In an unexpected move, Gen.G has announced the benching of Kim "Foxy9" Su-yeon just four months after signing him. This decision has left fans puzzled, especially considering his strong performance in the kickoff event. While rumors suggest potential internal issues or team synergy concerns, no concrete reasons have been confirmed yet.
Community Reactions
Fans have voiced their frustration over Foxy9’s treatment throughout his career. One community member shared, "He was hyped up as Korea’s ‘prodigy’ before 2023, then got messed around with the 6-man roster and didn’t play any of the most important matches that year. He played well last year, replaced one of Asia’s best Sentinel players in 2025, and now gets benched after just one tournament where he looked pretty good." Another fan added, "I hope he finds a team again, I love his work ethic."
Many believe that Foxy9’s contributions deserved more recognition, and the decision to bench him after just one event feels unfair.
