Following a questionable start of the season, SK Telecom T1 impressed with a near-perfect run in LCK playoffs to win their eighth title, US $80,000 in prize money and a heavily sought-after ticket to the 2019 League of Legends World Championship<\/a>, which will give Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok a shot at winning his fourth world title.<\/p>\n

While slowly regaining strength, the three-time world champions still remain only a shadow of their former selves, when they were the unstoppable force in the LoL esports scene<\/a>. <\/p>\n

A fearsome squad, which consisted of Lee “Duke” Ho-seong, Bae “Bengi” Seong-woong, Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, Bae “Bang” Jun-sik and Lee “Wolf” Jae-wan terrorized teams at 2016 Worlds, and even put up a solid fight at 2017 World Championship, when SKT T1 finished runners-up. Unfortunately, their failure to win 2017 Worlds ended an era and pushed SKT T1 into a downward spiral.<\/p>\n

The 2018 LCK season proved to be the worst season in SKT T1 history. A disappointing fourth-place finish in the spring split, followed by a seventh-place finish in the summer split meant SKT T1 were faced with a painful fact they are going to miss the Worlds for the first time since 2015.<\/p>\n

Disappointed and determined to regain their status as one of the most feared teams in the world, SKT T1 implemented drastic changes, which meant a complete restructure of the team.<\/p>\n

In the eyes of the South Korean esports<\/a> organization, it was time to build the ultimate team around their superstar, Faker, and doing so by providing him with four teammates, who can help him win his fourth World Championship.<\/p>\n
