Today on December 2, 2021 at around 12:38 AM GMT+8, G2 Esports announced the release of their in-game-leader Jose Luis “koldamenta” Aranguren Herrero from their active VALORANT Roster after six months of playing for the organization.

One word. Shambolic.

G2 Esports dominated the early EU VALORANT pro scene before falling off as other teams began to rise in prominence. The addition of Žygimantas “nukkye” Chmieliauskas, Auni “AvovA” Chahade, and koldamenta on June 2, 2021 brought the team to new heights. The organization placed second at VCT EU Stage 3 Challengers 1 and then fourth in Challengers playoffs, earning the team the right to compete in Berlin for Masters 3. At that tournament, the team ended with a respectable 3rd-4th place finish. Unfortunately, G2 was unable to go to Champions after losing out in the lower bracket of the EMEA Last Chance Qualifier.

With this change, the G2 VALORANT roster now consists of:

• Oscar “mixwell” Cañellas Colocho
• Žygimantas “nukkye” Chmieliauskas
• Auni “AvovA” Chahade
• Wassim “keloqz” Cista

From his end, koldamenta has not yet announced his next team destination nor have G2 announced their choice of replacement. It is also possible that G2 will continue to revamp their roster accordingly. We here at Runitback will continue to monitor any more roster changes and give updates on the situation.
