VCT Game Changers EMEA Stage 2 Event Schedule, Format and Teams
Game Changers EMEA Stage 2 will take place online from May 26th to June 19th, featuring the top all-female teams from EMEA. Here is the list of teams competing in it:
- Karmine Corp GC
- GIANTX GC
- G2 Gozen
- SK Nebula
- ZERANCE MINT
- HEROIC Valkyries
- DVM Miss
- Twisted Minds Orchid
- AlQadsiah Corals
- BLVKHVND
All teams will kick off their journey in the Group Stage, running until June 11th, and will then compete in a single round-robin format. The top six teams will advance to the double-elimination Playoffs, with the top two seeds receiving a bye to Round 2.
Along with this, they will also lock in a spot at GC EMEA Stage 3, while the bottom four teams will be relegated to Contenders Series 2. The playoffs teams will also compete for EMEA Points, which are crucial for the Game Changers Championship 2025 qualification.
Teams to Watch at Game Changers EMEA Stage 2
Karmine Corp GC, the Stage 1 champion, is currently in incredible form! The team has dropped only a single series this season and is currently on a seven-series win streak. The goal at Stage 2 will be to keep this momentum up and secure back-to-back titles.
G2 Gozen, on the other hand, is the most successful Game Changers team in EMEA so far. However, the team has struggled somewhat this season. As a result, the team has brought in Esllene ‘Akita’ Xu to replace Petra ‘Petra’ Stoker, while implementing a few role swaps. It will be interesting to see if G2 Gozen can reassert the dominance it is known for.
Advancing through Contenders Series 1, Twisted Minds Orchid is another team to look out for. The team has earned its spot in the event by making it all the way from the Open Qualifiers. With talent like Lujain ‘Luj’ Mansur and Annika ‘mediKa’ Lambertz on the roster, TWIS.O has the potential to do wonders in GC EMEA Stage 2.
