European organisation G2 Esports has recruited five new VALORANT players to compete in next year’s North American Challenge League, multiple sources have told Dot Esports. Former Sentinels starring Michael “dapr” Gulino and Shahzeb “ShahZam” Khan.

Sources say former Dark Ratio player ‘Oxy’ is expected to complete the lineup. G2 Esports complete their VALORANT roster with former Sentinels stars
Former Cloud9 player Rahul “curry” Nemani was also tested for the new roster. Former Edition 1 head coach Ian “Immi” Harding leads the roster, as Dot Esports previously reported on October 27. The team is expected to join the Challengers after this organisation does not cooperate with Riot Games. , which would guarantee G2 a spot in the International League of the Americas.
However, G2 Esports has the chance to qualify for the international league. Next year, the Challengers Circuit will see the best out-of-the-league teams compete against each other to finally qualify for the new circuit, Ascension. Ascension in the Americas brings together the best challenger teams from North, Latin and South America to compete against each other. The circuit’s best team will qualify for the 2024 International League.
ShahZam and dapr are both likely to seek revenge on old organisations under G2 Esports, and Penny and Wippie could face off against former teammates on Cloud9 if G2 qualifies for the American international league
