The announcement was shared on December 19, 2025, with a short farewell video highlighting some of the most memorable moments from the team’s latest roster. The news arrives just two weeks after G2 Hel claimed victory at Nova Series Prélude, closing their run with another trophy.
Three Years of Dominance Comes to an End
Since launching in 2022, G2 Hel quickly established itself as one of the strongest women’s teams competing in League of Legends across Europe. Over that period, the roster dominated multiple regional tournaments, lifting titles at events such as Storm Takeover, Coupe des Etoiles, and the Nova Series.
In total, the team secured eight titles, a remarkable achievement that cemented G2 Hel’s reputation as a benchmark for competitive excellence in the women’s League of Legends ecosystem.
“Today we are saying goodbye to the G2 Hel project,” G2 Esports wrote on social media. “From unhinged memes to more than three years of dominance, thank you for everything.”
The organisation did not provide a reason for ending the project.
Recent Success and a Strong Final Chapter
Despite the closure, G2 Hel’s final year was filled with success. In January 2025, the organisation signed Rym ‘rym’ Salloum and ‘Zeniv’, a move that paid off with victories at the TRIFORC3 Tournament and the 2025 edition of the Equal Esports Cup.
The team also became one of the first rosters to compete in League of Legends Game Changers Rising, reinforcing its role as a trailblazer within the women’s competitive scene.
A Legacy Beyond Trophies
One of G2 Hel’s most historic moments came in May, when the team earned promotion to Liga Nexo. That achievement made them the first female roster to advance into the European Regional League’s second division, a milestone that resonated far beyond G2 Esports itself.
Players and fans alike reflected on the impact of the project following the announcement. Maya ‘Caltys’ Henckel shared an emotional message, thanking the organisation and supporters for their backing throughout the journey.
“It’s the end of an era, but it’s not the end,” she wrote. “2026 will be very different for me, and I’m excited to share it soon.”
What’s Next for G2 and Women’s LoL
While G2 Hel is no more, its influence on women’s League of Legends in Europe is undeniable. The project helped raise visibility, set competitive standards, and prove that women’s teams can thrive at the highest regional levels.
As G2 Esports continues to expand across esports and content, the legacy of G2 Hel will remain a defining chapter in the organisation’s history, and in the wider push for growth and recognition in women’s competitive gaming.
