After failing to acquire a franchise spot with Riot Games, which would have guaranteed G2 a berth in the Americas international league, the organization has decided to enter the Challengers division.
British coach Ian “Immi” Harding, a former CS:GO player who switched to Riot’s hero FPS shortly after its 2020 release, will lead G2 Valorant.
The Valorant expansion is the continuation of the G2 U.S. story in Rocket League and Fortnite, and we can’t wait to write this new and successful chapter,” he concluded.
