Meet Mikyx, G2’s rock solid support
Wrist injuries aside, Mihael ‘Mikyx’ Mehle has proven to be a vital cog in G2’s recent success.
The young 20-year-old Slovenian pro is a fresh face to this year’s G2 Esports line-up along with Rasmus ‘Caps’ Winther, but with the performances he’s been putting in as the team’s solid support, it feels like he’s been with the team for even longer.
After tenures with Splyce and Misfits Gaming, where he cut his teeth in the EU LCS, Mikyx has proven to be the bedrock of the G2 line-up, pulling his weight – and more – as the lane partner of Luka ‘Perkz’ Perković.
His ability to help control the game, his excellence with the likes of Rakan, Pyke and Thresh, along with his composure on the Rift have all made him a force to be reckoned with in an already star-studded line-up. It’s not all been smooth sailing for the young support, however, as wrist injuries have plagued him throughout the current season, leading to the pro missing a few games and having fears of missing out on performing at the Mid-Season Invitational.

With rest and physical therapy, Mikyx made it to MSI and helped G2 push their way to Europe’s first MSI trophy, taking down titans like SK Telecom T1 and Team Liquid. Mikyx exudes an almost quiet confidence, but he’s been outspoken in the past about wanting to be the best team in the world – and with Europe and MSI already conquered, he has his eyes firmly set on the World Championship – and he’ll do anything on the Rift to make that happen.
