Five games, five wins: G2 Gozen has won the third Valorant Game Changers tournament in the Europe-Eastern Europe-Turkey region.

"To end the year with this victory – oh my God, that really means everything," said G2 player Michaela "mimi" Lintrup after the 3: 1 final success (13:7; 13:10; 7:13; 13:10) against Guild X in the tournament livestream.

Perfect Valorant tournament for G2 Gozen

The e-athletes of G2 Gozen managed an almost perfect tournament: with the exception of a map in the final, the team of the organization based in Berlin did not have to submit a round, defeated, among other things, the French defending champions of Tenstar 2:0 on the way to success.

According to Mimi, the success at the end of the season is also a relief for the players who only entered the professional Valorant scene in May: "As the best female team in Counter-Strike before, I have the feeling that a lot of pressure was on us. It was heartbreaking not to win so many tournaments in a row." In the first two editions of the Game Changers series, the team finished in third place each time.

E-athlete from Canada in second place

With Vivian "roxi" Schilling, a Valorant player from Canada was also in the final of the tournament series for the first time. After the defeat against G2, the e-athlete commented on Twitter: "Close games, but not good enough.»
