Sources: Evoh expected to sign for Gen.G Mobil1 Racing

According to sources close to Sheep Esports, Gen.G Mobile1 Racing are expected to sign Jordan "Evoh" Manley ahead of the RLCS Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ) in July. The organization has been planning a move after parting ways with Finlay "rise." Ferguson in May following a series of underwhelming results in RLCS 2026. Evoh links up with professionals Kenneth "frosty" Walz and Christopher "MaJicBear" Acevedo for the first time in his career. The LCQ represents an opportunity for Gen.G to qualify for their fourth World Championship in a row, a streak that started with their entry into Rocket League Esports in RLCS 2022-23.

Evoh has been quietly competing in the middle reaches of the North American RLCS. The 19-year-old was once one of the region’s top prospects, a career status that has stalled, if not slowly declined, since his singular RLCS LAN appearance at the 2022-23 Winter Major. However, the American professional has remained a constant regular in the RLCS, building a modest resume for himself after two stints with Dignitas. He has never failed to achieve a top-four Regional Open finish in every season since his debut and even narrowly missed out on a World Championship appearance last season with a runners-up placement in the 2025 LCQ. This season, Evoh competed with Logan "Fiv3Up" Seaman and top prospect Bora "bora" Sari on Dignitas, earning three top-six finishes across the season to achieve a respectable seventh place in the RLCS rankings.

Evoh was one of many tryouts that Gen.G practiced with following rise’s departure. French professional Liam "yujin" Daillac was considered by multiple organizations in North America including Gen.G, but is currently signed up with rise for the EWC LCQ in August. Another major option was Canadian professional Owen "PNDH" Young, but he lost out to Evoh in recent weeks. As a result, the organization looks to bring in a former domestic prospect who could be in a prime position to go one step further in his career after years of gaining experience in the RLCS.

This has been Gen.G’s worst year in Rocket League Esports. While the organization got off to a strong start after signing rise, appearing at the Kick-Off Weekend, they missed out on the Boston Major three months later. Results trended upwards ahead of the Paris Major, but it was not enough to make the team a top-four roster in North America. Before 2026, Gen.G had made 11 RLCS LANs in a row, including three World Championships, a run that was started with a title win at the 2022-23 Fall Split Major. Now the organization is hanging on for this one opportunity to recoup their losses at the 2026 World Championship. Going into the LCQ, Gen.G will be considered one of the favourites but faces fierce competition from recent Major attendees FUT Esports. Evoh will have to do a lot to bridge the gap in July.
