Stepping up as true leaders of the kpop industry.

#GENG 2021 Summer Split Roster Update

one thing I'd like to add is that even from the gaming / esports side here in Korea, when BTS does something like this, it creates a much stronger ability for us to act and speak up since they have such a big platform and can change what is acceptable within all entertainment

Prayers up for @nemesis_lol who is having a tough time today 🙏 🙏 🙏 He needs the communities support more than ever. It’s national girlfriend day and I don’t think he’s ever interacted with one. #PrayForNemesis

Dear riot, my thesis why we should move Worlds Grand Finals to Brazil: 1. All league players love Korean BBQ 2. SF has awful, overpriced Korean food 3. Brazilian BBQ is the only real competitor to Korean BBQ 4. We need to see the Korean vs Brazilian BBQ showdown 5. Caralho

Whatever blessing Minju gave Kiin here, it worked

Our journey continues, but I’d be remiss not to acknowledge Peanut. His impact on our team and organization can’t be overstated. Whatever heights we reach, it’s because we stand on the shoulders of greats who’ve left their mark on us.

This hurts the chances of TSM signing chovy greatly

I think this might be a dating scandal

Just when we were starting to win over western fans…

Though we had a team option to extend his contract, when he asked to become an FA, I knew there’s no way we would stand in his way. He has proven himself with the team every step of the way, and I respect and admire his desire to take the next step in his incredible career.

I think these pauses are a bit unfair for EG. @TSM has been having comm issues all season so they’re much better prepared for this.

I’m genuinely hyped about this match

Still can’t believe this is happening! @B_hundred_Hyun & the @GenG_KR PUBG team on their quest to get a 🍗 dinner 🤩

Love that even our French fans have our backs! Nous les aimons

Our Worlds journey has come to an end, and in this moment of reflection, I want to start by acknowledging the difficulties and the disappointments we faced at Worlds. I genuinely feel the weight and the heartbreak of these moments, and I am truly sorry that we couldn’t deliver the results we all hoped for… and that our fans deserved. Yet, even in these low points, I am deeply inspired by the unwavering support and unity of our community. I have shed tears as messages have flooded in from all around the world showing support for our team even in this dark time. The heartfelt encouragement for our players has been incredibly motivating and a reminder of what made me fall in love with esports in the first place. It is a privilege to come to work every day and be part of this special community that we are building. We know there are areas where we must grow and improve, and we are fully committed to that journey. We will not rest until we have addressed these challenges and emerged stronger, better, and more united than ever. For us, getting ready for the 2026 season starts today. One final note to all our fans: Thank you for being the heart and soul of Gen.G.

Pro advice is always the funniest because they just can’t comprehend us plebs

I want worlds in Brazil can the riot gods make that happen? Social media managers who sicritly have all the power @LCK @lolesports please make it happen Also @portilho do something

The Vegas x League of Legends Reference table: LCK = Poker LPL = Roulette LEC = Craps LCS = free drinks

I ended up paying $100 for the Logan / Floyd fight because the showtime app didn’t work for me. I’ll end the debate now: it was me - I was the biggest loser of that fight.

GGs and congratulations to @T1LoL and their incredible, historic split. We go again in summer.

Think a press conference could be helpful @lhfaria

Chovy says he kinda likes the isolation room. More space + doesn’t smell as bad as the scrim room + food dropped off at his door every day. He’s doing fine no symptoms and can’t wait until he clears protocol. This kid is 💯 just about winning.

🙏

This is the type of content more teams should produce. We can't be afraid to show the reality of how much passion there is in this sport and what it takes to become a champion. I don't know enough abt EDG but one thing I see from this clip is that there are ZERO personal attacks

The best thing that ever happened to me was that this game didn’t launch while I was in college. Never really got into wow but this would have definitely tanked my grades.

Brasil GEN fans & @taylolxd have shown us love since day one 🫡

Don’t worry, it wasn’t a spur of the moment decision to not include you in the photoshoot. Calculated this a month in advance.

I’ve got KC 3-1

Over the last few years 3/4 MSIs won by LPL 3/4 Worlds won by LPL 6/8 global competitions won by LPL I LOVE the history of the @LCK but there's a clear trend that we are falling behind the business/comp powerhouse of LPL & their ability to attract/grow talent $ -> Wins

This @Caedrel & tabe interview is so refreshing because of how authentic and honest it is. These longer form, more comfortable (helps they are sitting down!) podcast type interviews give much better insight into what’s really going on.

Ok @T1LoL this is kinda 🔥

I'm really excited to continue to work with the incredible team at Gen.G to build a great community around our organization. Looks like 2022 is going to be a busy year!

