The Korean Initiator is most known for his play on Sova, Fade, and Skye. He's likely to replace the role that Lakia , the team's main Initiator last season, played on Gen.G. Since making his professional debut in 2023, he's played for three different teams within Valorant's pro scene, but Gen.G will be his first foray into VCT.

Gen.G, who reached five grand finals and lifted three trophies this past season, ended 2024 on a sour note, bowing out in the group stages of Champions Seoul. Since then, they have made a handful of roster moves, first securing the re-signings of t3xture and Karon , while also extending the contract of coach HSK . The organization parted ways with and then re-signed in-game leader Munchkin , but has let Meteor and Lakia leave.

i think most people is forgetting yoman is a top initiator in all the agents and not just sova, last year whenever gen.g played maps where lakia didnt play sova they looked like a 4vs5 mostly and i say this even tho i like lakia, you can say yoman is worse on sova than lakia? sure but the gap isnt even big and yoman can play flashers with a bigger gap of skill than lakia so i think yall are overreacting saying yoman isnt a better option given what his cards are in comparison to lakia´s imo.

and people saying beyn was a better option is smoking crack or something because beyn´s best agents are controllers and duelists so i dont get exactly what you talking about, beyn hasnt even dropped decent numbers on tier 2 as recon and yoman has been a top recon on china ascension, vcl kr and now that he will be able to focus more on his mechanics he´ll surely frag as much as lakia on recon specially because he has never been on a team as good as this one so he´ll get better teammates to support and help him make plays instead of creating plays for his team and telling them what to do and what not.
