Gentle Mates earned their way into VCT by winning EMEA Ascension in 2023. In their debut season at the top level, the Mates went 3-7 across both phases of regional play, placing them at 10th out of 11 teams. Knowing a strong 2025 was needed to extend its stay in VCT, Gentle Mates started the year off stronger, finishing 7th-8th at EMEA Kickoff. With an ever-evolving roster, the team kicked off Stage 1 with a win over Kickoff runner-ups Team Liquid Team Liquid Europe Rank #7 nAts Ayaz Akhmetshin keiko Georgio Sanassy kamo Kamil Frąckowiak , but it was all downhill from there. The win over Liquid was Gentle Mates' only win across both Stages, as the team lost its next nine matches in VCT play.

A disappointing second season in VCT saw Gentle Mates finish 11th in EMEA's Championship Point standings, seemingly relegating the organization back to VCL. However, an unexpected turn of events saw Riot terminate its partnership agreement with KOI KOI Inactive and eventually select Gentle Mates to replace them in EMEA's permanent ten-team slate.

With another lease at life in Valorant's top tier, Gentle Mates enters the offseason preparing to undergo a rebuild with a completely empty slate.
