This did not deter the Latin American team, with another year of a near-perfect record following the move. They qualified to play against the victors of the LATAM North circuit to determine which team would go on to the Championship. They bested FiRePOWER once again, this time in an even more dominant fashion.
Team SMG first entered Game Changers in 2022, though their initial foray was not particularly successful. They placed second in the final APAC Open, and were third in overall standings, but went out early in the final tournament to qualify to the Berlin Championship.
In 2023 they rebuilt the roster around
