Nathan "leaf" Orf is returning to the G2 Esports VALORANT starting lineup after a forced break, the organization officially announced on its social media channels.

Leaf, who had previously been moved to the bench ahead of the Esports World Cup 2025 due to health issues, is officially back on the roster and will play in the starting five on August 29 in the VCT 2025: Americas Stage 2 playoffs against Sentinels .

It is worth noting that Andrej "babybay" Francisty filled in during his absence and fit in quite well, as the team suffered only one loss in seven matches.

G2 Esports have already secured qualification for Champions 2025, so the only prizes at stake for them in VCT 2025: Americas Stage 2 are monetary. The first place comes with $100,000, while a victory over Sentinels on August 29 would guarantee them at least second place in the tournament.
