With the conclusion of Worlds 2019, teams from the LCK return to Korea humbled. The LCK has failed to send a representative to the World Final for 2 years in a row, and now look to begin rebuilding rosters and infrastructure to get a better shot at reclaiming their spot at the top of the LoL world. With this offseason comes some big moves, so let’s get right into breaking down who’s going where.







T1

With a disappointing exit in the Semifinals of the 2019 World Championship at the hands of G2 Esports, the three-time world champions return to the LCK looking to make some big changes. T1’s roster, while unfinalized, is looking just as threatening as it did going into Worlds 2019. With long-time coach kkOma leaving as well, the question remains for T1; will these changes be enough to reclaim their throne? Or will T1 spend another year chasing former glory? With T1 signing jungler Moon “Cuzz” Woo-chan, as well of the departure of jungler Kim “Clid” Tae-min and recent T1 top laner Kim “Khan” Dong-ha yet to re-sign with T1, the roster is still uncertain. Here’s a quick breakdown.







There is currently no known information for T1’s top laner.

Moon “ Cuzz ” Woo-chan

” Woo-chan Lee “ Faker ” Sang-hyeok

” Sang-hyeok Park “ Teddy ” Jin-seong

Griffin

After some controversy surrounding staff in 2019, Griffin is looking to move past its rough year. Griffin managed to qualify for the World Championship for the first time in organization history, only to fall in quarterfinals to the defending world champions, Invictus Gaming 3-1. Griffin seems to be returning to the LCK with the same roster they fielded last year, with most of the internal issues seemingly resolved. Here’s the returning Griffin roster.

Choi “ Doran ” Hyeon-joon

” Hyeon-joon Choi “ Sword ” Sung-won

” Sung-won Lee “ Tarzan ” Seung-yong

” Seung-yong Jeong “ Chovy ” Ji-hoon

” Ji-hoon Park “ Viper ” Do-hyeon

” Do-hyeon Son “Lehends” Si-woo

DAMWON Gaming

DAMWON took a trip to Europe for the 2019 World Championship, landing a quarterfinals finish, falling to G2 Esports in 4 games. DWG returns to the LCK this spring, having not made any changes to their starting roster, looking to build upon last year’s performance and return to the World Championship in 2020. With that, let’s get a quick refresher on who DAMWON will be fielding again.

Jang “ Nuguri ” Ha-gwon

” Ha-gwon Kim “ Canyon ” Geon-bu

” Geon-bu Heo “ ShowMaker ” Su

Gen.G (formerly Samsung Galaxy) failed to make the 2019 World Championship, a historical failure for the organization after a rough 2019 season. With Gen.G only holding on to one member of the former world champions from their 2017 roster, Gen.G is looking to make large signings to retake the lost glory from the days of Samsung Galaxy. Gen.G announced a large signing, picking up Kim “Rascal” Kwang-hee, Kim “Clid” Tae-min and Gwak “Bdd” Bo-seong. Here’s a sneak peek at the projected Gen.G roster.
