Prior to the resignation of superstar player Cha “Pio” Seung-hoon, sources familiar with the situation shared the former world champion’s likely starting line-up in 2022. In his place, the team would include former General G. and ATA LAVEGA. Put the player Han “maczora” Dae-kyu into the team. The superstar fragger spent four months in 2019 before Gen. G signed Pio. However, that’s not the only step they take.
In addition, sources claim that Go “Esther” Jeong-won will be removed from the team and Jo “Asura” Sang-won will take on a role as a coach. In their place, sources said Ghibli Esports players Lee “Spear” Dong-su and Seo “Renba” Jae-young will replace them. Her additions would leave Na “Inonix” Hee-joo as the only remaining player from the 2021 roster.
The significance
In every way, Pio was the greatest player in PUBG history. His departure from the scene is a shock wave that can be felt at all levels of PUBG. Gen.G will be affected, Korea as a whole and even the global stage. Pio is the face of PUBG and his departure signals the end of an era.
All surrounding movements are also important. Maczora was one of the most talented players in Korea during the second half of 2021. His return just made too much sense. Additionally, it wasn’t surprising to swap two players for the Ghibli Esports duo. Asura and Esther weren’t exactly exhilarating despite their moments during their tenure. The Renba and Spear supplements offer a strong, dependable core that can now be paired with Inonix and Maczora.
