Daps announced on twitter regarding his future at Gen.G, as he revealed that another chapter of his career has ended.
The Gen.G project was created when the core of the C9 roster was acquired consisting of daps, koosta and autimatic at the end of last year.

Admitting that the current situation was not idea with no LAN’s and limited practice options without boot camps put him through a rough mental state.
He will be standing in for the team at the current ESL Pro League while the team finds new IGL.
