in 2021, and the squad was soon after signed by G2 Gozen. She's been with the organization ever since, playing a wide range of roles. She first rose to fame as the team's Initiator, a role that she featured prominently on in the team's run to lifting the 2022 Game Changers Championship. While she continued on that role for much of 2023, changes in the roster and the game's meta forced a shift.
In the 2023 GCC, she played as the team's Duelist, helping them to a third-place finish. She ended the competition third in ACS, behind just florescent and enerii . Petra began 2024 splitting time between the two roles, but with the signing of a new full-time Duelist in rezq , she returned to the Initiator role. G2 Gozen ended the year with a second straight third-place finish at the 2024 GCC.
To open 2025, roster and changes again forced G2 Gozen to adapt. Petra began the year as the team's Initiator but was shifted to its Controller by the time EMEA GC Stage 1 reached its fourth week. Now, just over a month after a third-place finish in the stage, G2 Gozen has announced Petra's benching.
Team manager Tibalt offered visibility into the decision, stating that the team felt the need to shift Petra back to Duelist and Vania , the team's Duelist at the time, to Controller. The team held trials, with Petra included, and ultimately came to the decision to bench the longtime player.
"I wish it would have ended differently, especially with an amazing player and person like Petra, but the team will always be bigger than any of its member[s]," Tibalt said.
In Petra's place, G2 Gozen signed Akita, who, since making her debut in 2024 with

, has steadily risen to one of Europe's top Duelist players. In Stage 1, she had the highest ACS of all players, helping Zerrance Mint to a 5th-6th finish.
G2 Gozen also signed DrewSpark as their new head coach, bringing in an established voice in the coaching booth. DrewSpark brings with him nearly three years of coaching and analytical experience with
