DaNa joins as one of the region's most feared Duelist players. She finished Korea Stage 2 as the tournament's best player by far, finishing with the highest rating, ACS, K:D, and ADR. Staying alongside her will be 332, who was the team's Sentinel player to start the year but became a flex player for the team in the tail end, playing the Controller, Initiator, and Duelist roles in addition to her duties as a Sentinel. NTZ in-game leader h4ste is expected to continue in the same role with GEN.G's GC squad. She was the Controller player for Ninetails last year, and with the roles of the squad around her, is also expected to continue in that role.
Joining the NTZ trio will be a pair that competed together in the Japanese GC circuit last season. miNt, who has been a prodigy of sorts in Korean Valorant since breaking out onto the scene as a 15-year-old ranked player, has competed for FENNEL GC for the past three seasons as its primary Duelist player. Last year, alongside former

, she formed one of the Pacific region's strongest one-two punches. YamzzI had been on FENNEL GC for just over two seasons, joining midway through the team's 2023 campaign. While playing with miNt, she primarily occupied the team's Initiator role, and should be expected to continue in that role.
