2022 was a turning point for Valorant. Riot Games announced their new plans for the upcoming competitive season for the FPS shooter game and it impacted each and every Esport franchise who was associated with the game. The riot partnership program resulted in the complete revamp of rosters across regions.
There were high expectations for G2 and they were expected to get into the partnership program. But unfortunately, it did not happen. When everyone thought G2 was fading after all the turmoil, they announced their new roster that is expected to take part in the NA circuit.
Interestingly, they have roped in Michael ‘Dapr’ Gulino and Shahzeb ‘ShahZaM’ Khan who was earlier a part of Sentinels. As soon as Dapr joined the new roster, he took to Twitter to deliver a shocking message to his former team.
Valorant pro-Dapr announces his G2 joining through a rough message
As soon as Dapr was revealed to be a part of G2 Valorant, he took to twitter to announce it in a unique and shocking way. “F**k Sentinels” were the image he posted after he joined his new team. People from the community will be familiar with the picture that Dapr posted.
It was the same banner G2 flew during their match-up with Sentinels during Stage 3 Masters Berlin 2021.
The beef between Sentinels and G2 was immense during that tournament. The fans were having social wars while the players of each team used the Masters’ stage to taunt each other. Interestingly, Dapr was the one leading those taunts. Now he has joined the G2 side along with Sentinel’s former IGL.
G2 is planning a comeback in the men’s Valorant competitive front. They were an established entity in EMEA and it would be interesting to see them fight in a NA league. The revamped roster is expected to play in the NA circuit itself as all the players who have been roped in are American professionals.
The current G2 roster includes-
Shahzeb ‘ShahZaM’ Khan
Michael ‘dapr’ Gulino
Maxim ‘wippie’ Shepelev
Erik ‘penny’
Francis ‘OXY’ Hoang.

Will G2 be able to return to the ‘Glory’ days?
Even though G2 had undergone leadership changes and didn’t make it into the partnership program, they were not completely gone from the Valorant front. G2 Gozen, their other Valorant roster, showed immense strength during the first-ever Game Changers Champions tournament after they defeated Shopify Rebellion in the finals.
The men’s team achieved the second position during VALORANT Champions Tour 2022: EMEA Stage 1 Challengers.
It would be interesting to see how G2 would perform under the leadership of ShahZam. Moreover, fans are excited to see a G2 vs Sentinels match where ex-Sentinels players take on the current Sentinel roster.
