G2 Minnesota, Paris Gentle Mates Lock Rosters After Landmark Envoy–Estreal Swap

G2 Minnesota and Paris Gentle Mates have officially locked in their lineups for the new stage, and they’ve done it historically. The two organizations completed the first trade in Call of Duty League history, agreeing to a straight swap that sends Dylan "Envoy" Hannon to G2 Minnesota and Justice "Estreal" McMillan to Paris Gentle Mates. It’s a landmark move that not only reshapes both starting lineups but also will reenergize two darkhorse teams heading into the final stage of the season.

For Minnesota, the trade was only part of a broader reset. The team also completed a high-profile acquisition by securing Byron "Nastie" Plumridge from Boston Breach, finalizing a buyout to bring the English star into the fold. To make room, Minnesota has benched Paul "Mamba" Solano, opening up a slot for Nastie to slide into the starting four. With Envoy arriving via trade and Nastie joining as a marquee pickup, Minnesota enters this stage with a revamped core built around a higher ceiling and more proven firepower.

On the other side, Paris Gentle Mates get a veteran in Estreal, whose versatility and objective excellence should immediately bolster the squad after middling results in the last two stages. While Minnesota’s moves lean toward star power and upside, Paris’s side of the trade is about flexibility, increased floor, & getting the most out of their star players.

As the new stage begins, both teams will be under the microscope. Minnesota’s rebuilt lineup will be expected to convert its aggressive roster moves into real results, while Paris will look to improve before their home Major in Paris.
