According to sources close to Sheep Esports, Kim”t3xture” Na-ra has reached a verbal agreement to remain with Gen.G for the 2026 VALORANT VCT Pacific season. The South Korean Duelist has been a central figure in the team's rise over the past two years and helped drive their 2024 breakthrough on the international stage.

After the organization announced on Twitter on 21 October that t3xture, Byeon “Munchkin” Sangbeom, “Karon” Won-tae, and Kim “Lakia” Jong-min were leaving, but eventually they decided to extend the Korean Duelist's contract — a common practice in South Korea.

Gen.G finished as runners-up at Masters Madrid and then secured the organization's first global title at Masters Shanghai, where t3xture earned his first Finals MVP honors. These results marked a milestone for the Pacific region, establishing Gen.G as a consistent threat in top-tier events.

t3xture's story and Gen.G's restructuring

t3xture is a veteran with a latent for a high-impact opening engagement and space-creation on agents like Jett. He joined Gen.G in 2024 after stints with DAMWON/KDW and Global Esports. Securing t3xture on a new deal would stabilize Gen.G around a proven primary Duelist as they refine roles and scouting priorities for 2026.

Retaining an MVP-caliber focal point preserves the team’s identity built on decisive entry work, a big firepower and mid-round flexibility, allowing staff to allocate the remainder of the offseason to complementary additions rather than replacing a franchise piece.
