At the end of 2025, Gentle Mates revealed several surprises across multiple esports titles. One of the highlights was their VALORANT Game Changers team, which would be getting a brand-new roster to represent the pink team. On Jan. 24, the players set to compete for the regional title were finally unveiled.

Unlike the VALORANT main circuit, the Game Changers scene has just one international event, scheduled for the end of the year.
However, in 2026, VCT Game Changers EMEA will feature multiple fast-paced Cash Cups, giving teams additional opportunities to compete for prize pools. Both regional Game Changers teams and GC EMEA teams will be eligible to compete. We wish all the teams the best of luck for the 2026 season!
