G2 Esports recently made headlines in the gaming community with the announcement of the disbandment of G2 Hel, their women’s League of Legends team. This marks the end of a significant chapter for both the organization and the team members, who have left a lasting impact on the esports scene.
The End of G2 Hel
The decision to close down G2 Hel was revealed on December 19th, 2025. This news came just two weeks after the team celebrated their victory at the Nova Series: Prélude tournament. A video released by the organization highlighted memorable moments from the team’s tenure, commemorating their achievements over the years.
The organization did not provide specific reasons behind the decision to disband G2 Hel. Over the past three years, G2 Hel has been a formidable force in the women’s League of Legends tournaments across Europe, securing victories in events like the Storm Takeover, Coupe des Etoiles, and the Nova Series.
A Celebrated Team and Its Achievements
G2 Hel made history in May 2025 by becoming the first female team to be promoted to Liga Nexo, the second division of the European Regional League. The team accumulated a total of eight titles during its active years, establishing itself as one of the premier women’s teams in regional competitions.
In January 2025, the addition of players Rym ‘rym’ Salloum and ‘Zeniv’ bolstered the team’s roster, leading to success in the TRIFORC3 TOURNAMENT and the Equal Esports Cup of that year. G2 Hel was also a pioneer in the League of Legends Game Changers Rising initiative.
Reflections and Future Prospects
The announcement of the disbandment was met with emotional responses from team members and fans alike. Maya ‘Caltys’ Henckel expressed gratitude for the support from G2 Esports and the fans, hinting at new beginnings in 2026. “It’s the end of an era, but it’s not the end,” she noted, leaving fans eager for what the future holds for her and other former G2 Hel members.
