The acquisition of Alexy, enerii, and Kamiyu also means that Team Falcons Vega will be competing in the Pacific region moving forward.
SAUDI ARABIA – Team Falcons has unveiled its new Game Changers roster, featuring three new star players from Xipto Esports GC.
The organization waved goodbye to Nur “eva” Çakır, Sandra “Sandra” Sherif, and Maria “TookiiTookii” Perez, with the trio having made their last appearance at the 2024 Saudi Womens eLeague Championship and the 2024 VALORANT Game Changers Championship.
In their place, Falcons secured the three former Xipto Esports GC trio, also recently recognized as the top three Pacific Game Changers players at the 2024 VALO2ASIA Awards: Alexandria “Alexy” Francisco, Odella “enerii” Abraham, and Camille “Kamiyu” Enriquez. They join forces with 2022 GC World Champion Maryam “Mary” Maher and in-game leader Modhi “madv” Alkanhal, both of whom continue from the previous roster.

The three new recruits bring unparalleled experience from the Pacific region. Alexy, enerii, and Kamiyu have been playing together since the start of 2023, during which they dominated the 2023 Pacific season with an impeccable 34-0 record. This flawless performance earned them a spot at the 2023 VALORANT Game Changers Championship, where they secured an impressive 4th-place finish under the Team SMG banner.
Their dominance carried seamlessly into the 2024 season under the Xipto Esports banner. The Pacific superteam with Filipino-Indonesian combine sustained their unbeaten streak even as the qualifier expanded to include East Asian teams. Their exceptional run culminated in another appearance at the 2024 VALORANT Game Changers Championship, where they once again achieved a 4th-place finish. Undoubtedly, they are the strongest trio any team could hope to secure from the Pacific region.
Meanwhile, madv has been a cornerstone of the Falcons Vega roster since mid-2022. Known for her high-fragging output while being the in-game leader, she has consistently been the team’s top-rated player when competing against top EMEA opposition and has also often ranked as the highest-rated player in the entire domestic Saudi Arabian Game Changers competitions.

Mary, prior to his Falcons Vega time, was a member of G2 Gozen in 2022 where she helped them win the Game Changers Championship and was named Grand Finals MVP. After taking a break in 2023 to complete her studies, the now 18-year-old returned to play with Falcons Vega. Together, they recently qualified for the 2024 VALORANT Game Changers Championship, where they finished in 7th-8th place.
It has also been confirmed that with the addition of the Pacific trio, Falcons Vega will be transitioning from the EMEA region to compete in the Pacific region moving forward.
