Gen.G announced their new Rocket League roster for the 2027 RLCS season, signing Landon ‘BeastMode’ Konerman as well as Jack ‘ApparentlyJack’ Benton as coach.
After being announced as a Partner for the RLCS Club Championship 2027 in the North America region, Gen.G announced their new roster as a highly ambitious project designed to compete at the top of one of Rocket League’s best regions.
Gen.G Mobi1 Racing secures former World Champion in rebuild
The new Gen.G Mobi1 Racing roster is:
- Landon ‘BeastMode’ Konerman
- Nicholas ‘Chronic’ Iwanski
- Cohen ‘Tawk’ Hawco
- Jack ‘ApparentlyJack’ Benton (Coach)
Gen.G’s intent with the roster is clear. In adding RLCS 2025 World Championship winner BeastMode to the roster, the team aims to step up their competitive offering.
The signing follows the disbandment of NRG’s World Championship-winning roster, which remained highly competitive in 2026 but failed to reach the same heights as 2025
The rest of Gen.G Mobi1 Racing’s roster seems to be prioritizing both form and known entities, with the org reuniting with Chronic, who last represented the organization in 2024.
Chronic placed 3rd/4th at the Rocket League World Championship 2026 after FUT backed up their potential after making the event through the qualifiers.
Tawk finished 5th/6th in the competition with Virtus.pro, making the roster a strong in-form entity going into 2027’s RLCS circuit.
The team will debut at RLCS Club Championship Kick Off in London from December 9-13.
ApparentlyJack to Coach Gen.G Mobi1 Racing
ApparentlyJack had announced his transition to coaching on October 2, when he formally revealed he was retiring from competition.
The British Rocket League legend retired after six years of top-level competition, most notably enjoying successful stints in both Gen.G and Dignitas.
The English player won the RLCS 2022-23 Fall Split Major with Gen.G Mobi1 Racing alongside Chronic, who will now play under his watchful eye.
2025 saw ApparentlyJack move to Dignitas, where the team secured a second-place finish at the RLCS 2025 Raleigh Major in a competitive year for the roster.
A move to Geekay in 2026 proved largely unsuccessful, as was a brief return to Dignitas where the team finished 3rd/4th in the RLCS 2026 Last Chance Qualifier: North America, causing the team to narrowly miss out on the RLCS World Championship and bringing an end to the player’s journey in the RLCS.
