They also signed up other big names to their team for next year’s Ascension circuit.
G2 Esports has picked up multiple VALORANT stars to create their 2023 roster as they face VCT 2023. This is after the team failed to be listed as a partner team in the announcement earlier in the year.
Former Sentinels players Michael “dapr” Gulino and Shahzeb “ShahZam” Khan is said to headline this new roster for the organization. Other players said to be signing up include former Version1 players Erik "penny" Penny and Maxim “wippie” Shepelev. Completing the lineup is “Oxy”, formerly from Dark Ratio. The previous head coach for Version1, Ian “Immi” Harding will be coaching the team.
The organization will be deploying the new roster in next year’s VCT circuit, starting with the Ascension stage. They also have the opportunity for the international league if they managed to breeze through the Challenger stage.
Ascension in the Americas region will bring together the best Challengers teams from North America, Latin America, and South America to compete against each other. The best team from the circuit will qualify for the international league in 2024.
