G2 Gozen’s star player, Petra ‘Petra’ Stoker, has announced her retirement from competitive VALORANT, marking the end of her remarkable four-year journey in the Game Changers series. This decision follows an inability to agree on a new contract with G2 ahead of the 2026 season.
Petra shared that after much thought, she has chosen to step back from professional play, a decision she describes as the hardest she’s ever made. Despite this, Petra intends to remain active in the esports community through her Twitch streaming channel.
### Petra’s Journey in VALORANT
Transitioning from a successful CS:GO career, Petra launched her VALORANT journey in 2021 with XSET Female before joining G2 Gozen later that year. During her time with G2, Petra became renowned for her strategic prowess and high-stakes performance, clinching the inaugural Game Changers Championship and nine Game Changers EMEA titles.
Reflecting on her achievements, Petra expressed pride in her ten VALORANT victories and fondly recalled her early CS:GO days as pivotal in shaping her career and personal growth.
### Who Will Replace Petra on G2 Gozen?
As of now, G2 Gozen has not revealed who will fill Petra’s shoes, but fans can anticipate an announcement by December. The team, having secured a spot in the 2025 Game Changers Championship, will receive a direct invite to the local Challengers League qualifier scheduled for January 2026.
