I saw a comment here or on Twitter that mentioned the fact that Riot doesn’t recognize Gen.G as SSG or SSW in official tournaments (ie: LCK,MSI,Worlds).

I’m also a frequent viewer of the LCK and noticed that during this years group stage the team’s “Banners” hanging from LoL park which showed the teams past achivements and Gen.G’s banner has SSG’s and SSW’s records seemingly absent from it. Which probably means that the LCK also doesnt recognize Gen.G as Samsung Galaxy

Whilst I searched for an answer for my odd question the community agreement seems to lean towards Gen.G being SSG. Completely opposite of Riot’s view on Gen.G

Now I’m even more confused to which is real. Is Gen.G a “rebrand” (like SKT T1 to T1) or the fact that they were bought out by KSV makes them a relatively new org with a separate history (like TSM to Shoppify Rebellion or Sunning to Weibo)

Let me know what your thoughts are on this random question.
