T1 have made a significant change to their League of Legends<\/a> roster in time for the second phase of the LCK Spring Split, installing Kim “Sky” Ha-Neul — one of their coaches — as a substitute player. <\/p>\n

Jeong “Becker” Hoi-toon, the team’s general manager, revealed that the move was made in a bid to follow Riot Games’ regulations concerning international events, including the LoL World Championship<\/a> and Mid-Season Invitational<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“For round 2, Sky’ Kim Ha-neul, our League of Legends team coach, will be registered as a player. According to the rulebook for international events hosted by Riot Games (such as MSI and Worlds), a participating team is required to register at least one substitute player,” he explained.<\/p>\n

Becker also disclosed that Sky would be signed with an official player contract for his new role. Prior to the change, T1 had five players and four coaches.<\/p>\n

In accordance with LoL Esports’ Summoner Name policy, Becker disclosed that for the duration of his time as a substitute, Sky’s IGN will be changed to “Skyyy”.<\/p>\n

T1’s current roster consists of Choi “Zeus” Woo-je, Ryu “Keria” Min-seok, Moon “Oner” Hyeon-joon, Lee “Gumayusi” Min-hyeong, Sang-hyeok “Faker” Lee, and Skyyy as a substitute. <\/p>\n

T1 have enjoyed a fantastic start to the split, recording seven wins — four of those clean sweeps — from their first eight games. The team’s only defeat so far was a shock 1-2 defeat to Hanwha Life Esports at the start of February.<\/p>\n

T1 are set to face a serious challenge this week as the first phase of the split comes to a close. They face third-placed SANDBOX Gaming on Friday, then take on second-placed Gen.G on Sunday, February 19.<\/p>\n

Esports betting sites have T1 pegged as -500 favorites to beat SANDBOX (+310), while they are -370.37 to emulate their Week 1 victory against Gen.G (+240). <\/p>\n
