The VCT Game Changers Championship 2022 is a major Valorant esports event that's organized and hosted by the publisher of the game itself, Riot Games. With the event more than halfway through, only four of the original eight teams remain in the race for the Champions title, with Cloud9 White being in the top four.
Cloud9 White is a North American esports organization that has been a beacon in the region, crushing through its opponents and establishing its own place in the hierarchy. The team secured first place in VCT 2022: Game Changers North America Series 1, 2, and 3 by defeating Shopify Rebellion in the final match-ups consecutively.

Melanie "meL" Capone plays the Sentinel role for her team and has demonstrated top-tier gunplay alongside a thorough understanding of the role and her team's requirements. Her flexible positioning on the map and mechanical prowess makes her one of the best Chamber players in the world. She is a capable fragger on the attacking side, opening up pathways for C9W to push and take control of a site, and is an efficient defender as well, routinely taking down multiple enemies before giving up a site.
In a brief conversation with Sportskeeda, when asked if her team would change some strategies to be unpredictable or aim to primarily capitalize on their opponent’s mistakes, meL stated:
"We play our own game when it comes to matches and if mistakes come out, they are usually forced by us. They don’t just make a mistake most of the time."
MeL spoke about the confidence of C9W as a team, stating that they're able to force their opponents to take unnecessary steps and potentially slip up. These mistakes are then capitalized on by the North American team, as they surgically dissect the opposing team's strategies.
Clarifying her previous statement, she said:
"Actually, I take it back, these teams actually make a lot of mistakes and we just capitalize. But same as we have always been, we don’t really want to overplay too deeply into the prep and just play our own game."
C9W meL expanded on her previous answer and admitted that many of their opponents have made mistakes, a fact that her team was able to take advantage of to potentially win a round. Most recently, they played against Guild X and won by a significant margin on both maps with a clean scoreline of 2-0, eliminating the British team from the VCT Game Changers Championship 2022.
