Rumors: G2 Esports in Talks with Version1 Owners for a Merger

Information has emerged on The Esports Advocate portal suggesting that G2 Esports is in negotiations with the owners of the Version1 esports organization regarding a potential merger, which could include their women's Valorant team.

According to the information provided by the portal, a final decision on this matter has not been made yet. However, the German organization G2 Esports has shown significant interest and plans for the American market. This is supported by their opening of an office in New York in January 2020 and their recent signing of former The Guard players, which secured the organization a slot in the VCT Americas League.

The primary goal of the deal for the German organization is the Call of Duty team ROKKR and their place in the CDL. Additionally, they have expressed interest in the Version1 women's Valorant team, which is one of the strongest in the American scene. However, if the deal goes through, it will not happen before the conclusion of the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: Game Changers Championship, as both teams have already qualified for this tournament, and organizations cannot merge due to conflicts of interest.
