Rumors: GRUBINHO to transfer from MKOI to GIANTX VALORANT

Grzegorz "GRUBINHO" Ryczko is set to leave MKOI’s roster and join GIANTX ’ VALORANT lineup ahead of VCT 2025: EMEA Stage 2, according to a report from Sheep Esports.

The Polish player, currently a member of MKOI’s main roster, may be moving to GIANTX ’ starting five. Both teams have faced challenges early in the VCT 2025 season, finishing below average at both the EMEA Kickoff and EMEA Stage 1. This has sparked numerous rumors about potential roster changes. For GIANTX , this VCT season could be their last if results don’t improve in the upcoming tournaments, especially during EMEA Stage 2.
