G2 Esports secured their first Counter-Strike 2 trophy on June 2 after defeating Team Vitality in the IEM Dallas 2024 grand final. But while it was a memorable moment for the whole team, it was special for one particular member for an additional reason. That individual is none other than G2’s head coach, TaZ. While this was his first trophy since joining the European giants as a coach, it’s yet another Intel Extreme Masters title added to his collection. In fact, the Pole made history since he was one of the players who won the first IEM in 2007, which…
