Gen.G’s 2025 Roster Leaked
Despite T1 being the champions of the 2024 World Championship, transfer news surrounding this team has been notably absent. This is primarily because the current T1 players are focused on re-signing contracts rather than seeking new teams, leading other teams to refrain from contacting them. Conversely, stars from Gen.G have been frequently mentioned in transfer discussions as they consider finding new opportunities following their unsuccessful run in the 2024 LCK Summer and the World Championship.
However, on the evening of November 17, several credible sources revealed that Gen.G’s roster for the upcoming season has been finalized. Key players such as Kiin, Canyon, and Chovy are reportedly set to re-sign with the team. Additionally, Ruler is expected to return to his former team as the AD carry, playing alongside a relatively unknown player, Duro.
“Fan-Favorite AD Carry†Likely to Be Excluded by Gen.G
If the information above is accurate, current Gen.G AD carry Peyz will be the one to exit to make way for Ruler. Peyz has recently signed a representation contract with Supergent and is likely to move to the LPL. This is due to Supergent representing many players currently competing in the LPL. Furthermore, numerous teams in the region are interested in acquiring Peyz for the upcoming season, particularly EDG.
Reflecting on the 2024 season, Peyz’s performance and development have been somewhat disappointing. After consecutive LCK championships and notably winning the MSI 2024, expectations were high for him to become the “number one AD carry in the world.” However, painful defeats in the 2024 LCK Summer and World Championship revealed that Peyz has yet to demonstrate the composure of a top star. He appeared relatively “harmless,” contributing little to the overall team play unless his teammates provided advantages or carefully nurtured him.
As a result, Gen.G often faced defeat under the same scenario, where opponents would tightly lock down the top side while their AD carry failed to pose a significant threat. This may be the reason behind Gen.G’s decision (if true) to bring in Ruler, who possesses extensive experience and the ability to perform under pressure. This change could potentially stabilize Gen.G in crucial matches, aiming for greater success.
As for Peyz, transitioning to the LPL (if it happens) may not be a negative outcome. The competitive environment in the LPL, while not as harsh as the LCK, still offers enough competition for Peyz to enhance his skills. Who knows, Peyz might thrive in the LPL and “unlock” new playstyles and mindsets, evolving into a stronger AD carry in the future.
