Cho ‘Mata’ Se-hyeong impacts the game in a way very few support have in the history of League of Legends. Due to this, he received various achievements including his MVP award during the the 2014 World Championship. It should surprise no one why he is regarded so highly. A veteran presence such as his will be crucial to the success of SKT.

Kim ‘Khan’ Dong-ha made a strong impression during his 2017 LCK summer split championship run. He plays best on bruiser champions and builds leads for himself quite often. Unfortunately, his previous year was mediocre at best and is looking to redeem himself this upcoming split.

Park ‘Teddy‘ Jin-seong has proven himself in the LCK and as a result, is widely regarded as a strong ADC. Despite this, his team struggled to produce good results. With his departure from Jin Air, he sought teammates with skill to match his own. In other words, he identified SKT as a team that he’d benefit from joining.

Each player coming to the team for the 2019 spring split has something to prove for themselves. This team has the potential of being the best of all-time with iconic names such as Mata and Faker. Considering this, SKT have a lot of momentum coming into the 2019 LCK spring split.
