NOVA Esports Finalizes GC Roster for 2025 Season

NOVA Esports has officially announced its roster for the 2025 VALORANT Game Changers season, featuring a mix of returning players and fresh additions. The team will look to improve on its fourth-place finish in the 2024 Game Changers CN circuit with this revamped lineup.

Nova Esports GC retained “Yyni” and Huang “7wYy” Qian-yun from its 2024 roster while bringing in three new signings. Wang “Clem” Ke-ching and “7er” join to reinforce their firepower, while Kelly “shirazi” Jaudian makes history as the first Filipino player in the CN Game Changers circuit. The former Team SMG and Xipto Esports player was seen in Shanghai as early as March, visiting the VCT CN Arena alongside her new teammates.

Clem arrives from Chao Hui EDG and Trace Esports GC, taking on the duelist role with an aggressive playstyle. Meanwhile, 7er, formerly of Killer Angel Girls ESC, will handle sentinel duties. The duo will complement Nova Esports GC’s existing core while adapting to the evolving Game Changers CN meta.

NOVA Esports GC will also benefit from the leadership and experience of shirazi, who spent two dominant years with the Team SMG/Xipto Esports core. During that period, they remained undefeated in the Pacific region’s Game Changers circuit and finished fourth at the Game Changers Championship in São Paulo and Berlin.

NOVA Esports GC will be counting on this revamped lineup to push for a stronger finish in 2025 after falling short last year. Though details for the upcoming season remain undisclosed, the team is expected to debut in Game Changers CN soon, aiming to cement its place among the region’s top competitors.
