Version1 will now enter female VALORANT after signing Just Breathe, a team led by former Dignitas female member Milk.
Version1 are expanding their VALORANT division by signing orgless team Just Breathe as the organization’s all-female VALORANT team.
The entire Version1 all-female VALORANT lineup consists of the following players:
- Kiara “Milk Makua
- Natalia “Natty” Jackson
- Rachel Lynn “Rush” Hang
- Katherine “Karra” Lee
- Naomi “Naomi” Sauvola
Version1’s newest VALORANT team consists of a good mix of both veteran and rookie talent. Players like Milk and Natty have previous experience at a professional level in CS:GO while Karra and Naomi provide rookie firepower to the group.
Just Breathe join Version1
The Just Breathe roster originally formed back in May 2021 following IGL Kiara “Milk” Makua’s departure from Dignitas. Under her leadership, the team began to find success in the women’s VALORANT scene after qualifying for VCT Game Changers in June after beating CLG Red 2-0.
However, once they got to VCT Game Changers, they were unable to take down Dignitas Female and ultimately finished 7th-8th at the event. Since that event, the team has not been to many tournaments, though that is likely to change now with Version1.
