This is the same team that played together as Grace Esports and was crowned as the champion of Skyesports Grand Slam Season 3 also known as Skyesports Luna, held offline at Pragati Maidan, Delhi.

The team will be competing as Global Esports Phoenix in the upcoming VCT 2023: Game Changers APAC and it has already registered for the tournament.

At the time of writing this article, Global Esports Phoenix has been matched up against a team called Empyrean Horizon for its opening match of the tournament, which is the first round of the group stage. However, do take this particular piece of information with a pinch of salt because the schedule and opponents have not yet been finalized and could be subjected to changes.

All the players in this lineup were actually shortlisted by Global Esports last year when multiple tryouts were held to pick the playing five for its female Valorant roster.

It will be interesting to see how the team goes on to perform in the VCT 2023: Game Changers APAC which will run for a total of eight months from March to October with a total prize pool of $75,000 USD.
