ORG OVERVIEW
-Generational Gaming, frequently abbreviated to GenG, is a South Korean esports org that was founded in 2017 from the pre-existing KSV esports structure.
-They currently compete in NBA 2K, PUBG, Overwatch (under the Seoul Dynasty), LoL, Rocket League, and VALORANT. They also host a slew of content creators
-They also previously competed in Heroes of the Storm, Clash Royale, Fortnite, CoD BO4, Apex, and CSGO
-Prior to the partnership program, all of GenG’s valorant activities have taken place in North America
-According to Forbes, the org is valued at over 185 million USD, making them the 6th most valuable esports org in the world.
NORTH AMERICAN ROSTER
-GenG’s North American team was their first official venture into Valorant, despite being a South Korean Org. The majority of this overview will go over On Sla2ers, which consisted of 3 players currently on GenG before disbanding (OnSla2ers matches are also listed under GenG on VLR)
-GenG’s initial venture into Valorant consisted of ex-counter strike pros looking for a new home, with matches extending as far back as May 2020. The team would struggle through first strike and fall short of playoffs
-Despite a slew of roster moves and some promising results, GenG failed to attend any international events, only putting up a 3rd place finish at the regional Masters 1. After a 5th-6th place exit in LCQ, GenG were done for the 2021 season and overhauled their roster
-In 2022 GenG failed to make either of the group stages, ending their VCT season in May. The team still played some offseason tournaments, but when they began to forfeit matches in the MCT Premiership, many realized GenG’s time in North America was over.
KOREAN ROSTER
-The roster that would become On Sla2ers and partially GenG later on consisted of
-k1ng
-bazzi
-TS
-zunba
-GodDead-The team played their way through the open qualifiers and earned themselves a spot in the Korean challengers group stage, and made their way all through the playoff bracket to the grand finals with the opportunity to qualify for Masters 1, but fell short to DRX and were swept 0-3.
-In the second challengers split, On Sla2ers won their first 3 matches in groups, but lost week 4, and bombed out of playoffs shortly after. K1ng and zunba departed the roster shortly after.
-Eko and Estrella were brought in as stand-ins for LCQ. They lost their opening match to Chinese representatives EDG, but clawed their way through the lower bracket to secure a rematch in the grand finals against EDG, who again beat them 0-3.
-Shortly after it was announced GenG had made franchising, TS and Eko were both picked up and reunited with k1ng, and Meteor joined from Northeption. Secret from desperado would round out the roster with iNTRO as a 6th man, but iNTRO would depart the roster in late december. There are no current reports on who the new substitute could be.
-Assuming no further roster moves are made, GenG in Sao Paolo will be:
-Secret
-TS
-Eko
-k1ng
