Giants’ Valorant roster is as follows:

  • Adolfo "Fit1nho" Gallego
  • Aaro "hoody" Peltokangas
  • Žygimantas "nukkye" Chmieliauskas
  • Emir "rhyme" Muminovic
  • Kirill "Cloud" Nehozhin

Fit1nho will take on the role of the primary duelist while rhyme will be the team’s controller player. Muminovic is also the team’s IGL and will be responsible for a lot of the team’s strategic plays.

Helping him will be the team’s coach, Daniil "pipsoN" Meshcheryakov. PipsoN has a wealth of experience and has also handled the coaching role previously on G2 esports. Having worked with nukkye, the flex player on the team, pipsoN should have a much better synergy with some of the players on the squad.
