Gen.G made a splash last month with the <\/span>benching of Danny “huynh” Huynh<\/span><\/a>, and now it seems they’ve found his replacement. The team took to Twitter to make the announcement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nicholas “NaturE” Garrison will join Michael “MkaeL” De Luca, Anthony “gMd” Guimond, Kenneth “koosta” Suen, and Shawn “Shawn” O’Riley as Gen.G’s starting <\/span>Valorant<\/span><\/a> roster moving forward. <\/span><\/p>\n

Gen.G seemed to be flying high after their 3rd place finish at VCT Stage 1: Masters. But just as quickly as the team rose, they fell back to Earth with disappointing performances at both of the VCT Stage 2: Challengers events, failing to make it out of Open Qualifiers at each.<\/p>\n

Now the team is looking to shake things up in the hopes of making a resurgence. They started by benching huynh back in late April 2021, and just today, the team signed NaturE to the roster.<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see how the team balances their roles going into the future, as NaturE was primarily a Sentinel player in his time with Immortals. While huynh was a Jett player when he was on the starting roster of Gen.G.<\/p>\n
