The renowned esports team, GIANTX, has revealed its new female VALORANT team for the 2024 season, marking its official entry into the professional female circuit with Game Changers 2024. This Spanish team joins the competition under the banner of the giants, further solidifying GIANTX’s presence in the global esports scene.
Success Story: Mergers and Previous Participation
The Malaga-based team, previously independent and later merged with the British EXCEL, has continued to achieve success in the highest echelons of esports.
Now with the official announcement of their foray into the professional female VALORANT circuit, a new chapter in the club’s history opens. It is worth noting that Giants had previously participated in various female tournaments, demonstrating their commitment to diversity in esports.

Both “Smurfette” and “Ness” shared a trajectory in the Turkish team FUT Female and Guild GC. “Miyori,” also of Turkish origin, comes from NAVI Celestials. “Joliinaa,” a Swedish national, was with Acend, while “Sarah,” British, was part of the prominent international team G2 Gozen over the past year.
Long-Term Commitment to Female Teams
Giants Gaming has been a pioneer in creating female teams in recent years. David Alonso, sports director, expressed the team’s vision by stating that they want to be “an alternative in the medium term that can compete head-to-head with the current giants.” This commitment reflects GIANTX’s aspiration to excel not only as a successful team but also as an egalitarian force in the world of esports.
