G2 Gozen’s Initiator, Petra ‘Petra’ Stoker has announced her retirement from competitive VALORANT, bringing her four year Game Changers campaign to an end.
Her decision to retire comes after both parties failed to reach a mutual contract agreement ahead of the 2026 season.
“After many years competing at the highest level in esports, I’m announcing my retirement and honestly, this has been the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make,” Petra shared on X (Twitter). “G2 and I weren’t able to find an agreement on a new contract, and after a lot of thinking, I’ve decided not to continue my career with a new team.”
That said, she plans to stay connected with the community through streaming on her Twitch channel.
Switching from CS:GO, the Dutch player began her VALORANT career in 2021 with XSET Female before getting picked up by G2 Gozen later that year. She was an integral part of the G2’s active roster for over three years before being briefly benched for two months.
Known for her high IQ plays in high-pressure situations, Petra is one of the most decorated and experienced players in the VALORANT Game Changers scene. She lifted the inaugural Game Changers Championship trophy and has won Game Changers EMEA nine times.
“Winning 10 titles in Valorant is something I will always be proud of, and I will never forget my CSGO career. That’s where it all began, and those moments shaped me into the player and person I am today,” Petra added.
Who Will Replace Petra on G2 Gozen?
G2 Gozen hasn’t announced Petra’s replacement in the roster; however, fans can expect an update in December.
Since the team qualified for Game Changers Championship 2025, it will receive a direct invite to its local Challengers League qualifier, which is set to take place in January 2026.
