This decision was met without much surprise, as the ladies had already competed for BIG EQUIPA in the ESL Impact Cash Cups tournaments, where the team showed excellent results, winning Cash Cup 2 at the end of January and placing 5th to 8th in Cash Cup 3 last week.

The addition of Julia and Alexandra to the team was made possible after Marta D7 Asensio left and Aida Aida Simao was moved to the substitute bench. Juliano expressed her excitement about joining BIG EQUIPA and the readiness to demonstrate high results. She highlighted the talent and hard work of both the players and the team staff, as well as her optimism about future achievements.

Both players were looking for a new club after G2 decided to part ways with their female team in December. Juliano, with over a decade of experience playing at the highest level in games like Counter-Strike and Valorant, brings a significant contribution to the team with her experience.

BIG EQUIPA have already confirmed their participation in the 5th season of ESL Impact League, which starts on March 6th.

This move not only strengthens the BIG EQUIPA roster but also emphasizes the importance of female teams in esports, showcasing the growing interest and involvement in the development of women's esports on an international stage.

Exciting news, Equipa! We're thrilled to announce the addition of two amazing and talented players to our Counter-Strike lineup as we prepare for the upcoming ESL Impact season! Welcome, kyossa0 and juliakiran! Let's make history together!
