11 days early, allowing the two to pursue offers from other teams.

The announcement came in the form of a video released earlier today that featured CEO and founder Carlos "ocelote" Rodriguez calling the players to inform them of the move.

Had a call with @G2Zven & @G2mithy about their future in @G2esports - I feel this is the best thing for all of us 👉 https://t.co/A237lSQwfo pic.twitter.com/odq7mEKPXr — Carlos - ocelote (@CarlosR) October 31, 2017

Now this doesn’t necessarily mean the two players are in fact leaving, just that the duo are able to consider and field offers from other orgs without those orgs violating section 8.2.11 of the 2017 EU LCS rulebook, which states that, "No Team Manager/Member or Affiliate of a Team may solicit, lure, or make an offer of employment to any official Head Coach or Player who is signed to any League Team."

Could this mean a move to NA for the EU duo? Only time will tell.
