Gen.G Disbands its CS:GO Team
In December of 2020, Gen.G placed their entire roster on the transfer list. This squad included Timothy “autimatic” Ta, Kenneth “koosta” Suen, Hansel “BnTeT” Ferdinand, and Chris “Elmapuddy” Tebbit. Autimatic recently revealed that he is stepping away from CS:GO and joining T1's Valorant team. Following the recent developments, Gen.G has decided that it will no longer be a part of the North American CS:GO scene.
Gen.G first made their way into CS:GO in December of 2019, after acquiring the former core of Cloud9's roster. The squad initially proved to be successful in 2020 after being crowned champions of DreamHack Open Anaheim 2020 and ESL One: Road to Rio - North America. In the second half of the year, they failed to replicate the success they had initially found.
Although Gen.G's CS:GO pursuits have reached their conclusion, they will continue forward with their other rosters. The organization is involved with games such as League of Legends, Overwatch, Valorant, Fortnite, and PUBG. Additionally, they have a team of content creators who are active on YouTube and Twitch.