I think lolesports story-lining / discourse is in a bad middle ground. Everyone tries to be edgy because viewership is dominated by costreamers (rightfully so, this is the future) but refuse to stand their ground when pushed or confronted. “We’re just explaining to casual viewers” is weak. If they want to be edgy they should just full send it and allow for opposing views to take the other side. Embrace debate.

Agree that we are just at the early stages of what can be achieved in the Brazil scene! So much potential

GGs to an absolutely legendary team. Thank you to all the players, staff, and of course our fans for their support through the entire season.

Something’s wrong with the esports system if you win and can no longer afford the team to build a legacy/fanbase around because you won. The answer isn’t just “more content/merch” like you see parroted on forums - CPMs & consequently esports sponsorships are at an all time low.

Took the team out to a French restaurant to celebrate qualifying for Paris. Here’s everything the team tried and liked: ✅ escargot ✅ foie gras ✅ steak frites ✅ grilled lobster (I know this isn’t French necessarily but I dunno why but it just hit different) ✅ Bourgogne wine ✅ profiterole ✅ crème brulee Shout out to the staff at Entrecote Berlin who made some great recommendations. First thing the waiter said to us was asking if we had heard of @Kammeto @KarmineCorp If you’re in Berlin, definitely worth a visit: maps.app.goo.gl/CJ3TyH4SMnNV…

❤️‍🔥

it's official, we are in the ragebait era for esports

So @nemesis_lol was saying he can beat @j1hu1V_chovy 1v1 with 1 hand. I want to put together a 1-handed 1v1 gauntlet for him with Score, Cuvee, and Chovy. If he makes it through, I'll buy him a really nice tailored suit. Let's go.

Very excited to host !

I feel bad for all the intl league players visiting for worlds whose only impression of NYC is JFK/Times Square/Madison Square Garden. That’s gotta be the true gauntlet. “I want to leave NYC so bad” - unnamed Gen.G player

I just wanna learn how we can dodge Damwon

There’s an expression in Korea

Not the result we wanted but I want to thank all our players, staff, and fans for all the support this season. Much respect to @DRXGlobal for an incredible worlds run. Good luck to both teams at Worlds finals.

2021 esports 🔥🔥🔥 talk tier list

If you’re gonna have this up on broadcast, go stand on your business (which you have every right to) but tell us who so we know who the dumbass is rather than hiding behind a veil

GGs to @T1LoL. Especially want to thank the coaches for figuring out how to win on red side.

The real legends group battle

So fun to watch

GGs to @T1LoL - always such an incredible rival for us. We were able to even up the score against them 1-1 to end a historic LCK season. Thank you to all the fans that supported us throughout all our ups and downs. #TigerNation the best fans in the world.

Making sure @GenG keeps up with the truck meta 🌮

League is the greatest workout of all time

This guy is honestly my favorite part of Worlds and if this was a kdrama we would later find out he’s actually a double agent / part of a chaebol family / alien from the past looking for his wife from another life

Not 100% sure on the exact details, but I think it’s fair to blame @nemesis_lol for the pause affecting FNC

I know we missed the mark on the jersey but wanted to thank our loyal @GenG fans for coming through and buying the hell outta it. We set a new sales record (despite ~2.5x the quantity from last year) and sold out worldwide in the first 30 minutes Gen.G fans just built different

In all seriousness, as fans we are lucky to have such a great team come all the way out to Korea for a preseason tournament. Incredible org, team, and players.

Cmon @lolesports

Biz talk about how to get 🍰 over 🍰 w/ @YamatosDeath @nemesis_lol @thebausffs

Bonjour le monde 🤖

We should teach all our @GenG @GenG_KR pros how to do the hand heart on their first day. We’ll use this perfectly executed one as a tutorial video:

Ok but what’s this time-out chair about?

He may not have won but this is champion class

Excited to announce for all @GenG fans that we will be establishing a Chovy Nextgen Scholarship fund from the sale of our Worlds Jersey and Jacket. 30% of profits from this Worlds release will be directed towards scholarship programs for our Academy students for both their academy and university tuition. In addition, Chovy has also graciously donated 30M KRW to support this cause! Our goal is to support pathways for all gamers to realize their potential, whether it’s as a pro player, a university student, or as a professional pursuing a gaming career. inven.co.kr/webzine/news/?ne…

The only good food in Times Square

Ran into a celebrity at LAX @s0mcs

The church of LS vs the church of chovy going to be banger. Worlds is going to be 🔥

I remember this interview. Credit to @AshleyKang for a great question to @lolPeanut98 3 years ago

Yesterday I learned our entire LoL team takes their steak medium rare. I’m pretty sure that means we won the off-season.

