Gen.G have completed their Valorant roster with the signings of ex-XSET player Bryce “PureR” Lovell and former 100 Thieves controller Noah “jcStani” Smith.

The additions come after the departure of Anthony “gMd” Guimond and Michael “MkaeL” De Luca, two of the founding members of the squad.

JcStani brings with him experience from Pioneers, a rising team in the Tier 2 Valorant scene, and 100 Thieves.

As the in-game leader of Pioneers, he helped lead the team to deep runs in both VCT NA Stage 1 Challengers open qualifiers, although they eventually fell short against Luminosity and NRG Esports.

Since being dropped from the 100 Thieves roster, the 21-year-old has been on the hunt for a new organization. He previously trialed with Evil Geniuses as a potential replacement for Mike “pho” Panza, before eventually signing with Gen.G.

PureR has spent most of his time with XSET, before exiting at the start of 2022 to make way for Matthew “Cryocells” Panganiban.

“It’s only been a couple of weeks with [the both of them] but I’ve been incredibly impressed with their abilities to frag while contributing to the team in other aspects as well. Looking forward to this next round of VCT,” tweeted head coach Chris “Elmapuddy” Tebbit.

The new Gen.G Valorant roster is slated to compete in the upcoming VCT NA Stage 1 Challengers open qualifiers, which kick off on April 28.
