by

Man, Shopify Rebellion Gold crushed it against Karmine Corp GC! They’re seriously looking strong as they try to hold onto their Game Changers Championship title for 2025. I’m hyped to see if they can defend it!

Shopify Rebellion Gold defeated Karmine Corp 2-1 at the VALORANT Game Changers Championship 2025. This victory sends SRG to the upper bracket final, putting them just two wins away from achieving a third consecutive championship title.

Alkyia vs SRG, dodonut’s team fit

Our opponents played a strong game, but we didn’t perform to our usual standard. I believe we all got flustered and made mistakes as a team. They identified a weakness in our gameplay and repeatedly exploited it. Coach Loic ‘effys’ Sauvageau noted that other teams might have struggled to find those openings, but ultimately, we were our own worst enemies in that match.

“Alkyia was killing us very quickly,” Melanie “meL” Capone added.

After Ava “florescent” Eugene left the team, meL talked about how the transition went. He said it was a smooth process bringing in Karn (Karnthida “dodonut” Chaisrakeo), with very few problems. meL praised Karn’s versatility, noting she can play a wide variety of agents, and emphasized that the team’s success with the change depended a lot on her skill. He finished by saying he couldn’t have asked for a better teammate to round out the five.

“[dodonut] is a blessing to work with,” said coach effys.

Karmine Corp to the lowers, vs KRU Blaze

This defeat sends KC to the lower bracket, where they’ll face KRU Blaze. KRU Blaze has already had success in the lower bracket, winning matches against both GIANTX and Nova Esports after their initial loss to Team Liquid.

Ahead of their game against KRU, Anastasiya “Glance” Anisimova stated she’s familiar with their players, particularly dods (Caue Fernandes). She believes playing on stage builds their team’s confidence and expects a stronger performance tomorrow. While acknowledging KRU’s strength in Latin America, Glance emphasized that KC has significant experience competing in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, so they don’t anticipate any unexpected challenges in the match.
