SK Telecom T1 Sign Mata And Coach Fly
By Zac Cameron ·
The roster is nearly complete, as SKT sign another legendary player to the team.
SK Telecom T1 have effectively completed their super roster for the 2019 LCK season, announcing the signing of former KT Rolster support Cho “Mata” Se-hyeong. One of the all-time greatest support players to ever grace the stage, Mata will join SKT after their worst competitive season ever, as the organization looks to rebuild and dominate the professional circuit in 2019.
안녕하세요. SKT T1입니다.

Mata will be joining an already stacked line-up consisting of top laners Kim "Crazy" Jae-hee and Kim "Khan" Dong-ha, junglers Kim "Clid" Tae-min and Kang "Haru" Min-seung, bot laners Han "Leo" Gyeo-re and Park "Teddy" Jin-seong, support player Lee "Effort" Sang-ho, and the legendary mid laner himself, Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok.
Additionally, SKT also announced the signing of a new coach, Kim “Fly” Sang-chul, who will be replacing Bae “Bengi” Seong-woong and Lee “PoohManDu” Jeong-hyeon. While PoohManDu will be looking to take his coaching talents elsewhere, Bengi will be taking a leave of absence from the pro scene as he completes his mandatory military service.
SKT are just one man short of a full 10-man roster, though given that the remaining slot is for the mid lane, it makes sense that this would be the are they are least concerned about filling in the near future. With a roster now full of talent in multiple roles, fans are expecting great things from the man dubbed “The Unkillable Demon King”, and with SKT looking to recapture the success they enjoyed as the only team to win three separate World Championships, this could prove to be the roster that puts them on top once again.
