Gen.G have been without a fifth since benching Michael "MkaeL" De Luca in early September, and afterwards sought out the aid of Nolan "Temperature" Pepper on a loan from Evil Geniuses Evil Geniuses North America Rank #17 supamen Phat Le bao Bao Nguyen Okeanos Anthony Nguyen dgzin Douglas Silva C0M Corbin Lee . After being eliminated from the NA LCQ by Cloud9 Cloud9 North America Rank #8 Xeppaa Erick Bach v1c Victor Truong Zellsis Jordan Montemurro penny Erik Penny OXY Francis Hoang , Temperature's loan ended, leaving the team once again without a full roster.

While rhyme's addition to Gen.G's North American squad is unusual, there have been other players that have joined North American teams from outside their home countries.

Pure speculation but maybe if they want to keep Rhyme as a duelist/second Initiator they switch Shawn back to Sova and Koosta back to Sentinel or since I think Rhyme can flex well maybe just him to Sova?

Na Rhyme has had the initiator role below so im guessing he is getting the kay/o skye type role

Koosta back sentinel would be nice, especially now since chamber is an OP agent. But I thought mCe said he didn't like that role

Actually didn't know that but if that's true then I don't know how they do this cause I feel like he'd be the easiest to switch rolls with given his experience

gMd smokes, Shawn skye/second duelist, Nature jett, Koosta viper/sova, Rhyme flexible sentinel/sova/viper would be my guess. Hoped for a jett specialist

I guess I was more trying to keep Rhyme in the second Initiator/Raze but I feel like the point of signing him was his flexibility so this would work. I agree though that they definitely could have used a Jett specialist. NaturE is good but there are definitely better roles that he could fill

If he does well everyone will say “EU saved NA”

If he does poorly people will say “washed Eu goes to retire in NA for free money”

No one in NA wins with this transfer, only annoying geng fans that have never been able to accept that their team is the most overrated team in NA.

Gen.g is not good lol. But how are they overrated?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!
I mean on this website they generally fly below the radar so they just get a mid placing usually. But there's no way you can say that they are the most overrated=.
