The roster features five players returning from their third place finish in Contenders Korea last season, as well as three new rookies in Haeim , someone and Be9 .
The three of them joined from Gen.G's multiple academy teams, where they have made many appearances in the Overwatch Korea Cup. In particular, someone and Haeim were awarded the MVP award in the October and November finals, respectively.
The new additions will be replacing Glister, creative and DNCE after they left the team during the offseason. Glister and creative went to the Overwatch League on the London Spitfire and Seoul Dynasty, respectively. DNCE moved to a management position on Gamecoach Academy, the parent company of Element Mystic.
This would not be the first time Gen.G lifted players from their academy teams. Support player Bliss joined the main Contenders team after playing for Gen.A.
Gen.G have also made changes in their coaching staff. They added nOrU , who previously coached RunAway to two championship titles in Contenders Korea.
The seeding tournament for Contenders Korea will begin on January 15.
