In a surprising turn of events, Gen.G Esports has initiated a major shakeup in its League of Legends roster, releasing key players including Chovy and Peanut as their contracts reach expiration. The star-studded lineup, which recently dominated the 2023 season in the LCK, witnessed the departure of Chovy, Peanut, Doran, and Delight. The only remaining member from the championship roster is AD carry Peyz, whose contract extends until the next season.

Gen.G Part Ways With Four of Its LoL Players

Gen.G's decision to part ways with the majority of their successful squad has sent shockwaves through the League community. Despite clinching both LCK splits and securing a fourth-place finish at the Mid-Season Invitational, the team faced an unexpected setback at Worlds, bowing out in the quarterfinals to Bilibili Gaming.

Adding to the transformation, the coaching trio of Score, Mafa, and Museong has also bid farewell to Gen.G. The organization expressed gratitude for their immense contributions, signaling a comprehensive reset for the LCK's top seed in League of Legends.

Chovy and Peanut, now unrestricted free agents, are anticipated to become highly sought-after in the upcoming LCK roster shuffle. The duo's availability is expected to attract significant interest as teams look to strengthen their lineups for the upcoming season.

While roster reshuffles are common in the League scene, Gen.G's announcement hints at a complete release of the players, suggesting they may not don the white and gold jerseys in the 2024 season. The destination of Gen.G's star players remains uncertain, and the League community eagerly awaits updates on their future endeavors.

In addition to the main roster overhaul, Gen.G has also made changes to its academy squad, parting ways with Zest, Casting, Winner, Ophelia, Carfe, and Lospa, along with coach Nova. This decision follows a fifth-place finish in the LCK Challengers League, culminating in a 3-0 defeat by Hanwha Life Challengers in the elimination playoffs.

As T1 celebrates an epic win in Seoul, more free agents are expected to emerge, adding complexity to the League landscape. The full composition of Gen.G's roster for the upcoming season remains a mystery, and fans will have to wait for further announcements as the dust settles in the aftermath of T1's triumph.
