G2 Esports is returning to the VALORANT Champions Tour for 2022, bringing a new EU roster rebuilt to compete in the second year of the official competition. The team today announced the signing of the former Giants Gaming trio made up of Aaro “hoody” Peltokangas, Johan “Meddo” Renbjörk Lundborg and coach Daniil “pipsoN” Meshcheryakov.
Both players bring some VCT and immersive CS:GO experience to the rest of the G2 roster, which consists of Óscar “mixwell” Cañellas Colocho, Žygimantas “nukkye” Chmieliauskas and Auni “AvovA” Chahade. With the addition of the Giants, G2 parted ways with coach Neil “neilzinho” Finlay and took young Wassim “keloqz” Cista on the bench, allowing him to pursue other options.
G2 will debut their new roster in the qualifiers for the first EMEA Challengers stage, which is expected to begin in late January or early February.
