Note: This list is subjective and solely reflects the writer's opinions.
The teams to look out for in VCT Game Changers Championship 2024
1) Shopify Rebellion
Shopify Rebellion competes in NA and will be the #1 seed from their region coming into this year's Game Changers Championship. In 2024, their team was able to dominate NA as they won GC 24 NA: Series 1, 2 and 3 with ease. The only teams that were successful in defeating Shopify were FLYQuest Red and YFP X.
Shopify's strength has always been their balance of rookie and veteran talent. As they head into GCC 2024, their status as defending champions has also made them the team to look out for at this event for the viewers and the opponents. Shopify Rebellion has a great chance of becoming the first back-to-back Game Changers World Champions.
2) G2 Gozen
G2 Gozen competes in EMEA and will be the #1 seed from their region coming into this event. Their 2024 season was somewhat similar to Shopify, as they completely destroyed every opponent. G2 Gozen was also able to win every single regional GC event. They only lost a total of two matches and seven maps throughout this year.
G2 Gozen started the 2024 season by making several changes to their roster. They retained the veterans mimi and Petra to then add some other top-level talent like Bania, amy and rezq to increase their firepower. This iteration of G2 Gozen is extremely scary and could get the organization it's second GCC trophy.
3) Xipto Esports
Xipto Esports is a team from the Philippines that competes in the Pacific region. They are the number one seed from their region and are easily one of the strongest teams heading into the VCT Game Changers Championship 2024.
In this 2024 season, Xipto Esports have not lost a single series, putting them on a 20-match win streak with only two map losses. With such a strong performance, Xipto Esports was able to bag a trophy by winning the first-ever Game Changers Pacific LAN event. This is a team that already showed their potential in GCC 2023 and have a very high chance of bringing the region its first-ever GC global trophy.
4) FLYQuest Red
FLYQuest Red competes in the NA GC circuit and they are the #2 seed from their region for this championship event. The team had a great 2024 season despite making several changes to the roster. FLYQuest Red managed to get second place in all the regional GC series. The only team that bested them consistently was Shopify Rebellion.
This fairly new roster consists of experienced pros like sonder, theia and starbound, who have made an appearance in previous championship events. The regional veteran, dodonut has also proven herself multiple times in the regional events. Game Changers Championship 2024 will be a true test for this and how well they can play on the big stage.
5) MIBR GC
MIBR GC comes from Brazil and is the #1 seed from their region for this championship event. This new team has been at an absolute tear as they were able to win two of the three regional events with ease.
The most shocking part of this is how they were able to consistently take down the top GC teams of Brazid,l like Team Liquid and LOUD GC. This will be the first appearance of both the organizations and its players on the international stage. It will be interesting to see how well this team does in the VCT Game Changers Championship 2024.
