Winning this match in particular? Pretty high, their teamwork is great and if they keep on playing the way they have in the previous games I don't expect them to be stopped

Pretty sure they are, if they win grand finals of closed qualifiers (which should be a must if they were to put up a fight in NACL), they have no GC-related matches after the 28th.

Me too! I am insanely excited for what this year will bring to the NA scene

Well registrations are going on at this moment (probably on Battlefy) so there's going to be a little while until we have concrete info, I've wondered the same as you before but found nothing outside of this.

They're probably hiding strats and comps for VCL which is really smart

SR 26 - 2 TA

I think both Vania and Glance are good players, but they both play differently. Makes me sad she didn't get to play how she usually does within G2.G and she will be even better if her new team lets her

alright thanks!

Since it's getting close to the qualifiers, does anyone have any info on the teams that are going to participate? I'm not exactly sure where to look and advice is welcome

With mimi, Petra, Amy, Vania and rezq playing Premier together this basically further solidifies the rumors and I'm hoping they become dominant in the EU GC scene again.

No, there's been rumors of rezq (16yo turkish duelist, prev. FUT fe) and Vania (ex-BBL IGL/smokes) joining G2.G and Juliano is looking for an org to have her and her core represented in CS2.

The Juliano thing isn't a rumor since she said it herself on Twitterthe tweet

I don't think flor will leave SR just yet, especially not when Challenger qualifiers are around the corner but I can get behind this

SR > G2.G and I think the difference is Juliano's performance only, outside of that could be pretty close. Should wait to see SR perform at Challengers and make a stronger decision off of that.

Not a clear 100% indicator that they will play or a confirmation, but both meL and Ludwig replying makes it incredibly likely

EG fell apart entirely, and SR doesn't seem to be in financial trouble to me. Anyway, if they were to be dropped by the org they'd be picked up by someone else in literally no time.

They just won the GC Championship, why would they be dropped?

Since Glance had some issues previously mentioned (#28), it comes off as her also wanting to leave rather than just her getting kicked so it's not as bad + the roster changes were IMO bound to happen since they didn't win GC on top of their weaker Series 3 EMEA GC run.

here she seems to be staying in CS2 scene so I'm guessing she's not coming back to Valorant. Besides, mimi has just recently been put on IGL role so the sudden switch-ups kind of lack sense to me. Roster change was imminent because they went 3rd though, but not with juliano.

Who do they even replace her with? Also wondering if they're gonna do some roleswaps again

Can include other players that didn't qualify to the main event/don't play for a team rn

yeah, a lot of people forget mimi and petra go WAAAAAAAAY back to when they played csgo together

I don't really think TL will make it that far because SMG GC hasn't dropped a game in their respective region but outside of that, this does make a lot of sense.
