Gen.G Extends Contract with Jungler Peanut for 2023 LCK Season
The League of Legends offseason is shaping up to be eventful for Gen.G. While mid laner Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon remains a free agent, the team has managed to secure the services of jungler Han “Peanut” Wang-ho for the upcoming year. Peanut has extended his contract with Gen.G for the 2023 LCK season, according to a recent announcement on Twitter. This is a significant move for Gen.G after the strong performances Peanut delivered throughout 2022.
Peanut’s Consistency and Success with Gen.G
Throughout 2022, Peanut proved to be one of the top players in his role within the domestic league. He played a crucial part in Gen.G’s victory in the LCK Summer Split and their top-four finish at Worlds 2022.
This extension marks a milestone in Peanut’s career, as it is the first time he will be with the same organization for two consecutive seasons. Previously known for frequently switching teams each year, Peanut has found stability and continued success at Gen.G.
Next Steps for Gen.G
Now that Peanut’s contract is secured for 2023, Gen.G must address the situation with their top lane and bot lane. The contracts of Doran and Lehends have also expired, while ADC player Ruler has already left the organization. The free agency period has begun, and Gen.G will need to make strategic moves to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season.
Potential for a Spicy Off-Season in the LCK
With Peanut’s contract extension and the ongoing free agency period, it promises to be an exciting off-season for Gen.G and the LCK as a whole. Fans eagerly await further announcements and roster changes as teams prepare for the 2023 season.
