The roster of the team just recently had qualified for IEM Cologne and is now set to be sponsored under one of the most prestigious and familiar E-Sports brands of all time. The team's captain and former top laner for Azubu Blaze, Reapered, had this statement to his fans on Facebook:
Hello.
I am Han-Gyu Bok, and am now a part of SKT T1.
First off, I’d like to thank SKT. They provided us with a good practice environment despite uncertain circumstances, and thus gave us something to work towards.
I also want to thank the rest of my teammates. They followed without a peep, even with extreme practice requirements. When I asked them to practice unconventional things, they would in fact ask in return how they should go about it, and that active mentality makes the team’s formation that much more meaningful to me.
A word of thanks to our coaches Byung-Hoon Choi and Jung-Gyun Kim. They made it possible for us to focus on only practicing, and I want to thank them for also cheering us on during our matches.
I will be sure to keep my promise to succeed and Royal Road.
Once again, thank you to the GM and everyone at SKT for the formation of our team. We will put forth our best efforts and be sure not to disgrace the reputation of SKT T1.
Thank you for reading the long post.
