Gen.G Esports have confirmed a major shake-up to their Marvel Rivals roster, releasing four players following the conclusion of the Ignite Mid Season Finals.

The announcement, made on 19 August, 2025, sees strategist Shin ‘Dotori’ Hyun-jong, vanguard Jung ‘FUNFUN’ Seung-hyun, and duellists Bae ‘KAIDIA’ Jung-hyun and Jung ‘Xzi’ Ki-hyo all depart from the gold and black.

Both FUNFUN and Dotori have already taken to social media to say they’re looking for new opportunities. As of now, only Choi ‘Brownie’ Min-gi, Sin ‘CHOPPA’ Jae-hyeon and Jung ‘Snake’ Rae-won remain with the team.

Gen.G’s Journey So Far

While the news marks a big change, Gen.G’s Marvel Rivals journey has been an eventful one since it officially entered the scene on 15 May, 2025.

Before that, the org had already tested the waters with an academy roster, finishing as runner-up at the Season 1: Eternal Night Falls Championship. After that run, Gen.G committed fully, pulling in four members of the original roster alongside three new signings from the title-winning squad Uprise, including FUNFUN, CHOPPA, and Brownie.

The new-look roster quickly made appearances in big events. Just days after forming, Gen.G competed at The Shroud Gauntlet on 17 May, finishing fifth after being knocked out 1–2 by Sentinels in the Lower Bracket Quarterfinals.

In Asia’s Ignite Stage 1, Gen.G pushed all the way to the grand final before falling just short against REJECT in a close 3–4 series. But their form dipped at the Mid Season Finals, where Gen.G became the first team eliminated after a 0–2 loss to ENVY in the Play-In Stage.

What’s Next for Gen.G?

Despite the rough showing, Gen.G have secured an invite to Ignite Stage 2 thanks to their Stage 1 performance. While exact dates haven’t been confirmed, the event is expected to run between September and October.

For now, the roster sits at three players, with no replacements announced. Whether Gen.G opts to rebuild around Brownie, CHOPPA, and Snake or looks to bring in fresh talent from outside remains to be seen.

Gen.G’s overhaul comes during a wider period of roster changes in Marvel Rivals. Sentinels recently parted ways with three of their own players, and even the reigning Ignite Mid Season Finals champions are searching for a new home after cutting ties with Rad EU.

One thing’s for sure: Stage 2 is already shaping up to look very different, and all eyes will be on which squads can rebuild fastest.
