Gen.G continues to strengthen their VALORANT roster by acquiring Byeon “Munchkin” Sang-beom from T1. This marks Gen.G’s third signing of the offseason as they aim to rebuild after a disappointing season. Munchkin, who previously played for Cloud9 Korea and T1, brings his talent and experience to Gen.G, joining other highly-rated Korean players on the team.
During the 2023 season, T1’s VALORANT team consisted of players familiar with each other, including former Overwatch League stars like Munchkin, Lee “Carpe” Jae-hyeok, and Ha “Sayaplayer” Jung-woo. Munchkin proved to be a valuable role player, adapting his playstyle to complement the explosive talent of Sayaplayer. His consistent performance often went unnoticed, ranking among the top players in kill/death ratio, clutch percentage, and average damage per round in the Pacific League.
Munchkin’s impact extended beyond the Pacific region, where he showcased his skills against international teams. Notably, he delivered an impressive ace against top NA team NRG at Masters Tokyo, defying expectations and contributing to his team’s victory.
After parting ways with T1, Munchkin reunites with Gen.G, the organization he joined during his Overwatch League days. Alongside other promising talents like Kim “Lakia” Jong-min and Kim “t3xture” Na-ra, Gen.G is assembling a formidable roster. While they are still searching for a fifth player to complete their lineup, Munchkin fills a crucial role on the team. The only remaining piece is to find a skilled controller player to join the popular Pacific squad.
Overall, Gen.G’s acquisition of Munchkin signifies their commitment to building a strong VALORANT team. With a talented roster and the potential for further additions, Gen.G aims to make a mark in the competitive VALORANT scene.
