G2 adds top-tier VALORANT duelist to complete VCT 2024 lineup

G2 Signs Former Cloud9 Superstar “leaf” for VALORANT Team

G2 has found its dynamic duelist for the 2024 VALORANT season in VCT Americas. Nathan “leaf” Orf, former superstar duelist for Cloud9, will join G2 and take on the primary duelist entry role for the team that just won Ascension, the org announced today.

G2’s Starting Lineup for 2024 VCT Americas

With the addition of “leaf,” G2’s starting lineup for the 2024 VCT Americas team is now complete. The organization aggressively pursued the players from The Guard after Riot allowed them to explore offers from other teams. G2 CEO Alban Dechelotte revealed that G2 beat out roughly 17 organizations to sign the players.

Leaf’s Journey to G2

Leaf joins G2 after a three-year stint with C9, where he experienced both success and disappointment. While C9 has brought back in-game leader Anthony “vanity” Malaspina, G2 is relying on Francis “OXY” Hoang, a potential breakout star who played for G2 last year, to take on leaf’s duties.

G2 and leaf will make their debut in a showmatch against Sentinels on Thursday, Oct. 26.
