He is back with a bang. G2 got eliminated from Challengers 1 after their losses. However, they still have a chance to make it to the EMEA Challengers, if they play well in the Europe Challengers 2. Which will start on the 17th of January 2022. In fact, they have to be the top 2 teams coming out of challengers 2 to qualify for EMEA Challengers.
And the EMEA Challengers will give teams the opportunity to play in Valorant Masters 2022.
And G2 is looking forward to playing in the Masters, for which they made the decision of swapping Mixwell and Keloqz. He has never disappointed in the past and maybe, this is the change required to bring G2 back into the major leagues.
But they still have a lot to work to do and a lot to prove.
