Gen.G Esports bench gMd

Gen.G Esports have benched long standing player Anthony "gMd" Guimond from their active roster, the organization announced today.

gMd had been a part of the organization since it entered professional VALORANT back in 2020. Since then, he has helped the team to a third place finish at VCT 2021 - Stage 1 - North America Masters, 5th-6th places at VCT 2021 NA Stage 3 Challengers 1 and 2, and a fourth place at VCT 2021 NA Stage 1 Challengers 3, amongst other achievements. He played his last event in a Gen.G jersey at Pittsburgh Knights Monthly Gauntlet 2022 - March, where the team finished 17th-32nd following a loss to Ghost Gaming.

The Canadian has played a variety of roles during his tenure, most frequently as a controller with Omen and Astra but has also flexed with Raze and Breach. Despite his versatility, he maintained a solid level of individual play with a 1.08 rating and 212 ACS overall.

Gen.G Esports now have two new players to find before the Stage 2 qualifiers begin post-Masters Reykjavik. So far they have played with William "Will" Cheng and Brady "thief" Dever on trial but it is yet to be seen if they are signed on a permanent basis.

Gen.G Esports are:
