On July 9, 2026, Gen.G Gold officially announced the addition of two players to its VALORANT lineup: RaxcaL, whose full name is Minseok Kim, and Efina, known off-server as Kim Nak-yeon. The signings arrive less than a week before VCT 2026 Pacific Stage 2 is scheduled to begin on July 16.
What changed and why it matters
The two arrivals fill the gaps left by Lakia and ZynX, both of whom have departed the roster. RaxcaL was promoted from Gen.G’s academy team, while Efina joins as a fresh external signing.
VCT Pacific Stage 2 runs from July 16 through September 6, 2026.
