Gen.G Adds New Players to Their League of Legends Roster

In a move to boost the strength of their already impressive League of Legends roster, Gen.G eSports have added two new players to the squad, Moon "MONG" Chang-min and Song "Fly" Yong-jun. Set to join the team for the upcoming 2018 LoL Champions Korea summer season and the 2018 LoL World Championship, the two players will be working hard to showcase their worth on an already star-studded roster.

Moon "MONG" Chang-min has previously helped lead team BPZ to a third place finish in the Challengers Korea 2017 Spring Playoffs, and will be playing alongside the current top laner Lee "CuVee" Seong-jin.

Song "Fly" Yong-jun has had experience in several regions, most notably with KT Rolster in the LCK and more recently Flyquest in the NA LCS. He will be teaming up with current mid laner Lee "Crown" Min-ho as they prepare for the next season’s games.

"I am pleased to welcome these talented players to the Gen.G roster. We have been in close discussions with our experienced coaches to recruit two players,” said Gen.G’s General Manager Lee Ji-hoon. “We wanted players with long-term potential who can learn from the veteran players of Gen.G, who have championship records. We also wanted players who have a flexible play style, and who have the skill to help the team achieve top scores in the Summer Split. We think we have found those abilities in Moon and Fly, so we are happy they have joined the team."

The full roster will now comprise of CuVee and MONG in the top lane, Kang "Ambition" Chan-yong and Kang "Haru" Min-seung in the jungle, Crown and Fly in the mid lane, Park "Ruler" Jae-hyuk as AD Carry, and Jo "CoreJJ" Yong-in and Kim "Life" Jeong-min as support and substitute support respectively.

The names might sound familiar to fans of the LCK, in large part because the roster used to be KSV Esports, formerly Samsung Galaxy. You can read more about the roster swaps and name changes here, and find more information on the team itself on their official website, here.
