has announced the re-signing of Kim "t3xture"
Na-ra (김나라).
The organization announced that the Duelist's new deal with the team will run until 2027.
t3xture was among the group of four players and three coaches that were released by Gen.G on October 20, following the expiration of their contracts. While the announcement sparked speculation on the futures of the Masters Shanghai-winning core of Munchkin , Karon , and Lakia , Gen.G's re-signing of t3xture will see them hold on to one of the most revered Duelist players in South Korea.
Known for his play on high-speed Duelists, one of the best Operator users in the world, and as one of for his 4K abilities, t3xture broke out onto the scene in 2024 with Gen.G. Before Gen.G, t3xture spent the 2023 season on

Gen.G and t3xture had a trophy-laden 2024 campaign. They became the first Korean champions of Pacific by lifting titles at Pacific Kickoff and Pacific Stage 2. They also became the first team from the region to win a VCT title at Masters Shanghai, where t3xture was named the MVP of the event. After replacing two departing players from that squad, Gen.G started the 2025 season falling short of expectations. The team missed out on Masters Bangkok following a third-place finish at Kickoff, forcing another rebuild that saw the team reassess or part ways with their two newcomers.
Improved form in Stage 1 saw
