Source from VLR.GG said, G2 Esports successfully recruited Aaro “Hooky” Peltokangas and Johan “Meddo” Lundborg. This means that the team of the EMEA area has completed the squad for the 2022 season. Previously, G2 Esports retained only 3 members, “Mixwell” Canellas, Auni “Avova” Chahade and Zygimantas “Nukkye” Chmielakas.
Both Hoody and Meddo are no longer a strange name for European Valorant fans. In the 2021 season, these two players played in the shirt of Giants Gaming. These are also direct replacements for the position of Keloqz and Koldamenda. In addition, G2 Esports also appointed Daniil “Pipson” Mesheryakov to replace Neil “Neilzinho” Finlay.
With new contracts and a combination of youth and experience, G2 Esports wants to look forward to the 2022 season more successfully. The second half of 2021 witnessed a series of fluctuations at G2 Esports. EMEA's representative was present at Masters 3 Berlin but stopped from selling safes after a 0-2 defeat to Gambit Esports, the team then went to the throne.
After the tournament in Germany, G2 Esports entered Last Chance Qualifiers Emea, this is the last opportunity for teams to win tickets to attend Valorant Champions. However, G2 Esports lost to the Esports guild 0-2 in the final of the losing branch, thereby closing the season with empty results. This is also the main reason for the decision to purify the squad of G2 Esports.
In early December, Riot Games also announced the Valorant Champions Tour 2022 schedule. Challengers will start from February and there will be a total of 2 Masters tournaments, 1 Champions tournament like 2021. The only difference of Valorant Champions Tour 2022 is the appearance of the Changers game for women, and will have a new prize in October but not Riot Games are not announced by Riot Games form.