Just wanted to shout out @TraYt0N - super cool to get to interact with all the FR fans, highly recommend his costreams as he covers quite a bit of LCK

GGs to an amazing @T1LoL team. We’ll need another try before we can knock the king off the hill. Props to Ophelia for stepping in off-role to help the team put together a good fight. Also, happy birthday @j1hu1V_chovy and get better soon @RulereluR 🙏

Ok can we just appreciate how amazing LCK is?!

everything went according to plan..i swear

the hot take of NA LCS just needs to work SMARTER so they can beat Asian teams who only know how to work hard is dumb & kinda sus top LPL/LCK orgs have built academy programs/scouting & data Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard too bad we work friggin hard

I think @nemesis_lol has just unlocked the eight gates 🔥🔥🔥

An incredible player and leader for the team. One of my favorite things during the season was to get a chance to grab a dinner here and there with him and be shocked at how great a perspective he had on his work and how he stayed so motivated through all the ups and downs of a season. He is the most thoughtful player I’ve ever had the chance to work with and a class act through and through.

This trash talk is great

What the

They’ve worked so, so hard for this and I’m very proud of this team and their incredible growth this season.

Chovy is a game changer - literally affects balance patches and changes the game we play on a fundamental level

Sheesh faker might be a better poppy than most of the junglers here at worlds

I just realized this year’s worlds have the highest stakes ever: Losing team has to go to Newark airport 💀💀💀

The esports world lost a good one today too soon. A great guy both professionally and personally who will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace.

What do the Swiss have against us

Never thought I'd see the day where @nemesis_lol hangs out with kpop stars

Just about every esports org owner I've talked to has echoed the same sentiment. The previous esports business model didn't work, and we need to work to build one that does if esports is going to continue to grow. Maybe it's launching consumer brands, maybe it's something else. Whatever it is, I expect to see esports orgs look radically different within the next two years.

Nice. You guys gonna fly 12 hours and get a win this time around?

Want to take a moment to thank our team for their trust in us. It means a lot in an industry that changes so much that we get a chance to work on winning together for the next 3 years.

MSI & EWC secured, one. game. at. a. time.

I wonder why Valorant is so hard to analyze. Tier lists are consistently wrong with pretty heavy regional biases. Even player assessments before and during the season are all over the place. Maybe the scene is still too new and we are underestimating patches / updates?

There’s nothing wrong with LCK pros choosing to play more solo queue games than other regions and nothing wrong with other regions’ pros deciding to have better work-life balance. It’s a personal decision and there isn’t one “right” way to build a career.

Had a pretty concerning conversation with a few different League owners/managers, coaches and even players: People in the know are getting pretty worried about the lack of talent pipeline for League, even in Korea. By talent pipeline I mean at the trainee level, before they even get a CL roster spot and become a star like Quid, Delight or our very own Peyz. More and more young kids with natural, competitive talent are playing other games, not just League. For instance, we have maybe 3x / 4x pipeline of future pro-level talent in Riot’s very own Valorant than League. At the same time, LCK players are more competitively talented and popular than ever. LCK is now reaching a level of mainstream popularity and cultural relevance that we’ve never seen before. There’s a mismatch here between the league’s popularity vs the hardcore, high-level competitive base and we’re not quite sure what’s driving that. One idea we tossed around was that maybe more are choosing to watch instead of play (at least ranked) as they get older and have other life commitments instead of focusing on THE GRIND to challenger (or more likely “high gold but should be low plat if it wasn’t for that inting jungler”). The other idea was that maybe it’s a hangover effect of the esports over inflation that we are now finally recovering from? Or maybe, there’s just too many great games / forms of entertainment to want to go all-in on just one (are we riding the same wave as traditional sports?). At the same time, though the pro scene is in some ways contracting with fewer teams and in turn paid roster spots in the ecosystem, we are still committed to investing in longer term talent development. As well, there are bright /spots of more new opportunities, with what I believe will be longer term integration of open team qualifiers (like Valorant), collegiate opportunities, and more international attention. For @GenG we want to serve as the launchpad for the best gamers in the world to find the best opportunities in the world. We’ve got a few ideas on initiatives that we think can support this, and we’d like to work with partners at esports orgs, colleges, and publishers to help make this happen. We’ll announce some updates this summer for what we are doing and appreciate everyone for taking time to read this!

@nemesis_lol and @CrownshotLoL will be spending time with us creating content & doing live-views of our matches while they train on the ladder. I really want to show what's so special about our team, and we now get to directly work with them to help show the world (5/6)
