Gen.G closed their lineup for 2025 with an incredible roaster, renewing with Kiin, Canyon, and Chovy, and adding Ruler and Duro to the team.

The Korean team Gen.G announced on its official X account that Jeong "Chovy" Ji-hoon and Park "Ruler" Jae-hyuk are signed until 2027. Both mid-laner and bot-laner joined to conquer the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) with an all-star roaster. The Ruler's return to the Korean league excited fans for next year.

Ruler's return to Gen.G

Ruler was part of Gen.G when that name didn't even exist: the team was called KSV eSports. It was rebranded in 2018 to Gen.G as we know it today. ADC Ruler was part of the lineup between 2016 and 2022 when he left the Korean league to play for JD Gaming in the League of Legends Pro League (LPL). After two years, Ruler came back to Korea and his old home: Gen.G. Now, one of the best Koren ADCs, as many fans call him, signed a three-year contract with the team.

Duro replaces Lehends

As for the support role, left by Son "Lehends" Si-woo who played for Gen.G for a year and 19 days, the Korean player Joo "Duro" Min-kyu will occupy his place. The 22-year-old support entered the LCK in 2021 and will now represent Gen.G after leaving BNK FearX. He represented his country at the Esports Championships East Asia 2023 and won against China 2-0.

Kiin, Canyon, and Chovy will keep going

As for the rest of the team, Kim "Kiin" Gi-in, Kim "Canyon" Geon-bu, and Chovy renewed their contracts with Gen.G, being part of the lineup for 2025. Like Ruler, Chovy will be playing for the Korean team for three more years. They were dominant in the first LCK split, reached the finals in the second split, and fought in League of Legends Worlds 2024 (LoL Worlds).
