In the other seat of the Aurunan team, Olivia Stone was replaced by Sara Luna, who left Tropicorp. At Tropicorp, Chromatik newcomer Ji So-Yeong filled the empty seat. Skiia Vialiv, formerly a Tropicorp reserve, joined the promoted Urotovsky-Gatutin along with the Fleftic Adonis Fitzpatrick, promoted from the team stint in WGP2.
