The Filipino controller is set to make her debut in Nova Esports colors at VCT Game Changers CN, though details for this season are still under wraps.

The former Team SMG and Xipto Esports player has been seen in Shanghai since early March, including a visit to the VCT CN Arena, alongside her new Nova Esports GC teammates, which now include Wang “Clem” Ke-ching (ex-Chao Hui EDG & Trace Esports GC) and “7er” (ex-Killer Angel Girls ESC).

CHINA – Kelly “shirazi” Jaudian has officially signed with Nova Esports GC to compete in VCT Game Changers CN (China), VALO2ASIA has learned.

With Xipto’s Game Changers squad disbanding following the end of the 2024 season, Alexandria “Alexy” Francisco, Odella “enerii” Abraham, and Camille “Kamiyu” Enriquez stuck together and were picked up by Team Falcons to compete in the SEA circuit. Meanwhile, shirazi has now taken a different path, making the move to the CN Game Changers circuit—becoming the first Filipino player to do so.

Rounding out the roster, Huang “7wYy” Qian-yun and “Yyni” have been retained from the previous 2024 roster.
