Team GRAPHT will be expanding their reach outside of Japan by signing Leah "Gllty" Hayes. The long time GuiltySword member, will now be the first North American representative of the growing Japanese esports team.

GRAPHT, the Japanese esports organization that started some time last year, has a number of high profile Street Fighter V in their rankings. Names like Tatsuya Haitani, Keita "Fuudo" Ai and Joe "MOV" Egami are all part of the movement to bring credibility to Japanese esports.





Gllty may not have the credentials of the players mentioned but she has been active at some of SFV's biggest events, being an invitee of the ELEAGUE SFV first season.





In the press release regarding her arrival, she said, “I am overwhelmed with optimism and incredibly flattered and humbled by this experience and look forward to sharing my passion for combat eSports not just at home in America, but also connect with fans in Asia and beyond. ”
