One of the biggest stars of the women’s CS2 scene is switching games. Mayline-Joy “ASTRA” Champliaud, formerly of BIG EQUIPA, has announced her move from CS2 to Valorant.
According to ASTRA, she missed practicing and competing, while the future of women’s Counter-Strike currently doesn’t look too promising. With no new major tournaments on the horizon, she decided to try her luck in Valorant’s growing competitive scene.
Her ambitions haven’t changed, though — ASTRA still wants to compete for one thing only: victory. Which Valorant team she’ll join remains unknown.

ASTRA leaves CS2 on a high note. At the 2025 HLTV Awards, she was named the best female player of the year, while BIG EQUIPA took home the award for the best women’s team.
Now we’ll see if one of CS2’s top female players can make just as big of an impact in Valorant.
